very hot; lie applied ice water to the head when he feared con¬ 
gestion of the brain ; and, in reply to Dr. Michener, said he did 
not think that injections of ice water would have been of service 
in the cases he had treated. 
Dr. Liautard said he thought the Society would have to con¬ 
sider the paper one asking for information more than giving any. 
The questions asked by the essayist ought to be answered by the 
chair, if not by individual members. Some were somewhat diffi¬ 
cult to reply to, but he thought that if he would procure a copy of 
the revised edition of Stonehenge, which was published about 14 
years ago, in which Dr. Large took the question up, with another, 
at considerable length, he would find much valuable information. 
In reference to the cold water treatment he had seen it applied 
all over the body with very great benefit. He could not see 
why laminitis should not follow sunstroke; he thought it could. 
A vote of thanks was extended Dr. Cliarum for his paper. 
Application for membership was received from Dr. W G. 
Hollingsworth, which was referred to the Board of Censors. 
Under the head of unfinished business, the secretary reminded 
the meeting of the question of the proposed legislative bill, which 
had been laid over for consideration. 
Dr. L. McLean said he did not consider the veterinary pro¬ 
fession was ripe to advocate any legislative bill, or in a position 
to oppose empiricism, and would move that the question of legis¬ 
lative law be dropped. 
Dr. Pendry considered the veterinary profession was never 
in a better state to advocate legislative law than at the present 
moment; the motion and remarks of Dr. L. McLean were not fair 
to the profession, nor to the gentleman who had drafted the pro¬ 
posed bill, and, in his absence, he would move that the subject 
of legislation be not dropped, but be made a special order of 
business for the next meeting. The motion being seconded by 
Dr. Coates, and there being no seconder to that of Dr. L. McLean, 
it was put to the meeting and carried. 
There being no further business before the meeting, and the 
chair having appointed Dr. Dixon essayist for the following 
meeting, a motion to adjourn was carried.
