SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
“Relation of Lymphatics to Meat Inspection,” by Dr. Tait 
Butler, Inspector in Bureau of Animal Industry. 
“Notes on the Tuberculin Test in Wisconsin,” by Dr. G. 
Ed Leech, Assistant State Veterinarian of Wisconsin. 
“ Antiseptic Therapeutics,” by Dr. J. F. Winchester, of 
Lawrence, Mass. 
“ Urinalysis in Veterinary Practice,” by Dr. Pierre A. Fish, 
Professor of Physiology, New York State Veterinary College. 
The titles to other papers will be announced in a short time. 
The clinic promises to be a strong feature of the Detroit 
meeting. Antiseptic surgery will be demonstrated as fully as 
possible, and it is expected the clinics will include operations 
on the head and mouth, and the tail, as well as the several 
classic operations on the limbs. 
Reduced rates have been granted by the railroads, and it 
now seems probable that a special excursion party can be ar¬ 
ranged to go by boat from Buffalo to Detroit, as suggested in 
the Review some months ago. This should prove an enjoyable 
arrangement for members East of that point. 
MISSOURI VALLEY VETERINARY ASSOCIATION. 
The twenty-third regular meeting was held in the Kansas 
City Veterinary College, Kansas City, Mo., on the evening of 
Feb. 19th, at 7.30. It was arranged to have a surgical clinic 
on the afternoon of the same day, but owing to the absence of 
subjects no clinic was held. 
Owing to the absence of the President, Dr. Forbes, the meet¬ 
ing was called to order by the Second Vice-President, Dr. Schaef¬ 
fer, with the following officers, members, and visitors present : 
Drs. Schaeffer, Wright, Moines, Washburn, Bennet, Kaupp, 
Cooper, Buckley, Saunders, Moore and Stewart, with Drs. Fal- 
setter and Knight (from Texas), George, Boise and Lawton, 
also Messrs. Lomax, Painter, Mahon, Lawrence, Starr, Kam- 
pochmidt, McFarland, Parker, Carswell, Burgett, Phillips, 
Moberly, Roach, Reber, Rice, Makins, Miller, Barnhart, Imtner- 
man, Crickett, Mooney, Biggs, and Halstead. 
The minutes of the previous meeting were read and ap¬ 
proved. The censors having reported favorably upon the ap¬ 
plication for membership of Albert Long, it was moved by Dr. 
Stewart that the rules be suspended and the Secretary instructed 
to cast the ballot for the association. Motion carried ; the 
Secretary cast the ballot for the association and the candidate 
was duly elected.
