Dr. George S. Iddings announces that he has removed his office to more convenient quarters in the Caxton Building, and that he has added to his paraphernalia a portable X-Ray service. This in connection with his equipment enables him to render the most advanced service in this form of practice.

We received a very neat invitation to attend the Commencement exercises and reception of the Training School for Nurses of the Lexington Heights Hospital at the Twentieth Century Club, Delaware Ave., Buffalo, Monday evening, April 14th, 1902. As everybody knows, this hospital is the field of work in which our good friend, Dr. De Witt G. Wilcox, has made such wonderful success. Dr. Wilcox graduated seven nurses from the Hospital, and we are quite sure the training they have received under his supervision could not be anything but the best. We congratulate

the Doctor on his success in this work.

A very cordial letter from Calvin Starr, of Beatrice, Nebr., conveys his regrets that it will be impossible for him to be at the Institute meeting this year. Dr. Starr had the eighty-first anniversary of his birth on the 2nd of April, 1902, and has been practicing continuously since his graduation from our College in 1851. He says that so far as he knows, there is no other member of his class living. We extend to the Doctor our felicitations on his success and hope that he may be spared for a number of years and continue the good work.

The 36th annual session of the Minnesota State Homeopathic Institute was held in the Masonic Temple, Minneapolis, May 20th, 21st and 22nd. The most striking

feature of the program is the announcement of a Bureau of Homeopathy, with five papers presented; this in addition to the Bureau of Materia Medica, which presents four papers, and that of Clinical Medicine, which presents twelve papers. We feel very much like congratulating this organization on the fact that the work of the sessions is not to be entirely devoted to surgical cases and operations. There are some societies of which we know which could take this program of the Minnesota Institute and very profitably make a model of it in the preparation of the programs for their meetings.

Wm. S. Todd, Belfast, N. Y., writes a very interesting letter, in which he calls to mind memories of the centennial year of 1876, when he received his diploma from our College. He expects to be at the Institute meeting and hopes to renew his acquaintance with such of the Faculty as are here.

W. B. McClure, Martins Ferry. O., was one of a number who wrote to the "Reporter" asking why the May number had not arrived. We are glad to have received these letters because it shows that our subscribers look for their "Reporter" and when it does not come are conscious of a vacancy in their daily lives. This is complimentary to us.

One of our good friends is Dr. Edward F. Scoles, of Newton, Mass., who graduated away back in the class of 1859. In remitting his subscription the Doctor takes occasion to speak in complimentary terms of our work.

Dr. Evelyn S. Pettit, New Brighton, Pa., is now "under her own vine and fig tree." She has bought a splendid house on the main business street of the city-a very desirable location. Everybody who knows Dr. Pettit knows also that she is worthy of all the success she has attained in her work.

The third annual commencement of the Dr. C. E. Sawyer Sanitorium Training School for Nurses was held in the assembly room of the Sanitoriumn Wednesday evening, June 4th, 1902. There were four graduates in the class, and the address was delivered by our good friend, Dr. A. W. Reddish, of Sidney, Ohio, Dr. Sawyer presenting the diplomas. From the program which was sent us we would say that the participants in the exercises must have had a very enjoyable time. The address by Dr. Reddish appears in this number.

Dr. Theron L. Blackledge was married May 28th to Miss Anna M. Cowen, of Hookstown, Pa. Dr. and Mrs. Blackledge are at home at Monaca, Pa., where the Doctor has been practicing for some time.

Here is an extract from a letter by Dr. G. P. Spaulding, who has the word "Homeopathist" on his letter head: "I am thankful every day that I am a homeopath, and that my college days were spent in the C. H. M. C., for I consider our College one of the best and the instruction there the most practical and thorough of any college in the land. I noticed at the State Board meeting in June that the boys from our College seemed to find as little fault with the examination, and to get along as well as those from any college."

We are pleased to note the location at 756 Rose Bldg., of Dr. Carl H. Rust, who

has been located at Wellington, Ohio, for a number of years. Dr. Rust gave up his practice at Wellington, as noted in the "Reporter' some months ago, and spent the winter in New York City, taking special post graduate instruction in the ear, nose and throat. He spent most of his time at the Polyclinic, where the facilities for this special work are unexcelled. There is no question but that he is a decided acquisition to the homeopathic ranks.

Joseph J. Kinyoun, M. D., Ph. D., late surgeon of the Marine Hospital Service and Director of the Hygienic Laboratory at Washington, has assumed the directorship of the Biological Laboratories of the H. K. Mulford Company, at Glenolden, Pa. Dr. Kinyoun has not only served the Government by being delegated special representative to the International Congresses, by being late Surgeon of the United States Marine Hospital Service, and Director of the Hygienic Laboratory at Washington, but also by representing the Government on several occasions in the investigation of the progress of serum organotherapy and infectious diseases at home and abroad, in Berlin and Paris, particularly, Europe in general and Japan.

Of necessity his work carried him to and in contact with Professors Koch, Roux, Behring and Pasteur, under whom he has received special instructions and enjoyed the advantages of the study of bacteriology and allied subjects; this together with the natural tendency of his talents, that of original bacteriological research, peculiarly fits him for the office he now assumes.

