SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
THE NEW JERSEY STATE VETERINARY SOCIETY. 
The New Jersey State Veterinary Society held a fairly well attended meeting 
at the Continental Hotel, Newark, N. J., at 2:30 p. m., on Thursday, May 16th, 
1889. 
It was decided to hold but two meetings each year, one on the first Thursday 
in August, and one on the first Thursday in November. 
Dr. A. F. Sellers of Camden, and Dr. E. A. Vreeland, of Jersey City, both 
graduates of the American Veterinary College, were elected as members. 
Dr. James McCaffrey, Dr. J. Hopkins, and Dr. W. Dimond, were proposed 
for membership, and were referred to the Board of Censors. 
Dr. J. Nagler read a paper on “ Specific Medication versus Polypharmacy,” 
which was very instructive, and Dr. W. H. Lowe gave some interesting facts re¬ 
garding the law which has been passed by the Legislature last March. Both 
received a vote of thanks. 
The next meeting will be held in New Brunswick, and it being the annual 
meeting, new officers are to be elected. A banquet will follow the meeting.

disease got spread by the chronic or so-called recovered cases. The discussion 
was unusually lively and beneficial.
