IOWA STATE VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. 
We regret to hear that Dr. John E. Brown, for the past nine 
years Secretary of this excellent association, has been obliged 
to tender his resignation, and has removed to Chattanooga, 
Tenn., on account of ill health of his family. Dr. Brown has 
been an earnest and unselfish worker in behalf of the associa¬ 
tion, whose interests were very dear to him. The Iowans, 
however, have been singularly fortunate in being able at once 
to fill the vacant Secretaryship by so able and representative a 
man as Dr. John J. Repp, of the Iowa Agricultural College, 
Ames, and we cordially congratulate them. 
The next meeting of the association occurs the latter part of 
this month.
