Dr. J. A. Campbell was present at the hour appointed, to explain the charge 
of unprofessional conduct filed and recorded at a previous meeting. The Sec 
retary read the charge and Dr. Campbell denied being the author of the printed 
article upon which the charge was based. He claimed that his name was signed 
to the article without his knowledge or consent. The sequence of this explan¬ 
ation was the adoption of the following resolution offered by S. H. Johnson 
and seconded by G. A. Johnson. 
Resolved .—If J. A. Campbell will publish in the Iowa Homestead , over his 
signature, a statement that he did not authorize the use of his name in connec¬ 
tion with the printed article upon which the charge was based, and will file with 
the Secretary a statement from Chamberlain & Co. to the same effect; that Dr. 
Campbell be exonerated from the charge.
