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

.lames EL Parkinson was re-elected

nolds.

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.
