sion¬

t to read a paper on intestinalsurgery showing how frequently the

<life of the patient was jeopardized by

r1 too great delays in operating or theunwillingness of the patient and theparents of some to permit it until toolate

n After this part of the program hadbeen acted and some remarks by thepresident and several members that

i4 there was nbt as much discussion onpapers by thos present as thereshould be the business of the bodywas taken up which consisted of somenmendments to the constitution andbylaws The date of the annualmeeting of the association was chang-ed

¬

to the first Wednesday in April1 then The house of delegates was or ¬

ganized Half a dozen or more coun ¬t ties were represented but Dr

r to rpresnt Jefferson county In theDeliberations-

Dri

i J Harris Pierpont of Pensacola-put in nomination that city as thenext meeting place Dr Porter did notdoubt the kindly and generous hospi-tality

¬

of Pensacola he fiad experien-ced

before and so had others but it°

jwas so far away that it was not al ¬

4 I ways convenient for the doctors to at-

tend Dr Pierpont mildly replied thatin his remembrance the association

l once met in Dr Porters far awaycity of Key West and surely Pensa¬

4 cola was more accessible than Keyw West Dr Porter replied that it was

true the association did once honor-is city with their presence but only

for four hours and that was whilethey were waiting for transportation

F to Havana but that his friend DrPierpont might not be disappointed in

4 his expectations he would concede to-

y his wishes with this amendment thatPensacola be named as the nextplace of meeting providing there wasan excursion to New Orleans and onlya stop of four hours be made at Pen ¬

sacola to partake of the J best fishi chowder made in the world

Ih seems that eighteen years ago theassociation met In Ocala and at that

iF gathering chose Pensacqla as its next

meeting place Dr Porter was elected-a delegate to the American Medical

f I Association to be held In ChicagoBut the doctor declined because hesaid he wanted the other fellow tchave a chance as he had been a dele-

gate¬

ti for three successive terms Henamed Dr Hodges of Gainesville whoalso declined when Dr Pierpont of

j Pensacola was named and elected andDr Rogers of JacksonvIlle was named-as his alternate-

It was then ordered that the consti-tution

bled The meeting was called to orderby Dr Lawrence who introduced theorator of the evening Dr C W Sandusky of Jacksonville who remarkedthat as the orator before the society-in Tampa had fully discussed the re ¬

+

lation of the doctor to the public hewould forbear and hasten to his owntheme which in substance was as themind thinketh so are the acts of theperson and on it made a magnificent-plea for a clean and honest con ¬

science and following it the individualwould live the life of sunshine andhappiness andthe doing of good to hisfellow man In diction it was superb-in thought and illustrations a gemThe doctor we are inclined to thinkmissed his calling as he was born-a poet before he became a disciple-of Aesculapius No synopsis could dothis justice He said that every gooddeed in a persons life would be cred-ited

¬

on the great book of life and that-a drunkard in his honest efforts toovercome his appetite deserved morepity and praise than the man whowent through life without a temptationor a drink One good actwill pleadfor justice at the bar Good seed nomatter where sown will in part beconsumed by insects and animals thatdepredate upon It yet enough will re ¬

main to spring up and bring forth-a glorious harvest so with our deeds

He showed how small a thing repu ¬

tation washow mighty was charac-ter

¬

the in all of a persons life Hescored the pessimist and extolled theoptimist who lives in the sunshine-of Gods beatitudes lie dwelled onastronomy and what it revealed ofGods unpretended power

The infidel he held up to the scornand execration of the world and thelowly follower of the despised Nazarene he eulogized to the Olive Em ¬

peror He paid a glowing tribute tohis adopted state and the sunkissedSouthland its happy homes whichsheltered loving hearts and with aprophetic eyd he foretold the greatness-and glory of this commonwealth andthe noble deeds of his selfsacrificingprofessionand made the audiencelaugh when he said he believed thetime would come when every democratwould hold office every republican re¬

ceive a pension every darky would sitand feast perpetually on melons andevery doctor get cash for every ser ¬

vice he rendered and told a very fun ¬

ny story ofN his cracker friend whostanding beside a good lightwood knotfire roasting one side while the otherfroze and vice versa

The doctor was generally applauded-for his splendid address for whichcompliment the handsome gentlemanblushed his acknpwledgements ThenDr C P Remy of Jacksonville deliv ¬

ered a lecture on the Xray withillustrations and photos and the ser ¬

vice this wonderful invention hadbeen to the M ODs of the land and thehelp it had been to injured and suffer ¬
