THE LANCASHIRE VETERINARY MEDICAL 
ASSOCIATION. 
The usual Quarterly Meeting of the above Association was held 
at the Trevelyan Hotel, Manchester, on March 10th, 1869. 
The President, A. L. Gibson, Esq., in the cliair. 
There were also present the following gentlemen, viz. Messrs. 
John Lawson, Manchester; Jas. Howell, Rochdale; J. Taylor, 
Manchester; Geo. Morgan, Liverpool; S. Cox, Knutsford, Nottage; 
James Brookes, Pilkington ; Wm. \Voods, Wigan; Wm. Whittle, 
Worsley; Wm. Haycock, Manchester; Thos. Greaves, Alanchester; 
P. Taylor, Manchester; Joseph Carter, Bradford ; and A. J. Owles, 
6th Enniskillen Dragoons, 
Letters were read from Mrs. Brown, thanking the members for 
their letter of condolence on the death of the late Mr. George 
Brown, and from Mr. Jas. Taylor, apologising for his unwilling 
absence from the meeting. Also one from Mr. Wm. Heaps, of 
Preston, announcing his resignation of membership. 
The minutes of last meeting having been read and approved, it 
w^as proposed by Mr. Greaves, and duly seconded, that Mr. Wm. 
Heaps’ resignation be accepted on payment of the annual fees. 
Carried unanimously. 
It transpired that there was an entire misconception with regard 
to a supposed promise on the part of Mr. Brookes to read two 
papers, he having merely undertaken to relate a case or two, hand 
jprcemeditatus. He gave a graphic and interesting account of a 
case of ulcerated stomach, and also of another case which had come 
under his observation of a somewhat extraordinary nature. A very 
animated discussion ensued, in which most of the gentlemen present 
joined. Mr. Owles related a singular case of ulceration of intestines 
which he had met with when in India. 
Mr. Haycock alluded to the use of tincture of iron in cases of 
heemorrhage, such as bleeding from the palatine artery, which w^as 
sometimes caused by blacksmiths cutting the roof of the mouth. 
He explained its specific action. 
Votes of thanks to the President for the eflacient and amiable 
discharge of his functions, and to Mr. Brookes for his able contri* 
butions, brought the proceedings to a close. 
By order.
