MAINE VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. 
The regular meeting of this association was held at the Elm¬ 
wood House, Waterville, Oct. 13, at 7.30 p. m.. President West 
in the chair. 
Present: Drs. West, Stevens, Joly, Purcell, Freeman, Rus¬ 
sell, and Salley. 
The minutes of the previous meeting were read and ac¬ 
cepted. 
The matter of the passage of a veterinary registration bill 
was discussed. It was decided to make a strong effort to have 
a bill passed this winter. 
On motion of Dr. Stevens, seconded by Dr. Purcell, it was 
voted to instruct the Secretary to send a circular letter to the 
quacks practicing in the State, together with a copy of the pro¬ 
posed bill. It is believed that if the quacks understand the 
nature of the bill they will aid instead of opposing its passage. 
Dr. Stevens read a paper upon “ Puerperal Septicaemia,”* 
which brought forth a spirited discussion. 
Voted to adjourn to meet at Augusta in January.
