SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
161 
A paper was read by Dr. J. H. Gain, of Seward, Nebraska, 
in which the doctor discussed an operation in the treatment of 
impervious [?] urachus.* While this is a new departure in the 
treatment of this trouble, it seems that the doctor has certainly 
found a radical cure, which promises to do credit not only to its 
author, but to the entire profession as well. Many of the doc¬ 
tors present took part in the discussion of this interesting paper. 
On motion, the chair appointed Dr. Parstow, Dr. Gain and 
Dr. Leslie an auditing committee, which was requested to report 
at once. The committee reported that the Secretary and Treas¬ 
urer’s books were in harmony with his report, and recommended 
the same for acceptance, which was at once voted upon and 
carried. 
On motion, the meeting adjourned to meet at seven o’clock 
p. M. of the same day. 
At 7.45 p. M. the association was called to order by the 
President, and the following gentlemen were found present: 
Doctors J. E. Brown, J. J. Drasky, J. G. Parstow, H. E. Talbot, 
D. H. Miller, S. T. Miller, W. H. Austin, V. Shafer, M. V. 
Byers, W. A. Hammond, James Vincent, Ered Evans, J. H. 
Gain, T. White, Bostrom, Gibson, Young, McKim, Crosford, 
Everat, H. Dell and W. Thomas ; Messrs. Duff, of Chicago ; 
McIntosh, of the Nebraska Farmer ; Janak, editor of Hospadr; 
Adams, John M. Pattar, J. W. Haxby and S. L. Kostoryz, edi¬ 
tor of Osveta. 
Dr. Peters spoke on the subject of immunization of hogs 
against hog cholera. This speech was discussed by Doctors 
Vincent, Gibson, Young, Drasky, Brown, Thomas, Miller and 
Evans. 
It was moved, seconded and carried that the chair appoint 
a committee of six, with Dr. Brown as the chairman, to investi¬ 
gate and report on the subject of hog vaccination. 
Dr. Ramacciotti reported that the last year’s clinics had been 
a complete success, which was pleasing to the operators. 
A somewhat heated discussion arose among the doctors on 
the subject, “What I Saw in Omaha.” While this discussion 
took on an unpleasant aspect at times, yet it closed leaving the 
parties concerned on general good terms, and Dr. Drasky’s action 
was approved by all the doctors present. It was hoped that no 
unpleasant nor unfriendly relations existed after the discussion. 
The report of cases was taken up by Dr. Thomas. In his 
report on parturient apoplexy the doctor confirmed his opinion 
* Will be published in an early number of the Review.
