FLINT. 9 The President then read his ADDRESS TO THE FELLOWS. FELLOWS OF THE CONNECTICUT MEDICAL SOCIETY. Gentlemen: : Literally nothing has occurred to mar the peaceful progress of the Connecticut Medical Society during the past year; consequently the duties of your President have been mostly of a perfunctory character. In January a communication was received from the Secretary of the International Medical Congress, inviting this Society to send a delegate to its meeting to be held in Madrid, April 23-30, 1903. It would certainly seem that so courteous an invitation should be accepted and a delegate appointed. This Society is requested to adopt a resolution favoring introduction into the curriculum of all medical colleges in the United States the practical teaching of Dietetics, Physico-Mechanical Therapeutics and Hydrotherapy. The great importance of the subject first mentioned would seem to justify the adoption of such a resolu tion, but as the time of the medical student is at present so fully occupied, it would seem that an extension of the length of time covered by the course of study would be necessary, in order to increase the number of branches taught. I am also requested to bring before the Society a set of resolutions adopted by the Kansas City Academy of Medicine regarding indecent advertisements called "Guarantees," "Sure Relief," "Sure Preventive," etc., which I will not read as if the committee to which this address will probably be referred should think best the Preamble and Resolutions will be read and doubtless fully discussed. |
