should have been warned of it in order to satisfy themselves that if they took 
any steps at all it would be in the right direction. The resolutions were passed 
and his protest he knew amounted to nothing, but he made it, nevertheless. 
Dr. C. F. Bell, of Kokomo, Ind., now favored the Association with a re¬ 
port of an interesting case in which he had performed tenotomy on all four legs 
of a foal successfully, remedying a serious contraction of the flexor tendons, 
which was followed by the usual discussion*. 
Dr. A. J. Thompson next read a very able paper on “ The Administration 
of Medicine,”* which elicited a hearty discussion, in which nearly all members 
present took part, and this was followed by a paper on “Indigestion,” by Dr. 
J. Rodgers.* 
Moved by Dr. Ferling, seconded by Dr. Diggs, that the next meeting of 
the Association be held in Richmond in June, the date not yet to be decided on. 
The President then named essayists for the next meeting. 
The meeting then adjourned.

French, Wilson Huff, N. P. Hinkley, J. C. Hill, E. D. Hayden, Pros. James

Prof. Smith, Toronto; Dr. A. L. Hunter, Dr. A. N. McQueen, Dr. Charles 
Cowie, and several others. 
President Morris then read his annual address as follows : 
One year has elasped since our Society was organized. Our first annual 
meeting brings us to the consideration of but one potency. Is it a success, or a 
failure ? The former seems to be the result. 
It is most gratifying to watch the progress and deep interest that is being 
taken, in and out of the Society. 
Gentlemen who are members of the profession, but not members of the 
Society, are keeping close watch as to the probable outcome of the organization, 
desiring to affiliate themselves with it at no distant day. The regular medical 
profession is none the less interested, as its members are aware that a centraliza¬ 
tion of the scientific powers and resources of the veterinary profession would be 
a potent factor in the development of some of the obscure causes in zymotic 
diseases. The two professions should go hand in hand, as our aims are one, 
our interests identical.
