SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
While our membership is increasing it is not the policy for 
any one of us to think that some one else can do the work, but it 
behooves each of us to get busy and see that some prosecutions 
are started and the results noted, and if there is still a flaw in our 
machinery, we can get it repaired in the coming legislature, and 
if it is sound, then every violator, whether he be a graduate or 
non-graduate, should be made to stand the consequences.

VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION OF NEW 
i JERSEY. 
The twenty-eighth semi-annual meeting of the Veterinary 
Medical Association of New Jersey was held at Jersey City July 
li, 1912. 
The morning was given over to clinic. President T. E. Smith 
provided an excellent place and the local committee had gathered 
an abundance of material. Among the operations were quittor 
operation, castrations, tenotomy, fistulus withers operation, 
operation for cysts and neurectomy. A number of obscure cases 
were presented for diagnosis and altogether the clinic was a de¬ 
cided success. 
Dinner was served at the Columbian Club, after which Mayor 
Otto Wittpenn of Jersey City gave the address of welcome. 
A short business session was then held. 
Four new members were elected: Drs. S. W. Schuppan of 
Freehold, Chas. C. Schloemer of Hoboken, T. F. O’Dea of Union 
and Wm. A. Fitzpatrick of Burlington. 
The following resolution was adopted: 
“ Resolved, That the Veterinary Medical Association of New 
Jersey commends the work of the Bureau of Animal Industry 
and has full confidence in the manner it is being carried out.” 
It was arranged to hold a half-day meeting in the fall, at 
which time there will be an open discussion as to what new legis¬ 
lation towards better public health laws will be supported by the 
association. The laws as to tuberculosis and other contagious 
diseases of animals will receive particular attention. 
President T. E. Smith was presented with a handsome cane 
and umbrella as a token of esteem from the Hudson County Prac¬ 
titioners' Club. The presentation was made by Dr. Rufus R. 
Ramsev.
