Dr. Plaskett came next, with a paper on “ Trismus in 
Horses,” * a disease which does not appear to be described in 
the text books on veterinary literature. It is quite prevalent 
throughout the South, and in the discussion which followed 
every member had something to say on the subject in some of 
its aspects. i i i • 
Dr. Fenimore followed, with an informal talk on the subject 
of “ Vilde und Rinderseiiche.” He described an outbreak 
which had occurred on the State Farm at Knoxville, and the 
difficulty which had been experienced in properly diagnosing 
it. He described the symptoms, attempts at treatment, etc., 
and for fuller information referred the members to the paper 
which he had prepared, and which was read at the annual meet¬ 
ing of the National Association.

H. D. Fenimore ; Phrst Vice-President, Dr. T. W. Scott; Second 
Vice-President, Dr. R. E. Collins; Treasurer, Dr. G. B. Black¬ 
man ; Secretary, Dr. Jos. Plaskett.
