VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION OF NEW JERSEY. 
The twenty-ninth regular meeting of the Veterinary Med¬ 
ical Association of New Jersey, was held at Davis parlors, 943 
Broad St., Newark, N. J., on Aug. 10th, 1893. 
The meeting was called to order by the President, Dr. J. 
Gerth, Jr., at 10 o’clock A. M., sixteen members present. 
After the regular business of the Association was com¬ 
pleted, Dr. Geo. A. Banham, F.R.C.V.S., of Cambridge, 
England, gave an interesting talk on the methods of shoeing 
horses in England and in this country. He also spoke of the 
very bad roads here, and said that the smallest country town 
in England had better roads than our large towns. Dr. Rob¬ 
ert Ward, of Baltimore, Md., also spoke on shoeing and the 
economy of the foot, and afterwards delivered an address on 
diseased cattle and meat. He told of some of his experience 
in trying to destroy diseased meat, but under the existing law 
it is almost impossible to do so. After the doctor’s address 
the meeting adjourned for dinner. 
The afternoon session was a general discussion of the sub¬ 
jects presented by the speakers at the morning session, the 
time being fully occupied, as the subjects were those in which 
all were interested. 
The Association elected Dr. W. B. E. Miller, of Camden, 
N. J., as a delegate to the first International Veterinary Con¬ 
gress of America, to be held at Chicago, Oct. 16-20, 1893. 
A vote ol thanks was tendered to Drs. Banham and Ward 
for their kindness in adding so much to the enjoyment of the 
members present, by their addresses.
