LONG ISLAND YETERINARY SOCIETY. 
The annual meeting of the Long Island Yeterinary Society was held at 74 
Adams Street, Brooklyn, on Wednesday, December 19, 1888, the President Dr. 
George H. Berns in the chair. There was a full attendance. 
Minutes of the previous meeting stood accepted as read. 
Reports were received from the Treasurer and Secretary, showing the thrifty 
condition of the Society, there being a substantial balance in the treasury above 
all liabilities. Dr. W. H. Pendry, the chairman of the Board of Censors, reported 
favorably on the application of E. J. Decker, D.Y.S., of Springfield, L. I., who 
was unanimously elected to membership. 
On the call for reading of papers, Dr. W. H. Pendry responded with one, 
taking for his subject “ Laminities versus Founder,” in which he contended that 
laminities was not of necessity founder, and sought to impress his hearers with 
the unfairness of so commonly using the term founder, he considering that in the 
latter there were structural changes which could not possibly be positively over¬ 
come, and that where laminities or simple congestion existed that the client 
should not be unnecessarily alarmed by being told that his horse was foundered. 
He quoted at length from Zundel, Williams and Dick to strengthen his opinion. 
The argument was taken that the term founder was a layman’s term and not 
a technical or professional one, and that cases of laminities were called founder, 
because the owner better understood it and it avoided explanation.
