1890.
Cortland County Medical Society.
The eighty-second annual meeting of the Cortland
County Medical Society was held in the Supervisors' rooms at Cortland, June 12,

Clark of Cuyler, Dr. S. P. Allen of Whitney's Point and Dr. L. G. Smart of Marathon.

Dr. George D. Bradford was elected a
committee of one to purchase books for the library of the society.
Dr. Angel, the retiring President, delivered
his annual address which was an able and masterly paper, setting forth the
dangers of patent medicines, and the caution physicians should use in
recommending them. Discussion followed, Drs. Hendricks and Allen taking part.
Upon motion, a resolution was unanimously adopted, tendering thanks to the
retiring President for the able and impartial manner in which he has presided
over their deliberations for the past year and his able address.
Dr. S. P. Allen of Whitney's Point presented
a paper on "Chronic Bright's Disease with Result of Treatment,"
setting forth the obscurity of its onset and the great benefit derived from the
treatment followed by him, of Japorandi, Digitalis, Nux
Vomica, with Squibb's Tr. of Iron, giving a complete report of three cases of Parachymateous
degeneration, cured by foregoing treatment. Discussion of the paper followed
and was participated in by Drs. Hendricks, Bradford and Smart.
A resolution of thanks from the society was
tendered Dr. Allen for his able and efficient paper.
Dr. Geo. D. Bradford of Homer, presented a
carefully written paper on "A
Case of
Strangulated Inguinal Hernia with Operation," showing that taxis should
not be carried to such a degree as to increase strangulation before operation;
that age should not alone prevent Herniotomy, as his patient's age was 76
years. In the discussions which followed, Dr. Allen brought out a rule laid
down by the late Dr. Hyde, of dilating the abdominal ring forcibly with the
finger before resorting to taxis.
The subject of the advisability of the
society holding at least one meeting in the year, in neighboring villages was
brought under discussion and it was referred to a committee of three,
consisting of Drs. Reese, Bradford and Hendricks, who will decide where the
next meeting will be held. Dr. S. B. Clark of Cuyler was elected a member of
the society.

Sheely will take Beach's route.

Cornell Scholarship Contest.
Six candidates presented
themselves at the Court House in competitive examination for the State
scholarship at Cornell University, June 7. The papers have been carefully
looked through, and from the school commissioners we learn the result is very
satisfactory. The standing is Karl M. Wiegand, Truxton, 276 1/2 points out of a
possible 800; Orrie P. Cummings of Homer, 272 1/2; Harry Place, Cortland, 250 1/2;
Thomas H. Dowd, Cortland, 229; Lloyd S. Ingalls, Cortland, 185 1/2. Last year
the highest number of points attained by any candidate was 261. The papers were
entirely different this year. The papers have been forwarded to Albany, where
the examiners may, yet it is thought they will not, change the marking.
