He administered two successive cathartics, without producing any 
more marked symptoms of glanders. At the present time the

Hr. Michener presented the stomach of a horse, twelve years 
old, which had been in the stable of the Green-Car Co. for the

After the appointments of various committees, Dr. Cattanact 
was appointed essayist for the next meeting. 
Motion to adjourn was then carried.
