SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
subject of “ Azoturia, its Pathology and Treatment,” with many 
new thoughts upon this mysterious malady. 
Dr. Jno. M. Parker, who was in Scotland, sent over his 
paper on “ Rabies,” which by his request was read by Dr. J. F. 
Winchester. It received a liberal discussion at the hands of 
Drs. Salmon, Turner, Mayo, White, Cary, Robinson, Rowe, and 
Ploskins, the last named contending for the practical non-exist¬ 
ence of the disease, its frequent diagnosis being dependent upon 
error. We wonder what disease it is that presents such con¬ 
stant symptoms, is easily produced by inoculation, and which 
every one errs so much upon. 
At this point Chancellor McCracken, of the New York Uni¬ 
versity (with which the New York College of Veterinary Sur¬ 
geons and the American Veterinary College have so recently 
affiliated), was recognized in the audience and was invited to a 
seat on the platform. He was seeking information upQii veter¬ 
inary science, and he could not have entered at a more oppor¬ 
tune moment, for as he became seated upon President Clement’s 
right, Dr. N. S. Mayo, of Connecticut, delivered a most scholarly 
address upon the subject of u The Veterinarian of the Future,” 
and was followed by Dr. James B. Paige, of Massachusetts, upon 
u European Veterinary Institutions,” illustrating his subject by 
numerous photographs taken by him while making a tour of 
the Continent. 
Dr. Charles A. Cary, of Alabama, presented u Ulceration of 
the Stomach in Equities,” in a manner that riveted general at¬ 
tention. 
The Executive Committee submitted a recommendation 
that the Chair appoint a committee of three to confer with the 
board which meets in Washington in 1900 for the purpose of 
revising the United States Pharmacopoeia with the object of 
securing an appendix to include American veterinary medicines, 
fashioned after the supplement to the French Codex. The 
recommendation was adopted, and the Chair stated that he 
would appoint Dr. W. J. Martin, of Kankakee, Ill., chairman, 
and Drs. Roscoe R. Bell, of New York, and R. A. Merillat, of 
Illinois. 
Dr. C. C. McRean, of Pennsylvania, next offered a paper on 
“ Dairying from a Pure Milk Standpoint,” illustrating his sub¬ 
ject with many demonstrations and tests for purity. The sub¬ 
ject engrossed the attention of very many who are specially 
interested in milk inspection, and the doctor was plied with 
questions concerning his conclusions.
