Dr. Cotton stated he was a subscriber to a crematory, and 
at death was to be cremated. 
Moved by Dr. Torrence and supported by Dr. Wight that 
as this (as far as they knew) was the first paper from a vet¬ 
erinary surgeon advocating cremation, the same be printed 
in one of the State newspapers. Objected to by Dr. Gribble 
and the motion withdrawn. 
A communication was read from Drs. Newton and Carter, 
of Toledo, stating that as they were about to engage in a busi¬ 
ness not strictly professional and at variance with the code of 
ethics, they desired to withdraw. On motion the request was 
granted. 
Complaint was made that Dr. W. C. Fair, of Cleveland, 
was using his name and influence in publicly advertising a 
secret remedy known as caustic balsam. Moved and duly 
supported that the Secretary notify Dr. Fair to be present at 
our next meeting, and show cause (if the complaint be true) 
why he should not be expelled from membership in the Asso¬ 
ciation. 
It was moved, seconded and unanimously carried that the 
Secretary incorporate in the minutes and call the attention of 
the American Veterinary Review and The Journal of Compara¬ 
tive Medicine to the fact of unprofessional advertisements of 
proprietary medicines, as spelterine, creolin, sanitas prepara¬ 
tions, etc., and that such ought to be discontinued. 
The Secretary was instructed to correspond with the Sec¬ 
retaries of the Indiana and Michigan Associations, and arrange 
if possible for a joint summer meeting. 
Dr. W. H. Gribble read the following : 
Lancaster, Ohio. —J. B. Hillock, V.S., died July 26,1891. 
Dr. Hillock was a member of this Association from its origin, 
and always took an active interest in its welfare. His death 
was exceptionally sad, from the fact that it was unexpected, 
and brought about in the course of his professional duties, he 
dying of acute septicaemia. On Tuesday, July 21, in holding a 
post-mortem on an animal that died of pneumonia, he slightly 
cut the knuckle of the second finger of his right hand. It was 
a very slight injury, no attention whatever being paid to it
