SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
UNITED STATES V. M. ASSOCIATION. 
As the arrangements for the Omaha meeting near comple¬ 
tion it becomes more and more evident that an exceptionally 
interesting programme is being prepared for those who are so 
fortunate as to attend. In fact, it would seem that no member 
of this association or veterinarian practitioner within reach of 
Omaha can well afford to miss this meeting. 
In addition to the regular programme, such as reports of 
committees, with papers and discussions, additional features of 
much interest have been added. 
Practitioners must certainly look forward to the clinical 
demonstrations of several major operations with increasing 
interest, and all who are interested in municipal or local meat 
inspection, cannot but realize that the discussion of this subject 
from its several standpoints by members of the profession who 
have given much study to this subject, and to which will be 
added an extensive and varied display of the tissues of diseased 
animals, affords an unusual opportunity for becoming acquain¬ 
ted with the various details of information so important to one 
who may be called upon to perform the duties of meat in¬ 
spector. 
The arrangements made by the local committee for the en¬ 
tertainment of all who attend, insures that their personal com¬ 
forts will be looked after, and everything will be done to make 
everybody have a good time. 
The following is an outline of the programme, which will be 
followed as closely as possible:
