SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
Dr. Anderson reported having seen a man make applications 
of some medicine to a splint on Saturday and Sunday, and by 
Tuesday the splint was gone. He was now watching the treat¬ 
ment on a bone spavin. 
Many were the interesting cases described and discussed, 
until it was quite late, when Vice-President Fair appointed Drs. 
Jones, Howe and Bretz, to audit the books of the association, 
after which the meeting adjourned until the next morning at 
io A.M.

Letters were now read, one from the wife of President N. E. 
Wight, stating that the doctor was sick in bed ; another from 
Dr. Geo. Butler, disabled by severe injuries. The Secretary was 
instructed to send each the regrets and best wishes of the asso¬ 
ciation. 
Vice-President Fair now called Dr. Hillock to the chair, 
after which he read a most excellent paper, reporting several 
interesting cases of fracture, melanosis, purpura, and spinal men¬ 
ingitis. 
Dr. Neil Jones opened discussion by stating that his prog¬ 
nosis of cow fracture has always been doubtful, as he, until very 
lately, had never seen a case recover, but within three months 
he had seen a compound comminuted fracture in a cow, where 
the bone projected six inches, recover, and also a compound 
fracture of the radius in a horse also get well. So that from now 
.on his prognosis would be guarded. 
Almost every member took occasion to discuss the paper,
