DUES. A number of notices have been sent members in arrears for dues. Prompt attention to this matter will greatly facilitate the work of the Society. If any mistakes have occurred in getting out these notices, the best way to correct them is to make an immediate protest in writing to the Secretary or Treasurer. Under the New Constitution, the Secretary has turned over to the Treasurer all financial matters, and in checking over the list of members, errors may have crept in.

COUNCIL.-Dr. A. G. Freidrichs, Chairman of the Council, has issued registration blanks, which will be distributed by the Councillors. Dr. Friedrichs hopes that the physicians will co-operate in this matter and return their blanks promptly.

Orleans Parish Medical Society Notes.

[Edited by the Publication Committee, Dr. S. M. D. Clark, Chairman, Drs. Jules Lazard and N. F. Thiberge.]

Our last meeting was unusually well attended. The discussion of the papers presented was vigorous and most instructive. A most timely subject was discussed, that of uncinariasis. The series of papers presented on this disease were of a high order and our members should feel indebted to the essayists for having brought before them in so forcible a way this subject, the importance of which cannot be overestimated. It is, as well said by one of the members, a subject upon which our eyes have been heretofore closed. Every member present enjoyed the discussion and when the meeting adjourned one could not but feel that the evening had been well spent. It must be admitted that this subject has not heretofore

received the proper attention and recognition from the profession in this section. For those members who were not in attendance it will do them well to read the papers presented and the discussion that followed. The mission of this Society would be realized did we have many meetings on the order of the one of August 8.

Several papers have been scheduled for coming meetings which promise to be valuable contributions. The Committee on Scientific Essays is most pleased at the eagerness of members to prepare papers for presentation. This is the spirit that should be kept alive and the Society will be destined to the accomplishment of greater things.

It is hoped to increase the strength and importance of this Society to such a degree that the local profession will feel it compulsory upon themselves in order to receive recognition of their work to prepare papers on their researches and present them to this body for its consideration and discussion.

The applicants for new membership have been eight in number since the last Notes were written. Some names have been unfavorably acted upon. The Judiciary Committee has girded on its armor and is alive to its work. It is making a vigorous investigation of some charges recently brought to its attention for consideration.

The Committee appointed by the Board to revise the By-Laws so as to be in harmony with those of the State Society, have completed their work and presented its report to the Board, from where it will be brought before the Society for its approval.

The Committee appointed for the purpose of looking into the question of new quarters are at work, having visited several sites, but is yet not ready to make any definite recommendation.

The Committee on Hospital Abuse has not made a report. It is about time that we hear something from them on the subject.

The series of the most important medical periodicals for the last six months have been bound and filed away for reference. A valuable addition to the library has been made by binding the Archives of Pediatrics from 1886 to date.

A DAILY MEDICAL JOURNAL has been conceived and proposes to appear before the public in six pages, 12x15 inches in size, four columns each and the equipment has been provided for 100,000 copies each day. All for one dollar annually, and, as an inducement to subscribers the New York Medical Critic is to be added gratis. A daily medical paper was started several years ago and seemed to die a natural death. The present enterprise seems well balanced and we trust it may succeed.

AMERICAN GYNECOLOGY. The July number of this journal appears in a new and quite attractive form and will henceforth be published in Baltimore.

The journal has just completed its first year's existence and has maintained from its first issue such a standard of excellence that one could hardly have expected the further improvements noted in the new volume. It is devoted to gynecology, obstetrics and abdominal surgery, and the seven contributions comprised in this number are of unusual importance and extent.

THE MEDICAL SOCIETY OF VIRGINIA will hold its thirty-fourth annual session in the Y. M. C. A. Hall, at Roanoke, Va., September 15-17, 1903.

THE AMERICAN ELECTRO THERAPEUTIC ASSOCIATION will meet at the Hotel Windsor, Atlantic City, New Jersey, on September 22, 23, 24. The hotel rate will be $3.50 a day for each person. Round trip tickets from New York City $4.75. An excellent program has been arranged and the Association invites all practitioners to attend the meeting.

THE SOCIETY OF AMERICAN AUTHORS is agitating general interest in the question of postal rates as applied to manuscripts, at present in the United States having the same charge as ordinary sealed correspondence. Other countries have a mercantile rate, classing manuscripts, not in the nature of correspondence, as commercial matter and making the same postal charges.

NORTH MISSISSIPPI PHYSICIANS FORM AN ASSOCIATION. Marshall County Medical Association was organized July 30 by Dr. Perkins of Batesville, acting for the State Association. Dr. R. H. Peet was elected president, Dr. R. A. Seale secretary and treasurer, Dr. Moore of Waterford assistant secretary and treasurer, Dr. Daniel of Holly Springs, Dr. Hayes of Byhalia and Dr. Vaughan of Pott's Camp, censors. It is the duty of the censors to investigate cases of malpractice, quackery, etc. It is the purpose of the association to improve and build up the practice of medicine in Marshall county. It will meet quarterly.

PASTEUR INSTITUTE PROBABLE. The Charity Hospital board of administrators have had a proposition for a Pasteur Institute subImitted to them.

DIED-Berthold Ernest Hadra, M. D. University of Berlin, Germany, 1866, surgeon in the German army in 1866; a resident of Texas since 1867; president of the Texas State Medical Association in 1901; one of the first regents of the University of Texas; and one of the founders of the medical department of the university at Galveston, died suddenly at his office in Dallas, July 12, from aneurism of the aorta, aged 58.
