methods, but the majority present seemed to favor chloroform for 
small animals, while for cattle and horses strychnia sulphate 
in sufficient doses intravenously seemed to be the best method. 
This topic is one of great interest, and should be discussed by 
other veterinary associations, so the profession throughout the 
country could be properly instructed. 
Dr. Kooker reported an interesting case of purpura hsemor- 
rhagica, which developed marked symptoms of azoturia, and, 
strange to say, is getting better, and a complete recovery seems 
certain. 
Dr. Hoskins, who was the Pennsylvania representative on 
the Committee of Arrangements for the last annual meeting of 
the A. V. M. A.., reported that he has a balance of $30 after all 
expenses had been paid, and asked what the members suggested. 
He stated that a certain member of the profession was in need 
of money, and, f>eing an invalid, had no earning capacity, and 
furthermore, this member had been for many years a very earn¬ 
est worker and active practitioner, so he suggested we donate to 
him one-half of the above sum. 
The Secretary suggested that probably the next in turn to 
be a beneficiary, who was also in urgent need of funds, was the 
Keystone Veterinary Medical Association, and upon the sug¬ 
gestion a motion was made and carried, that the remaining $15 
be donated to this association. 
Dr. Pearson offered the following resolution : 
Resolved , That the President of the Keystone Veterinary Medical 
Association is hereby authorized and requested to appoint a special com¬ 
mittee of five to investigate and report upon matters pertaining to the 
milk supply of Philadelphia as follows : (1) To what extent are the 
claims of Philadelphia milk dealers in respect to the sanitary and vet¬ 
erinary inspection justified ? (2) What precautions are used by man¬ 
agers of hospitals to procure pure and wholesome milk for the use of 
the persons under their care ? 
Interspersed with the above business the entertainment com¬ 
mittee, under the leadership of our President, Dr. Rhoads, fur¬ 
nished us with a delightful luncheon with the necessary addenda 
to make the meeting something more than a dry, dull, business 
affair. 
The Secretary announced the programme so far as could be 
determined at this time, after which we adjourned at 11 p. m.
