SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
must have a sound body and mind. I have rejected several 
horses on that account. 
The next order of business being new business, it was 
moved by Dr. Nelson, seconded by Dr. Ryan that a reconsider¬ 
ation of the vote taken at the last meeting in regard to the ex¬ 
pulsion of Drs. Pierce and McGraw, be held, a standing vote 
being taken. On count it was ascertained that eleven members 
desired reconsideration, while five did not. The vote being 
two-thirds affirmative, a new vote on expulston will be held at 
the next regular meeting. Owing to a spirited discussion as to 
members voting who had not paid their dues, it was held by the 
President that a delinquent member could not vote. Motion for 
appeal was taken to this ruling by Dr. B. B. Quitman, seconded 
by Dr. Dubia. Voted and carried. The President stated that 
in making this ruling he was only living up to the by-laws of 
the society, as appears in Article IV, section i and 3, and that the 
appeal taken was not from the President but from the society’s- 
own by-laws. That unless these by-laws were lived up to and 
enforced by the members, that he should tender his resignation. 
This was followed by a withdrawal of Dr. Quitman’s motion by 
Dr. Quitman, with the hope that the seconder would also with¬ 
draw his second to the motion, which was not done. On mo¬ 
tion adjournment.
