lates the practice of medicine. On motion by Dr. Rodgers the Association 
endorsed the bill. 
Dr. Glass recommended that at each meeting the President appoint some 
member to report a case that occurred under his notice during the month, with 
remarks. On motion of Dr. Zuill, it was carried. 
Dr. Rodgers extended an invitation upon the part of the New Jersey State 
Veterinary Medical Association, for the members of this Association to attend their 
quarterly meeting to be held at the American House, Trenton, on December 10th,

A discussion followed that was both interesting and instructive. Dr. Huide- 
koper suggested that the paper read by Dr. Rodgers be published as a bulletin 
from this Association. On motion a committee was appointed to confer with Dr. 
Rodgers as to the publication of his paper as a bulletin of the Keystone Veterinary 
Medical Association. 
Dr. Glass was appointed by the President to report a case at the next meeting.
