The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. 
Dr. W. H. Pendry, Secretary of the New York State Veterinary Society, was 
present. Dr. W. Runge, of Newark, was also present as a visitor. 
The Secretary received a letter from Prof. Liautard, Dean of the American 
Veterinary College, expressing his desire and intention to be present at the meet¬ 
ing, but his absence was accounted for by the pressure of duties which necessarily 
demanded his time on his return from his recent sojourn in Europe. 
A telegram was received from Dr. Chas. T. Goentner, Secretary of the Key¬ 
stone Veterinary Medical Association, expressing his inability to attend. 
According to Senator Fish’s advice and instructions the Certificate of Incor¬ 
poration has been duly recorded at Trenton, therefore the Veterinary Medical 
Association, of New Jersey has become legally incorporated. 
The Chair requested the Committee upon the Constitution and" By-Laws to 
report. 
Dr, Lowe, on behalf of the committee, stated that the new Constitution and 
By-Laws were in course of preparation, but as Dr. Gertli had been traveling in 
the West it had been impossible for them to meet in time to complete the same. 
The reports of the Secretary and Treasurer were received. 
Dr. Dustan related, at some length, his experience with Rheumatic Influenza, 
stating that twenty-two cases had come under his observation during the present 
year. Considerable discussion followed Dr. Dustan’s statements, which were pat 
ticipated in by many of the members. Dr. Lowe spoke of two cases of so-called 
Rheumatic Influenza, and gave some points of differentiation.