Dr. David Williams, a member of the Ohio State Board of Medical Registration and Examination, died at his home in Columbus, Ohio, May 23, 1902. Dr. Williams was a native of Ohio, having been born in Licking County fifty-nine years ago. He was educated at Granville and Oberlin, and graduated from the Eclectic Medical Institute in Cincinnati in 1870. He practised for a time in his native village of Alexandria, but for many years was a resident of Columbus. Dr. Williams always

took an active interest in medical affairs. He was at different times president of the Eclectic national, State and local societies. When the present medical law was under. consideration, he took an acitve part in framing the law, and gave all his influence in furthering its enactment by the Legislature. He was appointed by Governor Bushnell to represent the Eclectic School upon the Board, and two years ago was re-appointed for the full term of seven years. He gave to all matters pertaining to the Board, his characteristic thoughtful attention, and was regarded as one of its most influential members. He commanded the respect and confidence of his colleagues of all schools, and consequently wielded a wide influence in the profession.

The twenty-ninth annual meeting of the Homeopathic Medical Society, of Eastern Ohio, was held at Hotel Buchtel, Akron, O., April 16th. The following program was presented:

Dr. Clapsdel, Akron, O, "A few points on treatment of the common diseases of the Eye." Dr. T. T. Church, Salem, O., "A few interesting cases.

Dr. Alvin L. Waltz, Cleveland, O., "Some moods and contradictions of the Materia Medica "

Dr. J. W. Rockwell, Akron, O., "The indicated remedy

Dr. H. D. Bishop, Cleveland, O.. "Four cases having Spina bifida hydrocephalous and other anomalies."

Dr. E H. Jewitt, Cleveland, O., "The conduct of Normal Labor."

Dr. Wood, President of the Institute, gave the members a cordial invitation to attend the meeting in June, and his remarks met with such a hearty reception that we feel sure nearly all of the members will accept. The meeting was a

profitable one, there being an attendance of nearly one hundred, and the papers and discussions were particularly good, bringing out many points of decided interest and profit. The thanks of the Northern Ohio men are certainly due the generous Akron physicians for their hospitality and courtesy.

The Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan Homeopathic Medical Association held its 22nd semi-annual meeting at Elkhart, Ind., May 6th, 1902. This is the society of which our good friend Dr. Mumaw, of Elkhart, is secretary, and he always manages to get out a good attendance. Although we have no definite report concerning the meeting, we have no doubt it was the usual success.

The American Roentgen Ray Society desires to announce that its next meeting will be held in the city of Chicago on December 10th and

11th of the current year. There has been secured a most excellent local committee of arrangements composed of well known and leading men of Chicago under the chairmanship of Dr. Ralph R. Campbell. This committee further embraces the names of Drs John B Murphy, Louis E. Schmidt, M. L. Harris, W. L. Baum, H. G. Anthony and W. A. Pusey. The personnel of this committee gives evidence of the earnest desire of the society to have its meetings entirely ethical and scientific.

The very nature and mystery of the X-ray and the tremendous impetus in a therapeutic way which has been given to its use during the past year, will unquestionably encourage a very widespread abuse on the part of many irresponsible persons. It is the hope of this society to serve a useful purpose in encouraging on the one hand a proper understanding of the uses and limitations of the X-ray, and on the other hand to limit and control the inevitable abuses which are now springing up on all hands.

It is hoped that all those who feel an interest in the uses to which the wonderful discovery of Professor Roentgen may come to be put, will bear the date of this next meeting in mind and communicate with the local committee of arrangements, or with the secretary of the soci

At the April meeting of the Cleveland Homeopathic Medical Society the subject of the evening's discussion was Typhoid Fever. Drs. Danforth, Gurnee, Kraft, Cummer and Somers presented a symposium on that disease that was

well worth hearing. It was hoped that the Health Officer, Dr. Friedrich, would be present and address the organization, but he was prevented from coming.

At the May meeting the subject of Gastroenteritis was discussed by Drs. Kimmel, E O. Adams, Cutter, Carter, Osborn, Kraft and Jones. These names are sufficient guarantee that the discussion was full of interest and instruction to those present

At both of the meetings supper was served, the first part of the evening being spent in this way in a very social manner. We are hop ing that with the resumption of the meetings in the fall the same interest will be manifested and that this may continue t hrough the entire winter.

The Beaver County Homeopathic Medical Society met in its regulary monthly session at the office of Dr. Moon, of Beaver Falls, Pa., April 17th, at 2 p. m. This society has a membership of fifteen and the attendance is generally very good At this meeting Dr J. M. Douds read a very able paper on smallpox. Drs. Moon and Douds had seen a number of cases recently at Beaver Falls. Dr. Blackledge told of the rich experience he had had in seeing cases of this disease while he was clerk of the Good Samaritan Dispensary connected with the col lege. He made the remark at the meeting that he had seen a great number of cases, had never been vaccinated, but always took variolinum 200 for a time after each exposure. We are indebted to the doctor for these notes concerning the work of this society.
