SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
tion for the qualified veterinarians of the State. The commit¬ 
tee in charge had met with little encouragement, and it was 
evident that much time must elapse, and much hard work be 
done before any results could be hoped for. 
There were no new applications for membership, as no new 
veterinarians had moved into the State since the last meeting. 
The Secretary read a letter from Dr. Fenimore, of Knoxville, 
who had been President of the Association during the last year, 
in which he tendered his resignation as a member of the Asso¬ 
ciation. It was moved and carried that the resignation be 
accepted. 
Before the reading of the papers various matters pertaining 
to the veterinary profession throughout the State were discussed 
in an informal manner, and many points of interest and mutual 
benefit were thus brought out. 
Dr. Scott then read his paper on “ Some Diseases of the 
Horse’s Foot from a Shoeing Standpoint.” He handled his 
subject in a capable manner, and his remarks were based on 
sound, practical sense, aided by a wide experience derived from 
the management of a large shoeing forge. The paper was freely 
discussed, every member present taking part. 
He was followed by Dr. Bird, with a paper on “ Sanitary 
Science and Prevention.” Dr. Bird touched briefly on the 
prophylactic measures necessary in order to stop outbreaks of 
certain diseases, dealing specially with the vaccination of ani¬ 
mals for the prevention of authrax and black-leg. The detec¬ 
tion of tuberculosis and glanders was also commented on, and 
the entire subject was discussed in a manner that showed the 
essayist to be a progressive and scientific veterinarian. 
A vote of thanks was tendered to Drs. Scott and Bird, for 
their excellent papers. 
The election of officers for the ensuing year resulted as 
follows : President, Dr. Scott; First Vice-President, Dr. White; 
Second Vice-President, Dr. Blackman. Dr. Plaskett was re¬ 
elected Secretary and Treasurer. 
The time and place of the next meeting was left to the 
Executive Committee. 
There being no other business the meeting adjourned.
