which he advised all the veterinarians to be true to the association 
and active members. 
Dr. Burson then read a paper on “Sporadic or Mycotic Stom¬

foot and mouth disease. This paper was fully discussed by both 
the Georgia and Alabama veterinarians. 
Dr. P. W. Hudson, of Americus, Ga., reported his method of 
treating cases of hursatti. He removed all infected tissues with 
a knife and then applied chloroform linament regularly. In the 
discussion some veterinarian advised the use of iodoform one 
part and ether six parts with daily application. 
Dr. Burson next gave a talk on the method employed in mak¬ 
ing hog cholera serum at the state plant at Athens, Ga. Many 
questions were asked about the technique of this process. 
Dr. Jago next gave a talk on the treatment of ordinary colics. 
As usual this subject brought out an extreme and lively discus¬ 
sion on the part of all veterinarians present. 
The Georgia veterinarians took in five new members and the 
Alabama association admitted seven new members. Following 
this the association adjourned and a polyclinic was held at the 
operating pavilion of the College of Veterinary Medicine. There 
were twenty-five cases present at the clinic.
