MEETING OF THE STATE ECLECTIC MEDICAL AND SURGICAL SOCIETY
OF MICHIGAN.

The third annual meeting of this Society will be held in the city of Niles, commencing at 11 o'clock A.M., on Wednesday, May 28, 1879, and will continue in session two days.

Very important matters in the interest of rational progressive medicine in this State will be considered at this meeting, and it is hoped that Eclectic and liberal-minded physicians generally throughout the State will make a special effort to be present. Headquarters will be at the Bond House, where first-class accommodations will be furnished those in attendance at reduced rates. An effort is being made to secure commutation of fare on the railroads also, to delegates and their wives.

Dowagiac, Mich., April 8, 1879.

P. W. REED, Port Huron, President,

The Eclectics of the Fourth Congressional District of Michigan, comprising the Counties of St. Joseph, Kalamazoo, Cass, Van Buren and Berrian, have issued a call for a convention to be held at Niles, early on the morning of the second day of the meeting of the State Society, for the purpose of organizing a Society for that district to be auxiliary to the State Society and incorporated under the Act of 1877.

NATIONAL ECLECTIC MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.

This Association may receive as permanent members such

persons, graduates of regularly organized medical colleges, holding legimate diplomas, and physicians who have been engaged in practice for fifteen years as are duly recommended by the local or State Eclectic Medical Society to which they belong, provided that they are or have served as delegates to this Association. Every State Medical Society in sympathy with this Association and its purposes is authorized to appoint fifteen delegates annually, and every local or district society two delegates, and every medical college likewise two delegates.

The names of all delegates should be transmitted immediately to the Secretary of the National Eclectic Medical Association. This will create greater facility in the dispatch of business, prevent mistakes and confusion, and save much time and annoyance. It will not preclude changes at a subsequent date, but make matters more pleasant all around.

The Secretary also respectfully requests the officers of the several State and local organizations to send him at an early day, the names of their respective secretaries, their officers, with post-office address, number of members, time of meeting, etc. This will enable him to report the same at the next annual meeting.

The following persons have been designated in the several States, whose duty is specified in the following terms:

To attend the meetings of the Eclectic Medical Societies of the States in which they respectfully reside, and to report, in writing, at the annual meetings of the Association the prosperity, membership, and condition of such societies, and such facts in regard to the welfare and prospects of reformed medicine in the States as shall appear to them of importance. These reports, or a proper abstract of them, shall be included in the published Transactions of the Association. (No P. O. furnished.—N.) Alabama, L.
