turn of mind may desire to investigate those mysterious decoctions known only to the Milwaukee dispensers of liquid refreshments, and while a few, or perhaps a good many, may desire to quench their thirst in that liquid which has made Milwaukee famous, yet it will all be done in decency and order. I desire further to say to you, and I say it with all modesty, that while we appreciate to the full the hospitality of your good city, we feel that in a measure, to use a good old country expression, we have brought our welcome with us. We have gathered together to worship at the shrine of science which we are about to erect in this beautiful edifice so kindly placed at our disposal. We have come together from the ozoneladen shores of the mighty Superior, from the pine forests of the northern and central portions of our State, from the bluffs and rich bottom-lands of the Wisconsin and the Mississippi. From the historic valley of the Fox, from the broad prairies and oak-openings of the western and southern portions of our State, and from the fertile lands and prosperous towns overlooking our ever-beautiful Lake Michigan. From every city, from every town, from every hamlet, have come devotees bringing gifts to this shrine, more precious than gold and silver and fragrant oils. From this accumulation of knowledge and its diffusion, great good must necessarily come, not only to this community, but to every community represented. Mr. President, we wish you good health and prosperity and long life, and we sincerely thank you for your welcome. The report of the Committee of Arrangements was then presented by Dr. G. E. Seaman, chairman, as follows: Your Committee of Arrangements begs leave to report as follows: By courtesy of the Common Council the meetings will be held in the Council Chamber, as announced in the program, and the Committee believes that this will prove a more suitable place for meeting than could be found at any of the hotels. The Milwaukee Medical Society tenders a smoker to the members of the State Society at their rooms, 8th floor Goldsmith building, corner Wisconsin and Jefferson streets, Wednesday, to-night, at 8:30 o'clock. The occasion will be entirely informal and is sure to be one of good fellowship, and you are all cordially urged to be present. Dr. and Mrs. William Mackie, 1103 Grand avenue, tender a reception to the members of the Society and the ladies on Thursday afternoon from 4:00 to 7:30, instead of from 5:30 to 7:30, as announced in the program. It is believed that some of the ladies at least would prefer to go earlier than 5:30 o'clock. This will nicely fill in the time between the adjournment Thursday P. M. and the annual dinner, which is set for 8:30 o'clock Thursday evening, at the St. Charles Hotel. The Anniversary Chairman, Dr. Earles, has arranged an exceptionally good program, good music has been provided for, and we have every promise of an enjoyable time. Tickets for the dinner at $1.00 per plate may be secured from the treasurer, Dr. Hall, and it is suggested that those desiring tickets apply for them promptly. St. Mary's Hospital, corner North avenue and Lake drive, and Milwaukee Hospital, 22nd and Cedar streets, extend a cordial invitation to the members to visit them at any convenient time. The superintendents of the County Hospital and the Hospital for the Insane at Wauwatosa extend an invitation to the members of the Society to visit these institutions. They may be reached by Wauwatosa street car. Our old friend, Dr. Almon Clarke, surgeon at the National Soldiers' Home, extends an invitation to the Society to visit the hospital of that institution. The Milwaukee Health Department has prepared an exhibit illustrating its bacteriological, pathological and sanitary work. Dr. Schultz, the Commissioner of Health, extends a cordial invitation to all to visit and inspect the department, sixth floor, City Hall, at any hour between 9:00 A. M. and 5:00 P. M. The Bon Ami club, located on the first floor of the St. Charles Hotel, tenders the courtesies of the club to the members of the Society during the meeting. The trade exhibits, in the usual number and profusion, are located at the St. Charles Hotel, where you may be entertained, instructed and sampled to your heart's content. The members are requested to present railway certificates to Assistant Secretary, Dr. C. H. Stoddard, as early as possible, in order that the necessary number may be made up and return rates secured. If there is anything that the Committee of Arrangements has omitted I am privileged to state that we are at all times at the command of the Society. The President: I trust we will all be able to do justice to the many things provided for our amusement. The report, if there is no objection, will be accepted. Now we will listen to the report of the Program Committee, Dr. Edward Evans, Chairman. Dr. Evans then presented the following program: ORDER OF PROCEEDINGS.
