SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
Hog cholera was also discussed in this report. Dr. Giltner 
and his committee were congratulated upon their very instructive 
and interesting report, much of which was explained by Dr. Gilt* 
ner, with the aid of blackboard and charts. 
A very profitable discussion followed each of the subjects 
treated. 
Dr. Pope, B. A. I., gave a very interesting talk on disinfec¬ 
tion that was much appreciated and listened to with great interest. 
Dr. Snyder, of the M. A. C., was present at a portion of our 
meeting and gave a very interesting talk upon the progress of 
veterinary science. He said no profession was making greater 
progress. 
Mr. H. H. Haliday and Mr. H. H. Hinds, of the Livestock 
Sanitary Commission, were present during the discussion of the 
Committee on Diseases report and took part. 
Dr. H. M. Armour gave a short talk on the subject “ Treat¬ 
ment of Wounds,” which was discussed by several of the mem¬ 
bers. 
Dr. James Harrison’s paper, “ Veterinary Practice on the 
Ranges of Texas,” was read by Dr. E. A. Ewalt, in the absence 
of the author. 
Dr. R. F. Erwin said that he had no experience with the sub¬ 
ject assigned to him, “ Antitoxin in Strangles and Influenza,” 
but the subject was discussed by other members. Dr. E. H. 
Sheperd, of Cleveland; Drs. Cavell, Mix and Dunphy took part 
in this discussion. 
Meeting reconvened Wednesday, February 7, 2.30 p. m., and 
after the Executive Committee had reported on some additional 
applicants, Dr. F. M. Blatchford gave a short talk on the sub¬ 
ject “ Is the Auto a Good Investment for the Country Practi¬ 
tioner? ” 
Dr. R. H. Wilson gave an excellent paper on “ Biological 
Products ” that was much appreciated, and the discussion that 
followed showed that our members have retained their interest in 
these scientific subjects. 
Prof. R. P. Lyman read a very instructive and able paper on 
the subject “ Differentiating the So-called Colics in Solipeds,” 
which was listened to by all who had the pleasure of being 
present. 
The meeting now repaired to the Entomological Building, 
where Prof. W. L. Williams gave an illustrated lecture on “ Ster¬ 
ility in Cows.” This part of our program was unusual, and to 
say it was enjoyable is putting it mildly.
