SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
To the Pennsylvania State Veterinary Medical Association :— 
We beg leave to report that we have had presented to us for 
consideration a letter from Dr. James A. W augh, calling our 
attention to an advertisement in the Spirit of the Times , a spott¬ 
ing paper, dated December 3, 1893, by the Ontaiio Veterinaiy 
College, advertising for students for a term of three months, 
and that we deprecate the action of the Ontario Veterinary 
College, and recommend that this association censure the 
faculty of the said college for abbreviating the course of vete¬ 
rinary education. 
The recommendations of the board were received. The 
Auditing Committee report, the treasurer’s report and bills 
correct. 
Dr. Zuill’s paper being called for was read, entitled “Surgi¬

stated that if there were no objections he would ask for the 
reading of the paper by Dr. E. Sturge on “Penetrant Cauteriza¬ 
tion in Treatment of Lameness for Ostitis,” as both papers 
covered much of the same ground, and the discussion would 
then take place on both papers. There being no objections, 
Dr. Sturge read his paper. The discussion following proved 
very interesting, critical and conflicting, and was participated 
in by Drs. John W. Adams, W. B. E. Miller, Harger, Pearson, 
Eves of Delaware; Martenet of Maryland; Sallade, Hoskins, 
Foelker and Allen. 
At 1:15 P. M. adjourned for lunch. 
The meeting reconvened at 2:30 P. M. The Board of Cen¬ 
sors favorably recommended for membership Dr. C. S. Mc¬ 
Kenna, and on motion his election followed. 
The chair then called attention to the fact that the Comitia 
Minora of the United States Veterinary Medical Association 
would shortly meet to determine upon a place of meeting for 
1894. He had been importuned by many that this state and 
Philadelphia should be favored with this meeting, and it was 
open for further consideration by the members. Many of the
