bad. The bladder was washed out with boracic acid solution 
and boracis was given internally. The mare made good recov¬ 
ery. The peculiarity of the case was that a man had been seen 
to go the mare’s stall and raise himself by standing on a bucket, 
place his arm in the mare’s vagina and take “satisfaction” in this 
way. On one occasion, at least, he introduced his penis into the 
mare, and the question arose as to whether such an act would 
^cause this condition on the mare. 
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.

ILLINOIS STATE VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. 
A meeting of the Illinois State Veterinary Medical Associa¬ 
tion held at Peoria, Ill. (National Hotel), February 28th, ’95. 
The meeting was called to order at 11 A. M. by the President, 
Dr. M. Wilson of Mendota, Ill. On roll call by the secretary 
the following members responded. Drs. A. G. Alverson, G. Z. 
Barues, A. Babb, Geo. Ditewig, C. V. Hartman, R. W. Story and 
M. Wilson. On motion of Dr. Hanawalt, a graduate of the Chi¬ 
cago Veterinary College, Class of 1892, who was vouched for by 
Dr. A. M. Story was elected to membership by acclamation. 
Society then adjourned for dinner. On convening at 2 P. M. 
the society listened to a paper by Dr. Ditewig entitled “The 
Strongyli Tetracanthus and Armatus, as a Cause of Death.” A 
lengthy discussion then took place in which most of the members 
present related their experience with those helminths. 
On call of the president Dr. Barnes next read an essay enti¬ 
tled “What of the Future of the Veterinary Profession?” 
This paper called forth a general discussion, after which Dr. 
Babb responded to his name with a production, the “Etiology 
of Tuberculosis.” 
At the close of the discussion that followed, Dr. Stringer made 
a motion, which was seconded by Dr. Ditewig that the president 
extend the regrets of the society to Dr. J. W. Parkinson in his 
present illness and express our hopes that he may recover.
