the same, or of operations, with a view to advertisement, would be deemed 
reprehensible. It is also reprehensible for veterinarians to give certificates re¬ 
lating to patent medicines, or promoting their use in any way. 
There is no profession whose members are more tempted to practice double 
dealing than the veterinary, as for instance, in giving of opinions regarding the 
purchase and sale of horses. Any member guilty of that offence shall be ex¬ 
pelled from the Association. 
The Secretary was instructed to have the new By-Laws and stationery 
printed. The Association adjourned to meet at Long Branch, August 4th, when

KEYSTONE VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. 
At a regular monthly meeting of the Keystone Veterinary Medical Associa¬ 
tion, held in the ampitheatre of the Veterinary Department of the University of 
Pennsylvania, President Dr. Zuill called the meeting to order at 8:30 p. m. 
Fourteen members present. 
The minutes of preceding meeting were read and adopted as read. 
Dr. Goentner was appointed to read a paper at this meeting, but was absent. 
Dr. Hoskins reported case of horse bought subject to trial and which soon 
died, and the autopsy showed marked lesions in the kidneys which he attributed 
to the obstinate course that the symptoms of pleuresy had taken, and he thought 
that the disease of the urinary system was long seated, and that if the animal 
had lived would have soon succumbed to azoturia, and he thought this an impor¬ 
tant discovery, throwing much light on the subject, and that if owners would 
only pay for it, that an analysis of urine should be included in a certificate of 
soundness. 
Dr. Zuill thought the fraibility of the kidneys due to post mortem charge. 
Dr. Huidekoper thought with Dr. Zuill. 
There were several other interesting cases reported by Drs. Kooker, Glass 
and Hoskins. 
Dr. Zuill showed a case of collection of sinuses which obstructed the respira¬ 
tion so much as to simulate a new growth in the nasal cavities. The hour for 
adjournment having arrived the meeting adjourned.

counts given by him were from own observations in the laboratory of Dr. 
Pasteur.
