SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
The evening was well spent in discussing the subject of milk 
fever, with a report from State Veterinarian Bridge of the recent 
outbreak of Tuberculosis at Washington, Pa., and some remarks 
on the outbreak of Glanders at Wilkesbarre, Pa., after which Dr. 
Hoskins reported a series of statistics in regard to varying 
weights of horses under injuries and various diseased with the 
loss and gain measured from week to week. He reported that 
he found animals suffering with injuries of the foot lost most 
flesh, from six to seven pounds a day, and that he had an animal 
in his infirmary that had an injury to the spine that averaged a 
gain of five pounds a day, being very much emaciated when 
brought to him. 
Dr. Lintz reported a case that had colic which he was called 
to see ; found the animal under the influence of some poisonous 
drug, having symptoms of belladonna poison : Pupil dilated, 
mucous membranes very dry, pulse hardly perceptible, respira¬ 
tions very nearly stopped, and staggering. Injected pilocarpme; 
in ten minutes showed improvement; in half hour respiration 
and pulse increased, and in a little while became normal ; lived 
four days, then died ; neck became very much swoolen from an 
abscess, and died from blood poisoning. 
After some other business the meeting adjourned, to meet 
on the second Tuesday in February, at which meeting Drs. 
Bridge and Lintz will read papers.
