The Committee on Publication, in issuing the present volume, respectfully report, that they have deemed it advisable to publish, in connected form, all the proceedings relating to the revival of the State Medical Society, during the first year of its re-organization. By so doing, the names, and most important personal facts, appertaining to each member, are placed collectively on record, in the order in which they were brought before the Society, and thus properly become matters of medical history in our State. Identified as the great uprising of the profession in California, in 1870, is with the recent session of the American Medical Association, in San Francisco, we trust, that the course we have adopted, will, while commemorative of this auspicious event, prove therefore more acceptable to the members of the society. THOS. M. LOGAN, M. D., Chairman, W. R. CLUNESS, M. D., W. T. GROVER, M. D., CLINTON CUSHING, M. D., W. T. WYTHE, M. D., Committee on Publication. |
