1. To so change the constitution of the State Society as to make the members of county societies members of the State Society simply by virtue of their local membership. 2. Present members of the State Society to remain members without reference to membership in local societies. 3. All members to stand upon an equal footing, thus doing away with the delegate system. 4. All papers to be presented to the State Society must first be presented to the local society, by which it may be referred to the State Society. ---------- MEDICAL PRACTICE BILL. A bill to establish a medical board of examiners and licenses, and to regulate the practice of medicine and surgery in the State of Ohio, and to define the duties and powers of such board, will be presented to the Legislature of Ohio.

All candidates for the practice of medicine in Ohio shall submit to an examination by this board. 4. None but graduates in medicine and surgery shall be eligible to examination. 5. Licenses may be refused or revoked for criminal or dishonorable conduct. 6. Graduates at present practicing in the State may continue without submitting to an examination, but must register in the office of the probate judge. These are the essential features of the bill, and on the whole good. It does not interfere with physicians already in practice, which has caused the failure of nearly every bill presented to the Ohio Legislature becoming a law. Excluding college professors from becoming members of the board is fair to the profession, and saves the bill from being the tool of the medical colleges, unlike the Pennsylvania law, and yet it does not ignore the medical schools entirely as educational and graduating bodies, like the Illinois and West Virginia laws. It is impracticable, even if desirable, to ignore denominational lines in medical legislation. ---------- PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF YOUNG GIRLS.
