SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
361 
inary college had issued a diploma upon an attendance in col¬ 
lege from last November to April. This man is now adver¬ 
tising extensively in this State and competing as a graduate 
with men who have earned their diplomas. Much indigna¬ 
tion was expressed because an institution of pretended merit 
should send into this State, where none are protected by any 
laws, men who are in reality not sufficiently educated and 
whose diplomas in no way represent true qualification. 
The report from the Committee on Collective Statistics 
was a valuable paper upon the diseases of the State. Tuber¬ 
culosis, Southern cattle fever, influenza, strangles and pneu¬ 
monia prevailed in about the order named ; epizootic pharyn¬ 
gitis prevailed in Richmond and Norfolk. An outbreak of 
anthrax was reported from the western part of the State. 
Among interesting cases reported, Dr. J. E. Miller re¬ 
ported rupture of the stomach in a stallion. 
Dr. H. Bannister, of Roanoke, reported the post mortem 
lesions in a case of adenoma. 
Dr. Niles, of Blacksburg, reported a case of anthrax. 
Dr. Faville reported a case of pymmia following pharyn¬ 
gitis. 
Drs. Marshall and Dixon reported some interesting surgi¬ 
cal cases. 
Dr. Harbaugh read a very interesting paper on “ Pleural 
Pregnancy, involving some fine points in jurisprudence. 
After being most splendidly entertained by Prof. Niles 
and his estimable wife, the Association adjourned to meet in 
Richmond, Jan. 2, 1896, at which time the election of officers 
will take place.
