locality, and have circulated extensively, from community to com¬ 
munity, and city to city ; now favoring New York, then changing 
to Cincinnati; thence to Philadelphia ; meeting again in Baltimore 
and now giving Boston a turn, where the last meeting was held, 
on the usual day and at the usual hour; but by some extraordi¬ 
nary change made at the very hour appointed for the meeting of 
the Comitia Minora. Our compliments are surely due for that, 
and also for the manner in which the entire affair was conducted. 
It was a good meeting, with a fair representation, New York 
City, however, being conspicuous by her almost complete lack of 
representatives, four only being present. Amongst sundry items 
of business of a private character, promotive of the welfare of

A valuable paper on Tuberculosis was read by I)r. Winches¬ 
ter, which was followed by some discussion. There was also an 
answer to Dr. Salmon’s views on the subject of mediate contagion, 
by Dr. Gadsden, which was read by the Secretary, and a paper on 
“ Recording Clinical Observations,” by Dr. A. Liautard, read by 
the author. 
The meeting adjourned in order to destroy a splendid supper, 
in which duty they labored without abatement until railroad time
