The Mississippi Valley Medical Association.

THE thirty-second annual meeting of the Mississippi Valley Medical Association will convene at Hot Springs, Ark., on November 6th next and continue three days.

papers, a large proportion being from the authorities, and the range of subjects being so wide as to insure a constant and deep interest in the program.

Science is the object of the meeting, but every man has to breathe so much Arkansas ozone that he will return considerably exhilarated.

Hot Springs, the great "National Sanitarium," as it is called, is owned and controlled by the U. S. Government, having been set apart for the treatment of its people in 1832. The government scheme of improvements at Hot Springs has been going on for years. Its income from the water and other rentals has all been spent on the reservation, until now it is one of the most beautiful spots belonging to Uncle Sam, as the accompanying pictures will show.
