ton, was  adopted :

pedient to  adopt  the  resolutions  presented  by  the  College  of  Physicians, — 
although  they  do  not  desire  to  prevent  any  individual  member  acting  on  the 
suggestions  of  the  resolution.

tical Association,  to  whom  was  referred  the  same  subject.  The  Association

be  allowed  the  Committee  to  draft  the  notice,  which  request  was  granted.
