DR. T. C. MILLER believed in thorough narcosis, giving morphine hypodermically until the effects were noticeable on the respiration. Anæsthetics are good, but can not be given continuously. The physician giving the anæsthetic, when the convulsions cease will not crowd the anæsthetic, and almost before he is aware of it the convulsions will return. We have much to learn about the pathology of puerperal convulsions. The speaker does not believe it to be uræmic. All of his cases in which he gave narcotics thoroughly from the first recovered; cases in which he used blood-letting died. DR. VANCE believed that the treatment advised by Dr. Miller would result disastrously in many cases, and spoke at some length, showing that the latest authorities believed the true pathology of the trouble to be uræmic. DR. PIXLEY asked, after hearing so many opinions from so many distinguished speakers: “What is Dr. Pixley going to do to-night if he meets a case of puerperal convulsions? One speaker swears, if you bleed, your patient will die; another swears, if you don’t bleed, your patient will die; a third says, you must give opium; another says, you must not; another says, you must give anæsthetics; another veratrum, another cathartics.” Now, after all of this light upon the subject, he would do as he always has done—apply cold to the head, warmth to the extremities, maybe give a little opium, possibly bleed a little, equalize the circulation, and deliver as soon as possible. Some of his patients will live and some will die. DR. HOWARD submitted to the society, for signatures, a petition to the State Legislature in the interests of what is known as the “Sharpe bill,” for the creation of a State Board of Health and a State Board of Medical Examiners. Adjourned to 1:30 P. M. AFTERNOON SESSION. On motion of DR. VANCE it was decided to hold the next meeting in Cleveland, and on motion of DR. SCOTT the Cuyahoga County Medical Society was invited to meet with this society. It was also decided that, because of the session of the American Medical Association occurring in May, the meeting of this association be held on the first Tuesday in April. Drs. A. R. Baker and W. T. Corlett were appointed a committee on arrangements for the meeting in Cleveland. An election of officers for the ensuing year was held, with the following result: President, Dr. J. W. Shively of Kent; first vice-president, Dr. A. C. Belden of Akron; second vice-president, Dr. T. C. Miller of Massillon; recording secretary, Dr. L. S. Ebright of Akron; corresponding secretary, Dr. A. K. Fouser of Akron; treasurer, Dr. E. W. Howard of Akron. DR. DOUGHERTY at once relinquished the chair to his successor, and in so doing begged to be excused from the customary valedictory address because of his having lately given up the practice of medicine and being now very busily engaged in the duties of a county office.
