SOCIETY MEETINGS.

inarians of Indiana should fully waken to their opportunities 
and responsibilities in this, which will doubtless prove the 
most important veterinary meeting so far held in America. 
He detailed the many courtesies extended to visiting veterin¬ 
arians at Boston last September, and suggested that equally 
good entertainment should be provided at Chicago for all 
attending veterinarians. 
On motion of Dr. Thompson, the President appointed 
Drs. Boor, Stull and Balser a committee to confer and act

A. Balser; Trustees, A. J. Thompson, T. B. Pote, O. L. 
Boor, M. Y. Schaffer, J. W. Watson.

pleasure of observing hurriedly the various departments in 
active work. The members then proceeded to Dr. Bell’s in¬ 
firmary, where Dr. Balser demonstrated in a neat manner 
the method of castrating cryptorchid horses, after which the 
meeting was called to order at the New Clinton House, and 
an interesting paper presented by Dr. Honan, on “ Inversion 
of the Uterus,” which was followed by a. spirited discussion, en¬ 
gaged in generally by members present, the discussion turning 
largely upon the question of the necessity of retaining-sutures, 
truss or pessary after replacement, the general opinion seem¬ 
ing to be that they were at least useless in most cases, espec-
