associate, J. C. Meyers, Sr., the oldest member of our association and 
a member since our organization, and 
Whereas, By the death of Dr. Meyer the veterinary profession has 
lost an honorable servant, who was always alive to its best interests, 
and the Ohio State Veterinary Medical Association a faithful member, 
whose counsels and general presence will be missed from its sessions, 
but whose memory will be kept in our thoughts. Therefore, be it 
Resolved , That we sincerely mourn his loss as a friend and as a veteri¬ 
narian, and that we extend to the bereaved wife and family our honest 
sorrow and condolence, knowing that while resolutions can in no way 
mitigate sorrow, they may offer consolation ; and 
Resolved , That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family, 
and spread upon the minutes of this association.

Whereas, The Supreme Ruler of the Universe has removed by 
death our esteemed fellow veterinarian, Dr. J. W. Wilson, of Uondon, 
Ont., who for many years has officiated as one of the board of exami¬ 
ners of the Ontario Veterinary College. Therefore, be it 
Resolved , That in the death of Dr. Wilson the profession loses one of 
its earnest active members, whose safe and conservative counsel and 
sterling manly qualities were well known and appreciated by his associ¬ 
ates ; and his death has caused a vacancy hard to fill; and 
Resolved , That to the family we extend our heartfelt sympathy in 
this their irreparable loss, and direct our Secretary to forward a copy of 
these resolutions to them ; and spread the same as part of the records of 
this association. 
T. B. Hillock, 
H. Fulstow, 
W. A. Uabron, Committee. 
The meeting now resolved itself into a general discussion of 
reporting cases, etc., such as Schmidt’s treatment of parturient 
apoplexy, sanitary inspection, false dourine, azoturia, etc. In 
this latter, the discussion was most odd, some members saying 
they dreaded to be called, as nearly all such patients died, 
while others using the same general line of treatment rarely 
lost a case. Such is life. 
vote of thanks was tendered the proprietor of the Lima 
House for the kindly use of the elegant suite of rooms and other 
courtesies, and a vote of thanks to Dr. Blattenburg for his hos¬ 
pitality, after which the association adjourned to meet in annual 
session during January, 1900; but before leaving the city the 
members met at the stable of Dr. Blattenburg, and witnessed 
some actual operations, such as removal of part of tail, median 
tenotomy, operation to relieve crooked tail, etc. 
W. H. Gribble, Secretary.
