doll show to be given at Horticultural Hall in the interest of 
the Health Protective Hospital for contagions diseases and the 
Woman’s H. P. A., and asked if any one knew of a model or 
plans of a perfectly hygienic, sanitary slaughter-house. 
Dr. Pearson said he had a small plan of the abattoir in Co¬ 
penhagen, which was probably one of the best in the world. 
He thought this plan could be enlarged and made to answer 
very well. 
Dr. Hoskins said the committee expected to have a meeting 
with the County Medical Society, which they hoped would be 
productive of much good. 
application of A. W^. Dnshington, V.M.D., for member¬ 
ship was reported by the Secretary, which was now passed to 
the Board of Censors, upon which board Dr. Pearson appointed 
Dr. C. J. Marshall. The application being favorably recom¬ 
mended by the Censors, Dr. Dushington was duly elected an 
active member, and introduced by President Pearson. 
A communication from Dr. Harger, the essayist of the even- 
ing, saying it would be impossible for him to be present, was 
now read. 
Dr. Pearson called for reports of cases, which could not be 
made at last meeting for want of time. In response Dr. Hos¬ 
kins reported the case of a dog having been under treatment 
for four years, which came to his hospital in October. There 
was discharge from nostrils, loss of appetite, distressed breath¬ 
ing, enlargement of all glands, especially thyroid and inguinal, 
which were large as eggs, dropsical effusion along the thorax ; 
temperature 104 2-5°. The autopsy showed enlarged glands, 
liver pale, pulp of spleen enlarged and liquefied ; intestines 
anaemic. He had Dr. Formad examine some sections from 
glands, and from him received the following report of condi¬ 
tions found : “ Hypertrophy of lymphatic glands, lymphoma, 
often found with blood diseases ; lymphadenoma is a rare con¬ 
dition, but few cases on record. 
Dr. Pearson then spoke of a cat having pernicious leucaemia, 
and asked Dr. C. J. Marshall to tell what he knew of the case, 
he having had it in charge. The cat was first attended for skin 
trouble, which at times seemed to be responding to treatment, 
then would grow worse; the glands became enlarged ; some 
days they would be very large, next day might be nearly nor¬ 
mal. Hxamination of blood showed white corpuscles much en¬ 
larged. Tbe autopsy proved the case to be one seldom found, 
and but few similar are on record.
