that error we will to-day rectify. We should be pleased to hear from any member his 
suggestions as to the collections of dues. Wm. H. Gribble, D.V.S., Secretary. 
Dr. W. R. Howe gave the particulars in reference to the 
arrest and conviction of a so-called veterinary surgeon, prose¬ 
cuted under the present veterinary law, and offered a resolution 
that was seconded by Dr. Hillock that Drs. Gribble and J. C. 
Meyer, Jr., be paid their actual expenses incurred in the pros¬

veterinary medicine in Ohio, and it seemed to be almost the un¬ 
animous opinion of those present that this association should

A motion was offered by Dr. Howe, seconded by Dr. S. D. 
Myers, that the President appoint a committee of three to pros¬ 
ecute some graduate, and so make a test case, and that the as¬ 
sociation pay the necessary expenses of such committee. After 
a little heated argument and con., the motion prevailed. Pres¬ 
ident Shepard appointed as the committee, Drs. W. R. Howe, 
S. D. Myers, and W. B. Wight. 
Dr. S. D. Myers now read an interesting report of an out¬ 
break of “ Parasitic Bronchitis ”* which occurred in his practice, 
and exhibited fresh specimens from the lungs of a lamb to illus¬ 
trate his remarks. One specimen especially contained an enor¬ 
mous number of the strongyli. At the close of the discussion of 
this paper, being near midnight, the Chair appointed Drs. B. W. 
Carl, W. K. Wight and S. D. Myers as an auditing committee, 
when the meeting adjourned until 8:30 A. m. 
Jan. 29, 1897.—Meeting called to order at 9:15 A. m.. Presi¬
