ASSEMBLED MEDICOS. Second Day of the Medical Society's Annual Session, Dr. R. Beverly Cole Goes After His Pupil's Scalp—Emotional Insan ity—Election of Officers. The Medical Society of California re convened yesterday morning at the Sen ate Chamber for the second day's pro ceedings of its twenty-first annual ses sion. Tlie Board of Censors recommended tho following applicants for membership and they were elected: W. F. Magard, H. H. Clarke, Robert Caldwell, J. Ellis Rodlev, H. D. Lawhead, J. Clark, R. E. Hartley, W. J. Wilcox, A. Fine, L. P. Tooley. Dr. Le Moyne Wells read a paper writ ten by J. P. Widney, of Los Angeles, on "The Difficulty of Enforcing Medical Legislation, the Reasons Which Lie Back of It. and the Remedy." The writer de clares tliat there is a prejudice against such laws, as being close legislation. The same sentiment pervades the community and there is difficulty in enforcing such legislation even when the enactment of statutes have l>oen secured. He recom mended the establishment of a Board ol State Examiners, upon which shall be members of all the regular recognized schools oi medicine. I>i. Ross, of Woodland, thought the paper just road contained valuable sug gestions. He bad some experience witli the medical bill whicb it was tried to get through tiie last Legislature. Its pro visions were not properly explained to tiie statesmen, otherwise it would not have been relegated bo the waste-basket as a "cinch*" bill, lie thought a mistake bad been made In drawing up the bill — In attempting to define "unprofessional conduct." Tlie best medical law extant was that of Canada. That country was divided off into medical sections, and each section sent a delegate to a central conference. This conference formed all laws, passed upon applications to prac tice, and in fact governed ihe "whole business." CRIMINAL INSANE. Dr. R. F. Rooney, of Auburn, was not present, but liis paper on "Criminal In sane" was lead by Secretary Kerr. The main question set forth was whether or not a violent insane person, who to all appearances bas recovered from his allliction, be allowed to go out into tbe world and propagate bis species. The writer thought not, and be felt confident tbat others of tiie medical profession would agree with him. In Dr. Rooney's opinion the desire or mania to shed human blood or commit crime could be inherited inst aa insanity was. Dr. Brainard of Los Angeles said be bad given much attention to the subject of insane criminality, lie thought there was too much sentimentality aliout it. When a man escapes punishment by Imprisonment or hanging for an atrocious crime, on the ple:v of insanity, he thought it should be tho duty of the public to demand tliat tbat person be kept where he would not again commit crime. Dr. Price of Los Angeles had also given tho subject of insanity close study, and was thoroughly convinced of the truth fulness of the saying "blood will teli." and was satisfied tbat the propagation of tbe human race through persons ailiicted with insanity should be prohibited. Dr. Stallard of Ban Francisco said that in England persons who escape punish ment on the insanity dodge are afterwards confined in asylums. It was a good thing. But the public and the Jaw makers in tbis country were a good deal •lame for the present opportunities for escape, by widening too much tbe bonds of irresponsibility. Dr. McFarland agreed with the other doctors. 11 c Baid, however, that, although he was not familiar with the laws of Cali fornia, he knew that in some States the law was that the Judge could send the prisoner to an asylum alter bis or her acquittal. The doctor was decidedly against the so-called '•emotional insanity" Often resorted to by persons who are charged witl} crime, and did not believe it was a specie of insanity. lie also con sidered that all persons afflicted with epilepsy were in reality insane and should be confined. Dr. < irmeofLos Angeles was also against emotional insanity. SOCIETY CONTRACT SYSTEM. Treasurer Parkinson read a communi cation from Dr. <'. F. <;. Morgan of San Francisco, in which the writer severely denounced the ''societycontract system,'' and he hoped that the society would take action in severe condemnation of the practice. On motion of Dr. Parkinson, the com munication was rei. ried to the Executive < Jommittee ior a report. Dr. Thomas Boss of Woodland was then called upon a read his paper on ".Medical Responsibility." The doctor paid tiiis was an interesting subject, and lc wished he could give more time to it. When one holds himself out to the public as a physician, a great responsibility rests upon him. lie should not be expected to effect great and permanent cures in all cases; out he certainly is called upon to exercise reasonable skill and diligence. The doctor devoted considerable time to the necessity of physicians being careful in thoroughly disinfecting their hands and persons when handling their patients, particularly those afflicted with con tagious diseases. Physicians cannot be too careful in adopting asseptio and anti septic measures, particularly in tiie exer 1' midwifi j. Dr. Law head, of Woodland, said he heartily concurred in the suggestions offered by Dr. Boss. Doctors