tially  autolyzed  pneumococci  and  pneumococcus  extracts  by  E.  C. 
Rosenow,  Chicago ;  anti-streptococcus  serum,  by  George  H.  Weaver, 
Chicago;  and  a  report  on  typhoid  vaccination  in  the  Army  in  1912, 
by  Frederick  F.  Russell,  Washington,  D.  C.  These  several  papers 
contained  considerable  information  of  a  practical  character  and, 
with  the  resulting  discussion,  constitute  perhaps  the  most  con- 
servative statement  with  regard  to  the  possibilities  and  limitations 
of  serums  and  vaccines  that  has  recently  been  presented. 
The  officers  of  the  Section  for  the  coming  year  are :  Chairman,

Delegate,  Ray  L.  Wilbur,  San  Francisco,  Cal. ;  Alternate,  Reid 
Hunt,  Washington,  D.  C.
