SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
section and chemical cauterization of the surrounding tissues. 
No. 3. Subject Gray Gelding—Roarer (12 months’ stand¬ 
ing). Operator: Dr. J. W. Klotz, assisted by several others. 
General anaesthesia, method used that of Professors Williams 
and Hobday; removal of mucous membrane of the ventricle by

No. 4. Subject Gray Gelding. Furnished by Dr. Geo. H. 
Roberts. Previous history: Brought in some time ago suffer¬ 
ing from pleurodynia. The animal soon after developed circu¬ 
latory trouble. Dr. T. M. Hall and Dr. Chas. Morris were ap¬ 
pointed to diagnose the case, which they pronounced a case of 
myocarditis with valvular complications. 
At 12 noon clinics adjourned for luncheon, furnished on 
the grounds by the college. 
Clinics resumed at 1.30 and continued until 3.30, during 
which time several interesting cases of lameness and operative 
subjects were disposed of, when the association was again called 
in session to act on some matters that had been passed over for 
the time being. Adjournment followed, to meet January 15 
and 16, 1913, in the annual session. 
This meeting, I believe we can truthfully say, was the greatest 
in every respect that the association has ever held; in attendance, 
in the interest shown by each member, in the number of new 
members and in the spirit manifested by every one, to try and 
entertain to the best of our ability the American Veterinary 
Medical Association when they meet with us in August. And 
we believe that every member went home with the resolution 
in his mind to assist in every way possible to make the visitors 
feel that we appreciate their choice of Indianapolis as the place 
for their forty-ninth annual meeting. 
As the local committee and place of meeting have already 
been announced in your columns, I do not presume it necessary 
to take up your space with that, but will say that Dr. Geo. H. 
Roberts, as chairman of the local Committee on Arrangements, 
will furnish any information in regard to that. (Do not tell 
him that I said he would, or he will be hunting up something 
for me to do.) 
Our President (State Association) Dr. W. J. Armour, Dis¬ 
trict National Secretary Dr. J. W. Klotz, Vice-President Dr. J. 
G. Heighway, or myself will at all times be ready to give any 
information we can to anyone. 
A. F. Nelson, Secretary.