could not be too careful, and the great reaponsibil .l rested upon them should never be lost sigiit of. Dr. < i. W. Davis, of San Francisco, was ol a similar opinion, and related an in stance wherein the life of a patient was lost in a case of child-birth simply be cauae the attending physician neglected thorough disinfection. Septicemia set in immediately. Antiseptics should be use.l mily in tie-, cases, and, in his opinion, cmc of tiie best antiseptics w_s thoroughly boiled water. >I.i ' - i' I'll. IH TROUBLE. The « *ommittee on (tbetetrica and Puer peral Diseases wss next called upon. Dr. 1.. s. Barchard, <>f Oakland, t'hair man ofthe committee, waa the flrst to ad j. his subject being tbe A«-nn ut of Labor." The doctor de voted himself to a lengthy description of 'nary details of managing ca child-birth. Etc insisted that those de mportant, aa a physician nevi r knows when he is going to meet with complications, and ho insisted tbat anti- HOpf.cs should be used in all CSSOP. Dr. R. Beverly Cole of San Francisco opened the diacosalon <>n this subject. Dr. Cole said be had been a teacher of obstetrics, and the gentleman who had led him was a pupil of his, ami therefore he was sorry that ho would he compelled to tear the doctor's paper to i>r. Cole said hi' was Irrevocably irom first to last opposed to anti-septi .-i»:u. He defied anybody to {.rove that, since the practice of antlcepticiam, the mortality incases of child-birth had decreased. He characterized it as a "new Singled tad." and "meddlesome mid wifery," and asked bow it was that our mothers ami fathers i^'t along so well, when anticeptieism was nut hoard of. The doctor literally "roasted" his former pupil, I'r. lhnchar.l, on his theories, an.l declared that that doctor's present ideas OOt Ln accordance with th« teaching he received. He denounced the system Of giving women in labor choral hydrate and bromide of potassium, and declared that nature always revolted, when inter with. [n conclusion the doctor in timated darkly, that his ox-pupil would suoceedfifhe practiced upon his theories, in killing more of bis patients than he delivered safely. . When I'r. Cole had finished and Dr. Bun-bard was soon to rise to his feet, pxr>»-et>-d pwne "bin." Rut the ex-pupil, instead of replying in kind to his sarcastic professor, was very mild in his answer. He said Dr. Cole had mis understood him on many points. He had not meant to say that he resorted to the measures he had suggested in his paper in all cases, but only where the circumstances made it appear to him Decenary. He thought Dr. Cole had been a tritie too severe, however, and had even overlooked somo acknowledged truths in order to facilitate this severity. Afternoon Session. When the society was called to order for the afternoon session Dr. Wytho, Chairman ofthe Board of Censors, rec ommended the following applicants for membership: Nelson Watts (reinstate ment), S. R. Mathor and Kaspar Pisehl. The Secretary was instructed to cast a ballot electing those recommended. l>r. Parkinson by request read the re port of the Committee on Necrology, re porting the following mortality list ofthe society during the past year: George Walker Graves, of Petaluma; James Mur phy, of San Francisco; W. B. Simonton, of Oakland; John Larkin, Henry Ferrer and Walter Hodgdon, of San Francisco; R. K. Reed, of Stockton; E. T. Wilkins, of Napa, and Thomas Jenkins, of Oro ville. Dr. D. B. Van Slyck, of Pasadejia, then read a paper ou the "Uses of Obstetric Forceps." He lirst devoted himself to a description of cases in which the forceps were to be called into requisition, and then described the kind of instrument to be used in each particular case. Dr. W. A. Briggs, of Sacramonto, in dorsed the suggestions of Dr. Van Slyck, and said that in his practice he had con formed invariably with these rules, and he had found no reason for abandoning his belief. 1 >r. Colo was on deck again with an ob jection to the methods and suggestions of Drs. Van Slyck and Briggs. Ho said he did uot wish to take up the society's time, but he would challenge the author of the paper to a discussion of the subject at the society's next annual session, llediifered with the gentleman, and would "knock his theories out." Mrs. Dr. C. B. Brown said she thor oughly agreed with Dr. Van Slyek's ideas concerning the use of forceps. FIBROID TLAMORs. Under the head of gynecology, Dr. C. E. Blake read Dr. 0. O. Burgess' paper on "Treatment of Fibroid Tumors of the Uterus with' Special Reference to the Method of Apostoli, and the Radical Surgical Procedures." <-«Dr. F. T. Bicknell of Los Angeles and Dr. C. Cushing of San Francisco also spoke on the same subject. Dr. Cushing said he had spent several weeks with Apostoli and, also with Keith, the latter being one of the greatest experts of lilnoid tumors. Keith had told him that ma great majority of cases it was better to let the libroids to care for themselves rather than to operate upon them. The great trouble with doctors, he said, was that when they got hold of a new idea, or a new process, they allowed it to carry them away, to the exclusion of all reason ami thought. Too much was expected of new discoveries. This was what happened