members appointed by the President for a term of three years. There shall be an annual appointment of three members. Vacancies occurring from other causes shall be filled for the unexpired term. This committee shall organize sub-committees in each county, whose duty it shall be to assist in the framing and passage of such laws as may be desired, and in the enforcement of them in their respective counties afterward.

It shall be the duty of the committee to prevent the repeal of such salutary medical laws as are now in effect; to frame and assist in the passage of such medical legislation as may be deemed necessary and beneficial, and to take proper steps to discover, report and prosecute all violations of existing medical laws.

It shall be the duty of the main committee to meet in Atlanta during the sessions of the Legislature, or at such other times as is deemed best to carry out its purposes.

(The attention of this committee is called to the following: To suggest a feasible plan for the introduction into court of expert medical testimony in criminal cases. To suggest a feasible plan for the prevention and spread of tuberculosis.)

He stated that the object in making the report was to show the inconsistency of adopting this resolution which now becomes a part of the By-Laws, and that the committee could not use funds until they had been created. As the hour for adjournment had nearly arrived, on motion, this matter was deferred until the afternoon session, to be taken up immediately after reassembling.

The President appointed as Auditing Committee, Drs. Slack, C. H. Richardson and George H. Noble.

The President read a letter from Dr. Senn regretting his inability to be present to deliver an address on "Emergency Surgery."

Dr. Westmoreland moved that in view of Dr. Senn's absence, Dr. Samuel Lloyd, of New York, occupy the time allotted to Dr. Senn. Seconded.

Dr. McRae objected to this on the ground that it was discourteous to Dr. Senn after he had taken the trouble to prepare his address and had sent it to be read.

He then

moved, as a substitute, that the regular program be carried out, and that Dr. Elliott read it at the appointed time.

A report was made by the Board of Censors with reference to action taken on thirty-four applications for membership between the last meeting and the present one, and, on motion, the report was adopted.

The reading of papers was then proceeded with, the first one being read by Dr. T. Virgil Hubbard, of Atlanta, entitled, "The Eliminative and Antiseptic Treatment of Typhoid Fever."

On motion of Dr. Hunt, the discussion on this paper was postponed until after the reading of Dr. Hare's address. Dr. Gilman Robinson, of Atlanta, followed with a paper on "Infant Feeding in Health and Disease."
