Treasurer—U. S. G. Bieber. 
Secretary—W. G. Huyett. 
Only one secretary being made, Dr. Huyett, the incumbent, 
generally performing the work of both offices in the past, now 
acting as corresponding and recording secretary. 
Trustees—O. G. Noack, D. R. Kohler, J. O. Feustermacher. 
There being no opposition to any of the nominees the secre¬ 
tary was instructed to cast the ballot, and they were declared 
elected. 
Under new business, Dr. Dunkelberger reported a man who, 
in his estimation, was practicing veterinary medicine illegally. 
It was moved and carried that the man’s case be thoroughly in¬ 
vestigated and reported to the secretary by the complainant and 
the secretary instruct the secretary of the Examining Board 
thereupon. 
A paper on “ Pin Worms and Eczema ” was read by Dr. 
Dunkelberger, this having been a recent case, and the peculiarity 
of the case was interesting reading. 
Dr. Noack's paper upon “ Some Effective Methods of Con¬ 
trolling Tuberculosis in Cattle ” was well received. He referred 
to the Bang and Ostertag methods followed in various countries, 
Denmark being the first country to endeavor to control the dis¬ 
ease with the Bang system, and succeeded fairly well, as that coun¬ 
try is one of the most prosperous to-day—dairying being their 
chief industry. The Ostertag method, used in Germany and 
some other countries, by only removing advanced cases from a 
herd as they appear, does not prove effectual, as we can never 
eliminate and detect all the cases of a herd. 
In the United States these various methods have also been 
tried. Massachusetts haci for some time pursued the method in¬ 
augurated by Belgium in killing all reactors, until they were 
obliged to end with the slaughtering for want of funds to pay all 
such reactors, and the ravages of the disease would go on as 
before. 
It was suggested that all reactors in a state, for instance, as 
they appear should be secured by the state and placed at various 
state institutions, which are receiving annual appropriations, and 
these cattle held under the Bang system, having them all strictly 
isolated from all other cattle, attendants and all pasteurizing the 
milk thus obtaining products in this manner, and these animals 
may safely be also bred. 
These various methods were further discussed, with the con¬ 
clusion that no satisfactory method had yet been attained in
