SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
953 
Prof. Pearson, Dean of the Veterinary Department of the Uni¬ 
versity of Pennsylvania, recently returned from a sojourn 
through Europe, where he has visited the famous laboratories 
of bacteriology and eleven veterinary schools, who, at the request 
of President Eowe, closed the discussion on tuberculosis. We 
need not tell those of you who have been fortunate enough to 
listen to Dr. Pearson that it was a literary treat ; and the fact 
of his recent visit abroad added to its interest. He also con¬ 
firmed the very interesting report of the chairman of the Public 
Health Committee, Dr. W. Runge, of Newark, who read a most 
interesting paper relating the details of his experiments in the 
transmission of tuberculosis from man to animals. The mem¬ 
ory of these papers and discussions and other good things, are a 
temptation to treat on the literary side, as well, but we have 
purposely avoided doing so, that Review readers may get it 
first handed, from the papers and from the accurate notes of 
Secretary Pope. R. W. E.

The meeting then adjourned to meet after luncheon. 
The President, Dr. H. S. Wende, opened the meeting after