in regard to Koch's lymph for the cure of tuberculosis. Dr. Cushing thought that the time would come when the surgeon's knife would not be used at all. Dr. Wythe of Oakland aud E. S. Clark also made a few remarks on fibroid tu mors. The Board of Censors reported at this juncture in favor of the applications of R. S. Market. B. A. Plant and C. B. Nichols for membership. Dr. Cushing of San Francisco then read his paper on "Backward Displacements of the Uterus." This was an exceedingly interesting discourse to the doctors, and when Dr. Cushing concluded he was asked many questions regarding the prac tice of repairing these displacements. Dr. Plummer, on behalf of the Execu tive Committee, reported on the various matters which had been referred to that committee. The committee recommended that the Board of Censors furnish re ceipts to applicants for membership; that in order to maintain tbe dignity and honor of the profession and the society, members should refuse professional recognition to those who have been ex pelled from the local medical societies; that the denunciation by G. F. G. Mor gan ofthe society practice system should be heartily endorsed by the society, and that tin- practice referred to is inimical to the profession and should bo condemned by tiie society. The Committee on Legislation then made its report, through Dr. W. E. Briggs of .Sacramento. The committee reported tbat it was with regret tbat it announced that it was unable to secure a better medical law for the State. Strenuous ef forts had been made by the committee at tbe recent Legislature, but, being with out money, it could not accomplish any thing. The defeat of the medical bill was attributed to tbe lack of interest in it by the public and the blindness of some doctors, who did not understand tbe pur port of the proposed law. Tbe public looked with suspicion upon the commit tee's efforts against the dishonest prac tictloner and quack, and mistook the doctors' motives. i:kports of rnooßEss. Dr. 0. E. Blake, ofthe Board of Exami ners, presented the report of the board. During the year one hundred and eighty three applications bad been received, one hundred and sixty-nine accepted, two refused, six were withdrawn and some remain on hand. American diplo mas bad been presented by one hundred and fifty-one persons, and thirty-one foreign diplomas had been presented. The report also dealt with the subject of tlie proposed medical law which was de feated at the session of the Legislature, regretted its defeat, and blamed the news papers. The board also recommended I more strict requirements of applicants. and particularly those coming to America j with foreign diplomas. The report showed that the expenses of the board were some $000 in excess ofthe receipts. < In motion of Dr, Kerr a special com mittee consisting of Drs. Whittell, Daw son and Brainard was appointed to attend to the financial portion ofthe report. Secretary Kerr reported that the society had three hundred and ninety-one active members, and that while a "number had been dropped for non-payment of dues the membership was growing rapidly. Treasurer Parkinson reported that the disbursements lor the year had been 91457 and tbe society had on hand $_,4*>:). 'lh'- next matter taken up was the Belt ctiOQ of a place for next year's meet ing. Dr. Kerr extended a hearty invita tion on behalf of San Francisco, for tho society to visit that city, and the invita tion was accepted. m:\v oiki ( BBS. The society then entered upon the elec tion of ollicers for the ensuing year. <>n a motion of Dr. Kegensberger of San Praneisoo, a recess of live minutes w as taken for a "canvass." When the Society was callod to order again, Hr. Q. L. Simmons placed in nom ination for President, in a very compli mentary speech, O. O. Burgess of San Francisco. I>r. Wills seconded tho nomination of Dr. Burgess. Hr. Cushing nominated Dr. Wythe of Oakland for the olfiee. Dr. Westlako seconded this nomination. The nominations for President then closed, and the ballot showed 49 votes for Burgess and BB for Wythe. Dr, Burgess was accordingly declared the now President of tho society. For First Vice-President, Dr. Colton nominated P. C. Remondino, and as there were no other nominations the nominee was declared elected. W.J. <■. Dawson, of St. Helena, was the only nominee for Second Vice-Presi dent, and was declared elected. For Secretary, William Watt Kerr, the )>r.-. Nt incumbent, was nominated and declared re-elected. 11. M.lSherman and C. C. Wadsworth wero elected Assistant Secretaries in the same manner. .lames EL Parkinson was re-elected Treasurer. Tho Board of Censors was elected, as follows: J. IT. Wythe, 11. M. Pond, S. S. Kahn, D. G. McGowan and G. P. Rey nolds. Tho election of a now Board of Exam iners was not completed and was laid over until to-day's session. Evening Session. At the evening session the Board of Censors reported favorably tho applica tions of George Hull and Elizabeth M. SACRAMENTO DAILY KECPED-TOTON; Trim BSD AY, APKII. 25, 1891.