The Vital Element of the blood is Hæmoglobin. Without a normal percentage of this elementary principle the tissues are insufficiently oxygenated and poorly nourished. With a proper proportion the vital functions are quickened and the entire system thoroughly fortified. Pepto-Mangan ("Gude") is a hæmoglobin producer, because of the quickly assimilable organic Iron and Manganese which it contributes to the devitalized circulatory fluid existing in cases of Anæmia, Chlorosis, Amenorrhea, Dysmenorrhea, Prescribe PEPTO-MANGAN "GUDE" in original bottles containing 3 xi.

[Entered at the Postoffice of Denver, Colorado, as mail matter of the Second Class.] EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT. Colorado State Medical Society. The thirty-second annual convention, held at Pueblo, June 24-26, 1902, in the ordinary of the Grand Hotel, was called to order by the president, Dr. R. W. Corwin. After prayer by Rev. Patchell, Mayor Rizer was introduced and in a few felicitious phrases welcomed the association to the city and presented its membership with a brand-new municipal key. In place of reading the minutes, the proceedings as published were accepted. OFFICIAL REPORTS. Secretary Blaine, for the publication committee, reported the publication of 450 volumes of transactions and papers for 1901, at a cost of 80 cents per page, each volume comprising about 550 pages, which was 202 more pages than for the year 1900. Dr. William P. Munn, speaking for the special committee appointed last year, advised the adoption of a few alterations in the form of constitution and by-laws recommended for every state by the American Medical Association, as recently printed in the Journal American Medical Association. The said constitution provides for a solidarity of interest and organization by basing membership in state societies on the fact of membership in county or district organizations, the members of the state associations being likewise eligible to the national body, in the legislature of which said associations are entitled to one or more delegates. According to this uniform constitution, the state so ciety would elect a president for one year, secretary and a treasurer for three years and ten councillors or censors for two years, one-half annually. About the only changes suggested by the committee for this standard document were the following: To provide for the election to honorary membership, by two-thirds of the members present, of worthy and distinguished medical gentlemen; to continue members in the State Medical Society whether they held membership or not in local associations; to hold the annual sessions at the time fixed at preceding annual sessions; that papers be limited to fifteen minutes and discussions to five minutes; that each county medical society be granted one delegate for every twenty-five members or fraction thereof; that the nominating committee consist of five members; that standing committees be appointed by the president, instead of being elected. The annual dues for members of the State Society shall be $3 hereafter for those who are also members of a county society otherwise $5, as heretofore. Owing to the comparative sparseness of population in Colorado, certain social by-laws in the general form have been stricken out. After discussion, final action on the recommendations of the committee was postponed until the last day of the session. The report of the Committee on Necrology, prepared by Dr. H. G. Wetherill, showed an unusual number of deaths, including the names of ex-Presidents Eskridge, Thombs and Hawes, and also Clayton Parkhill, Russell B. Freeman, John S. Miller and Samuel Bonesteel. In connection with the continued special Committee on Tuberculosis, and on request of the society, Dr. Munn presented a rough draft of prophylactic recommendations, formulated by Chairman Sewall, though not yet acted upon officially by the committee. The writer prefaced his other remarks by proving that quarantine against tuberculosis in Colorado was neither necessary, practical nor desirable. He regarded as the most effective measures in limiting the spread of consumption the hygienic education of patients through the personal teaching of their physicians, the action of local health boards, and the study of the disease and publication of facts by special local societies. He believed that an effort for registration should be made, that sanitary supervision in a friendly spirit of hotels and boarding houses should be enforced, that promiscuous expectoration should be prohibited, and that the segregation of consumptives in suitable sanatoria should be encouraged as much as possible. Dr. Baker's comprehensive report on medical societies in Colorado showed a total of 14 associations of this kind, with an enrolled membership of 548 physicians, an average attendance of 222 at each meeting during the past year and the reading of 138 papers. In point of numbers the Denver and Arapahoe Medical Society took the lead with 188 members and an average attendance of 67. For similar statistics, the Las Animas County Medical Society had 38 members and an average of 10 at each meeting; the Cripple Creek District Medical Association, 44 and 15; the Colorado Ophthalmologic Society, II and 9; the Boulder County Medical Society, 17 and 6; El Paso County Medical Society, 45 and 12; the Weld County Medical Society, II and 6; the Denver Clinical and Pathological Society, 45 (limited membership), and 75 per cent. attendance; the Lake County Medical Society, 20 and 10; Otero County Medical Society, 25 and 10; Pueblo County Medical Society, 33 and 10; and the Denver Clinical Society, 13 active members, with an average attendance of 6. The Southern Colorado Medical Society, meeting annually, with membership of 60, had 20 members present at the last meeting. The Rocky Mountain Inter-State Medical Association has enrolled 180 members, of whom 75 were in attendance at the last meeting, in Denver. Treasurer Rothwell's report recorded a balance of $357 from last year; total annual receipts, $1,427; expenses, $903; balance on hand, $881. The corresponding secretary reported a net gain of 11 members for the State Society, despite the losses by death, resignation and non-payment of dues. The present total active membership is 326, or about one-fourth of all the physicians in the state. The resolutions and petition to the American Medical Association and the United States postoffice department, prepared by Dr. J. W. Kyger and endorsed by the Kansas City Academy of Medicine, was unanimously accepted by the Colorado State Medical Society. The paper is entitled "The Decadence of the American Race," and it demonstrates the dangers to the public of the vile advertisements carried by the public press, and the wisdom and justice of excluding such printed matter from the mails. THE PAPERS. The first paper on the program was by Dr. T. J. Forhan, of Trinidad, and referred largely to the diagnosis of small-pox. Among the Mexicans of southern Colorado the opinion prevails |
