SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
505 
By special permission of the association, at the request of 
many members, although the time was short, and the hour as¬ 
signed it had passed, Dr. Leonard Pearson read his paper, “The 
Suppression of Tuberculosis in Pennsylvania,” the discussion 
upon which was postponed until 1900. 
A number of papers were then read by title, and ordered 
printed in the “ Proceedings,” much regret being expressed that 
time would not permit their reading and discussion. Especially 
was this the case with Dr. Schwarzkopf’s paper, which had 
been prepared at the request of members, and had involved 
much correspondence, as it was largely statistical, and upon a 
subject of absorbing practical interest. The papers thus treated 
were : “ The Schmidt Treatment of Parturient Paresis,” by Dr. 
Olof Schwarzkopf ; u The Tick in North Carolina,” by Dr. 
Cooper Curtice ; “ Rheumatism in Domestic Animals,” by Dr. 
Herman Wellner ; “ Chicken Cholera,” by Dr. Charles H. Hig¬ 
gins ; “ Control of Glanders in Massachusetts,” by Dr. Maurice 
O’Connell; “ State Control of Glanders in Minnesota,” by Dr. 
M. H. Reynolds ; u On the Importance of Keeping a Case Book 
and Reporting Cases,” by Dr. Jno. J. Repp; “Tetanus Anti¬ 
toxin,” by Dr. Edward M. Ranck ; “Antitoxins,” by Dr. H. D. 
Gill ; and “ Some Aspects of Future Veterinary Legislation,” 
by Dr. W. Horace Hoskins. 
The Auditing Committee reported that they had examined 
the accounts of the association and found them correct. 
The Committee on Resolutions then presented a number of 
resolutions, and they were all adopted. They were upon the 
deaths of Drs. Treacy and Michener, upon tuberculosis and 
rabies, thanking the local committee and managers of the 
American Horse Exchange for favors and courtesies. 
On Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons 
THE PATHOLOGICAL EXHIBIT 
at Eastman’s Abattoirs, Fifty-ninth Street and Eleventh Avenue, 
was visited, and all agreed that it was a stupendous illustration 
of diseased tissues as found in the great slaughter-beds of the 
country. Hours and days could have been spent among the 
vast collection, and many of the visitors collected sections from 
the specimens for the purpose of microscopical examination. 
The following is a complete list of the specimens in the ex¬ 
hibit : 
(1) Steer, tuberculosis, heart ; (2) cow, tuberculosis, lungs and part 
of thorax ; (3) sow, tuberculosis, lungs and heart; (4) cow, tuberculo¬ 
sis, tibia; (5) hog, tubercular arthritis ; (6) hog, tuberculosis, lung and
