Dr. Stickney spoke of a case where a horse picked up a screw-driver with 
out a handle, from which he made a good and speedy recovery. 
At the request of the President Dr. Winchester then gave a brief account of 
his visit to Chicago and of the meeting of the United States Veterinary Medical 
Association on the 16th and 17th of September. 
Dr. Osgood brought up the subject of rabies by reporting a suspicious case 
of his at Springfield, the dog being in a cell at the police station, under obser¬ 
vation. He had bitten two children, but it was still uncertain whether he was 
really rabid or only vicious. This led to quite a discussion upon rabies, the 
President, Drs. Winchester, Stickney, Ferguson, Beckett, Peterson and the Sec¬ 
retary taking part. 
The conversation turned to the subject of paralysis of the muscles of the 
lips, face, nostrils and eyelids in horses; the President, Drs. Hadcock, Peterson, 
Beckett and the Secretary stating cases which had occurred in their practice. 
Adjourned.
