One fibroid tumor on the elbow of a mule was removed by 
Dr. C. A. Cary after the animal was placed on Conkeys Sim¬ 
plicity operating table. A melanotic tumor was removed from 
the croup of a gray horse, the horse remaining in a standing posi¬ 
tion confined by hobble and twitch by Dr. Cary. Another case 
of fibroid tumor was removed from the abdomen of a mule by 
Dr. Carv. 
In nearly all cases a diagnosis was made by at least three 
veterinarians and their opinions given before any operation or 
decision was made upon the line of treatment. 
Several other cases of lameness, some obscure and difficult to 
diagnose, were present at the clinic. In fact, the clinic started at 
io o’clock in the morning and was continued until about five in 
the evening. It was considered by all one of the most interest¬ 
ing things in connection with the Georgia-Alabama veterinary 
meeting.

Just as the clinic was closing a case of flatulent colic in a 
mule came in. This case was successfully treated by Dr. R. B. 
Nixon. He first gave her orum a dose of chloral, then tapped 
the colon; then gave arecoline.

SOCIATION. 
The nineteenth annual meeting of this association was held 
at the Board of Trade Rooms, Reading, Pa., June 19, 1912. The 
meeting was called to order by Dr. Geo. R. Fetherolf, the presi¬ 
dent being absent. 
The minutes of the previous sessions were read and approved. 
The attendance was good, most of the members longing for a 
day away from home and constant work. 
After the regular routine business, the following propositions 
for membership were received, namely: Drs. H. De Turk, Birds- 
boro, and J. O. Feustermacher, New Tripoli. These men were 
later duly elected as members of the association. 
The various members of the Committee on Meat and Milk In¬ 
spection reported briefly. The subject of “ Inspection Work ’* 
was thoroughly discussed. 
Election of officers: 
President—G. R. Fetherolf.
