Association. 
A motion was passed accepting the resignation of Dr. Stewart of Mt. Victory, 
and granting him a certificate of honorable withdrawal. 
Dr. W. H. Gribble of Washington Court House, Ohio, now read an able 
paper on “Thoracic Choke,” confining his remarks chiefly to the horse. He 
cited a large number of cases from his practical experience and discussed the 
causes, symptoms and most successful modes of treatment at some length, also 
the varied conditions revealed to him (rupture of oesophagus, etc.) on post mor¬ 
tem examination where the cases had proven fatal. The paper proved highly in¬ 
teresting and the discussion following it was participated in by almost every 
member present. 
Dr. G. W. Butler of Circleville, Ohio, read a paper on “ Rabies and Strongy- 
lus Tetracantlius as a coincidence in the horse.” The paper evidenced considera¬ 
ble scientific research on the Doctor’s part and it drew forth hearty applause 
and an interesting after discussion. 
Dr. Shepard now read a paper entitled “ A few Practical Hints,” by Dr. S. 
R. Howard of Hillsboro, Ohio. The paper was well received. 
The Board of Censors was abolished and those portions of the Constitution 
and By-laws relating thereto were amended. 
Dr. G. W. Butler moved the adoption of resolutions severely censuring the 
Ohio Board of Live Stock Commissioners for their negligence in allowing the dis¬ 
posal of glandered horses in Piqua County, Ohio, and requested that a copy of 
said resolutions be recorded in the minutes of our meeting, and also sent to said 
Board of Live Stock Commissioners and to the Governor of Ohio. 
A vote of thanks was tendered the City Council of Dayton, for the use of the 
Council Chamber. 
The Secretary was ordered to urge the members of our Association to attend 
the meeting of the United States Veterinary Medical Association at Chicago. 
The meeting then adjourned. 
Most of the members remained over in Dayton the following day and were 
escorted through the Soldiers’ Home by Dr. Howe, and also witnessed an opera¬ 
tion upon a “roarer,” at Dr. Shaw’s Veterinary Infirmary. Dr. G. W. Butler 
administered the chloroform, while Drs. Shaw, Wight and Gribble assisted one 
another in the excision of the left arytenoid cartilege and thyro arytenoidean 
ligament.
