escort the newly elected President to the chair and thanked the 
Association for having conferred upon him the honor to preside 
over the organization of this society, the first of its kind in our 
State. 
Dr. Miller on taking the chair addressed the Association with 
a few appropriate remarks and thanked the members for the honor 
of having been elected their first President. 
After these few remarks the Association proceeded to business 
and Dr. Corlies arose to a question of privilege, which was granted. 
He severely censured the State Board of Health of New Jersey 
for improperly conducting the stamping out of contagious pleuro¬ 
pneumonia, accused them of employing incompetent persons to 
act as their agents, and of illegally collecting fees for services 
rendered by their agents, condemned their method of inoculation, 
etc. Dr. Corlies then introduced a resolution to that effect, re¬ 
questing the Association to act upon it, and to endorse or reject it 
as they saw fit. 
After considerable discussion it was moved that a committee 
of three be appointed by the Chair to carefully consider Dr. Cor- 
lies’s communication and resolution and report at the next meet¬

The Chair appointed Drs. Dixon, Rogers and Rowland as a 
committee to consider the above communication and report. 
President Doctor Miller appointed Drs. Rogers and Rowland 
essayists for the next regular meeting. 
The next regular meeting will be held at Atlantic City, Au¬ 
gust 14, 1884.
