SOCIETY MEETINGS.

were particularly typified by the exhibit of carcass and visceral 
organs, to wit: ictero-hsematuria and lymph-adenitis. Much 
general interest was manifest in a collection of miscellaneous 
diseases of organs and parts, showing a variety of the diseases 
of the kidney, liver, spleen, etc., being particularly instructive 
in the line of parasitic invasion ; such as the worms found 
in oesophagus, stomach, liver, intestines and region of the 
kidneys. 
The association extended an invitation to the physicians 
and medical students of the city to inspect the exhibit, and 
were gratified with the very large number who availed them¬ 
selves of this privilege. Dr. Richardson and his co-laborers 
were congratulated upon all sides upon the excellence of the 
exhibit for the visiting veterinarians and others. In passing, it 
might be well to note that tiie Packing Company seemed greatly 
interested in doing their part toward making the exhibit, and 
to show to the public that they were proud of the fact that all 
diseased meats were being separated from the wholesome, in 
their establishment, and that products only wholesome were be¬ 
ing offered to the public for consumption. 
After examining the pathological exhibit the veterinarians 
visited the extensive Cattle Show, then in progress at the Stock 
Yards, and saw a large and attractive display of the beef breeds. 
They also had an opportunity to observe the method^ of judg¬ 
ing same. 
At 8 p. m. the association went in a body to the Horse 
Show, which was being held at Kansas City’s famous Conven¬ 
tion Hall, and it is needless to say they were especially inter¬ 
ested in this part of the day’s entertainment. 
Thursday , Oct. 24th .—Meeting called to order at 9 A. m. by 
the President, Dr. A. T. Peters. Owing to the absence of the 
Secretary, Dr. W. Ross Cooper, Dr. S. Stewart was elected pro 
te7n. There being no business before the association, the meet¬ 
ing proceeded to the presentation and discussion of papers. The 
first paper presented was one entitled the “ Value of Post mor¬ 
tem Examinations,” by Dr. E. M. Nighbert, which elicited free 
discussion. This was followed by a paper by Dr. A. T. Peters on 
the subject of “Sorghum Poisoning,” which led to a long and 
instructive discussion by all present, not only on sorghum poi¬ 
soning, but also poisoning by other forage. Drs. Plummer and 
Hunter described some interesting cases seen in the Philippines, 
and numerous reports of cases were made by others present. 
A resolution was presented and adopted, inviting the Atneri-
