TONER, the order of business was suspended, and notes from absentees were read, as follows: Dr. W. B. ATKINSON, Secretary American Medical Association. NEW ORLEANS, May 27, 1880. DEAR SIR: It is with great regret that I find myself forced to inform the Association through you that the state of my health will prevent me from officiating as one of its chairmen at the meeting to take place in June next. Very respectfully, B. A. POPE. On motion, the note was ordered to be entered upon the minutes. The Permanent Secretary also announced that Dr. ALBERT H. SMITH, of Pennsylvania, Chairman of the Section on Obstetrics, had been compelled to go to Europe after a severe attack of typhoid fever. Dr. AUSTIN FLINT, of New York, Chairman of the Committee on Prize Essays, presented the following report:— The Committee on Prize Essays have the honor to report that one essay only was received. This essay the several members of the committee have examined with care. It embodies the result of laborious and extensive research in medical literature, and, in this point of view, has much merit. The committee, however, do not feel warranted in recommending it for a prize, for the reason that it fails to meet what, in their opinion, should be considered as a requirement, namely, originality of investigations which enlarge the boundaries of our knowledge. AUSTIN FLINT, JUNE 1, 1880. On motion, the report was adopted. The report of the delegates to the Canadian Medical Association was offered and made the order for Wednesday morning. On motion, the Committee of Arrangements was requested to make the announcement in each Section, that each State delegation was expected to report its member of the Committee on Nominations to the Permanent Secretary on the morning of Wednesday, at the opening of the general session. On motion, adjourned to meet at 10 A. M. on Wednesday. SECOND DAY. WEDNESDAY, June 2. The Association was called to order by the President at 10 A.M. On motion of Dr. SAMUEL D. GROSS it was unanimously Resolved, That the following gentlemen from abroad, members of this Association by invitation, be, and are hereby made honorary members of this Association: Dr. JONATHAN HUTCHINSON, of London, England; Drs. HINGSTON, HOWARD, DAVID, OSTLER, and TRENHOLME, of Montreal; |
