visit was to ascertain the sanitary condition of the farm. Certain publications 
had been made by a human practitioner, Dr. C. R. Early, of Ridgway, Elk Co., 
Pa., taking Drs. Miller and Dyer to task for an alleged want of professional 
knowledge, and as to their performance, or rather what he regards as the non-per- 
forraance of certain duties in representing the State Board of Health. After 
making examinations the Association sustained the views and actions of Drs. 
Miller and Dyer. A committee consisting of Drs. Hawk, Smith and Pierce, 
were appointed to draft resolutions. They presented the following, which were 
adopted and signed by all of the members present: 
We, the special committee appointed by the Veterinary Medical Assaciatiou 
of New Jersey, in session here this day, to draft suitable resolutions condemning 
the grossly outrageous article published in the Sanitarian , written by C. L. Early, 
a physician residing at Ridgway, Elk Co., Pa., in which he attacks unjustly Drs. 
W. B. E. Miller and C. K. Dyer, do present the following: 
Resolved, that we, as a veterinary association, do condemn the article as pub¬ 
lished, as a malicious falsehood on these gentlemen, whose ability and standing 
in the profession is well known to all of us; and we endorse the action of Drs. 
Miller and Dyer iu their treatment of the herd at Mr. Feenfer’s, at Pavonia. 
Resolved, that the Association, having in a body visited the herd of cattle and 
premises of Mr. Feenfer, testify that they found them to be in a first-class condi¬ 
tion ; that the sanitary and veterinary arrangements were good. 
Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be published in the Camden papers, 
and that one be sent to the Sanitarian. 
Dr. Rogers, of Westville, read a paper vindicating Drs. Miller and Dyer. 
Dr. Lowe paid a tribute to the late Dr. Weeks, of Paterson, before introduc¬ 
ing the following resolutions, which were passed, and ordered entered upon the 
minutes. 
Whereas, the late Dr. Arthur P. Weeks was a worthy member of our Asso¬ 
ciation, therefore be it 
Resolved , that we express our sincere sorrow for the loss of so true a friend of 
veterinary science, and that we unite in deep sympathy with his relatives in their 
affliction. 
Resolved, that the death of our friend at the age of twenty-seven years, and 
especially as his young life gave promise of a highly useful and honorable career, 
causes us to feel all the more deeply the present bereavement. 
Resolved, that these expressions of our sorrow and sympathy be recorded in 
the minutes of our Association, and that a copy of the same be forwarded to his 
family. 
During the second session quite a number of interesting cases were related, 
and views interchanged on the same. 
Dr. Dyer moved that the Secretary be appointed a committee of one, with 
power, to take charge of such printing as may be necessary, including the new 
Constitution and By-Laws, stationary and certificates of membership. It was so 
ordered. 
The Association adjourned to meet in Morristown, the second Thursday of 
next April,
