in my experience, you have so much trouble with the cavity by 
its continual filling' up with food, so never extract unless they 
be loose.” 
Dr. Gribble had extracted lower molars when cutting ofl^ 
would have been better. In two cases continued filling with 
food prevented healing and ended by having fistula of jaw. 
Dr. Beechy knew a case where molar was extracted more 
than a year ago, yet still a foul smelling discharge from the 
nostrils. 
Dr. Cotton thought caries teeth affected the eye, and he had 
seen caries wolf teeth. 
Dr. Derr had a wolf tooth which he had extracted from a 
five-year-old horse, and the tooth was sickle shaped and over 
three inches long. 
Dr. W. C. Fair thought the teeth of cattle were sadly neg¬ 
lected, as he had found many ; when the teeth were attended to 
they were relieved at once ; he, in fact, believed that cattle suf¬ 
fered as much from disorders of the teeth as did horses, the same 
ages considered. 
The general verdict sustained Dr. Cotton in not extracting 
molar teeth unless compelled so to do. 
Meeting now adjourned to meet to-morrow morning at 8:30.

membership. He is a graduate of Ontario Class, 1892, and was 
unanimously elected, after which he thanked the association in a 
few well-chosen remarks. 
S. G. Reed, having quit the practice of veterinary medicine, 
asked to withdraw from membership; the same was granted. 
Considerable correspondence was read, some of which was 
severely criticised, as the writer wrote of matters concerning the 
association, in which he showed himself ignorant of what he 
wrote about.
