meeting with an address of welcome to the audience, and stated 
the object of the meeting. 
Charles H. Martin, D. V. S., then read a paper entitled 
“ Milk as a Factor in the Causation of Disease, ” and was fol¬ 
lowed by Prof. K. A. A. Grange, M. D., V. S., who made a very 
good address, entitled “ The Relation of Tuberculosis in 
Animals to Consumption in Man,” and certainly did justice to 
the subject. 
Dr. Rowland G. Freeman, M. D., then gave a very interest¬ 
ing address, entitled u The Importance of Expert Direction of 
Dairies for the Production of Clean and Safe Milk.” His ad¬ 
dress was illustrated by a large number of very interesting 
lantern slides, making a very novel feature of the evening. 
Prof. Charles A. Doremus, Ph. D., M. D., then came forward 
and looked after the good of the veterinarians and his former 
pupils with a grand, good address, entitled “ The Relation of 
the Veterinarian to Inspection of the Milk Supply.” 
The Hon. James Wood, of Mount Kisco, took up the subjects 
from the farmer’s standpoint, and certainly handled them to 
perfection, making an exceedingly good address. 
Prof. Edward F. Brush, M. D., then read a paper entitled 
“Tuberculosis and Tuberculin in the Dairy,” which concluded 
the program of the evening. Whereupon the speakers of 
the evening and the members of the society adjourned to the 
Hotel Wynnstay to partake of a lunch that had been prepared 
for the occasion. 
Upon the whole the meeting was a grand success, and the 
public as well as the veterinary profession will undoubtedly be 
benefitted by it in the near future. 
I regret that I am unable to send the verbatim speeches of 
the different speakers, as they were certainly very good and 
right to the point. W. B. Moorehouse, D.V.S., Secretary.

As arrangements are developing for the approaching meet¬ 
ing at Detroit the wisdom of the Executive Committee in 
selecting that city as the scene of the next great national 
gathering of veterinarians is becoming apparent to the most 
casual observer of the trend of events. The prospect for a large 
attendance is very flattering, since the veterinary associations 
of Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Ontario have resolved to take 
an active interest in and attend the meeting at Detroit. It also 
seems probable that large delegations will attend from other