—SIX PAGES, Yates for membership, and C. 11. Gibbon for reinstatement. On motion of Dr. Wills, Dr. Cushing was recalled to further enlighten the so ciety on the interesting subject of dis placements, his discourse having been necessarily shortened at the afternoon session, owing to the pressure of time. Dr. Cushing was received with applause whon he reappeared. His reading was strictly technical, and was listened to with rapt attention by the medicos pres ent. When Dr. Cushing concluded, Dr. W. D. Babcock was called upon to read the paper of Dr. J. D. Arnold, of San Fran cisco, on the treatment of ozena. Ozena. better known as nasal catarrh, said the writer, was generally conceded to be an incurable disease, but still cases had been operated upon by him in which gratify ing results had been achieved. He gave a technical description of the method of treatment. After the reading Dr. Babcock made a few remarks on tlie subject of ozena. The speaker said hi.s greatest remedy was cleanliness. Dr. Whittell also spoke on this subject. He said a case had come under his observation which almost con vinced him that ozena was a contagious disease, although it was not so accredited in medical text-books. Secretary Kerr by request read the paper ot Dr. EL L. Wagner, of San Fran cisco, on "The Relationship Between Meningitis and Empyema of the An trum," Dr. Wagner being absent. Dr. W. D. Babcock read a paper on "Laryngology and General Medicine," after which an adjournment was taken until to-day. PATHOLOGICAL EXHIUITION. Diseased Conditions ofthe Kidney Un der Powerful Microscopes. During the recesses of yesterday after noon and evening, a highly interesting pathological exhibition was tarnished the members of the society by Dr. J. 11. Stallard, the well-known San Francisco physician. The doctor was ably assisted by Dr. W. E. Briggs of this city and Mr. Reidy of San Francisco. The doctor devoted himself to showing the germs and conditions of the various diseases and affections of the kidney through powerful microscopes. To-day the doctor will show the dis eased conditions of the liver and other organs. RECEPTION EAST NIGHT. The Grand Reception by tho Ladies To-nitiht. The members of the Sacramento So ciety for Medical Improvement enter tained tho visiting physicians last night at the Sutter Club rooms. There was a j large attendance, about equally of ladies : and gentlemen. There was no dancing, but a good orchestra, under direction of ! C. A. Neale, furnished concert music during the evening. Some twenty or thirty ladies and gentlemen of Sacra mento not related to the society as sisted its members in entertaining the guests. The committees were very attentive to the guests, and spared no pains to make the evening pleasant to all. There were no decora tions in the rooms, save a superb floral mat for one ofthe parlor tables, presented by Mrs. Foye, and another of chrysan themums, in the reading-room. lii the dining-room an elegant repast was spread, and in the main hail iced lemonade was served. All the lloors of tho club were thrown open to the guests, and they en joyed themselves either inthe card-room, billiard-room, or in social chat in the re ception rooms. It was a very successful and well-managed social affair. To-night the ladies give a reception to the visitors at the Art Gallery, and have issued invitations to as many home peo ple as can be comfortably accommodated, to aid in entertaining tho visitors. The guests are requested to assemble not later than 8 o'clock, as the public installation of ollicers of the State Medical Society will take place in the School of Design room at 8:30 exactly. The platform will then be removed and dancing inaugu rated. During the evening there will be vocal and instrumental solos. The lec ture room on tho lower lloor will be used as a refreshment room. The upper gal leries will be lighted by electricity for the first time in over live years. The main lloor, at great expense by the committee, has been scraped and repolished, restor ing all the designs of the inlaid work. The lower hall has been dressed in ever greens, and potted plants have been placed wherever thoy will make effective decoration. The library will bo used as a general retiring-room, the studio as a ladies' dressing-room, and the ollice as a smoking-room. The glass coiling doors have been removed so that the orchestra can play in the upper gallery and be heard for the dauce in the school-room. The work of preparing the building has been going on for a week or more, and as a result it has been cleaned thoroughly and considerably Improved and beau tified. Killed In a Railroad Tunnel. The body of George Miller, a railroad laborer, was found shockingly mutilated in the tunnel just east ofthe Summit, by the track-walker yesterday. The proba bility is that he was in a drunken condi tion when he entered the tunnel, and was struck by a passing train. He was not married, and his relatives, if he has any, are not known. Accident in the Snow-Sheds. A freight car became derailed in a snow shed near Bluo Crayon late on Tuesday night and the result was that about 180 feet of the shed was knocked down, but luckily no one on the train was injured. It took about four hours to clear away the debris. -♦■ Seaweed is now made into a tough paper, which takes the place <f window glass. When colored the effect is similar to stained or painted glass.
