on tuberculosis, covered all the essential features and in fact 
some of them were entirely new to foreign experts. Dr. Ra- 
venel thinks that this agitation will bring good results, for, al¬ 
though there is now a storm of protest it will also result in vast 
experimentation all over the world and thus end in some definite 
scientific conclusion. 
A vote of thanks was tendered Drs. Pearson and Ravenel 
by the Association for their well prepared and instructive ad¬ 
dresses. 
The next in order was a carefully prepared paper on u A 
Case of Tetanus, with Antitoxin Treatment” by Dr. B. M. 
Underhill, of Media. The doctor used antitoxin in large doses, 
which seemed to ameliorate the condition and the horse is evi¬ 
dently making a prompt recovery. This paper caused a great 
amount of discussion, which was entered into by Drs. Williams, 
Harger, Sellars, Ranck, Eves, Ridge, Goentner, Pearson, Mar¬ 
shall, Hoskins, Rhoades and others. The consensus of opinion 
favored tetanus antitoxin as a valuable prophylactic measure, 
but not always a reliable curative measure. 
Dr. Pearson then made a motion to have the President ap¬ 
point a committee to frame resolutions to be sent to Governor 
Stone favoring Dr. Hoskins’ re-appointment on the State Ex¬ 
amining Board. Carried. The committee appointed consisted 
of Drs. Goentner, Marshall and Ranck. The following com¬ 
mittees were appointed by President Rhoads : 
Committee on Milk .—W. H. Hoskins, Chairman; H. P. 
Eves, W. E. Rhoads, W. H. Ridge, Leonard Pearson.

After the announcement of the above committees the pro¬
