Vermont Is an agricultural btate , with no

claimed by local free sllverltes as bound to

The action of thi > excise board In dis
charging Mrs. Gallagher , the police matron ,

her and the board for two years' bcrvlce as

her dismissal , but tills Is In the face of a

The attendance at the convention of the
Missouri Valley Homeopathic Medical associ
ation had Increased yesterday morning over
Tuesday , and the proceedings ot the morning
session were of a nature designed
to greatly Interest the members of the
association. Among those who arrived
ore a number of noted special
ists of national reputation , who have conn ,
prepared with papers on subjects of lively In
terest to the profession , and their discussions
upon the papers read by members of the as
sociation forms n striking and very in
structive fcatuio of the proceedings , bringing
out , as they do , many advanced Ideas In
practice.
The morning session was taken up by the
bureau of burgery , of which Dr. I ) . A. Footu
of Omaha Is chairman. The papers were
well prepared and all were listened to with
the closest attention.
The first paper was read by Dr. Footo , the
subject being "Homeopathy and Surgery. "
! : combatcil the proposition advanced In
sonio ot the papers that tiieso two branches
of practice were diametrically opposed to
each other , and contendea that they were
closely related , but both must bo used with
discretion , nnd the \\lso surgeon must know
when to apply the knife ami when to refrain
from Its use. There were many cases , he
said , where the knife was ( ho only remedy ,
but ho discouraged the Indiscriminate cut
ting away of tUsue. The paper was dis
cussed at some length.
Dr. L. C. McElwco of St. Louis read n
paper on "Homo Surgery , " allowing the Im
practicability of taking all cases to a hls-
pltal and referring to many drawbacks to
the quick recovery of a patient under the
changed conditions by which he was neces
sarily Mil-rounded In suoh a place. The
paper showed ( treat lnicnu'ty In detail In
the method of performing operations In the
homo of the patient , and went very fully
Into the materials which might bo utilized
In the operation with success. The speaker
dwelt at some length upon the advantages of
careful attention which the patient would
rccclvo at homo aa competed with the di
vided attention of the nursj at a public In-
Hlltutlon. The paper was very generally
dUcussed , especially by the doctors from the
smaller towns , all of whi.m said they had
received a great many helpful hints from It
and who referred to the dlfllcultlcs under
which they labored In not having hospital *
to which patients might be caken.
USB OF TUB KNIFE DISCUSSED.
Dr. W. H. Hanchctt of Omaha read i
paper on "Appendicitis. " Ho took strotif
grounds against the use of the knife In all
cases where this dlseabb was Indicated , bit'
advocated the use of remedies. Hu con
tended that many rases might be cured with
out the use of the knlfu. although there wen
some cabca , he admitted , where an opera
tlon was necessary , but ho deprecated tin
too free iiso of the knife and advocated th <
use of medicines , citing a number of ease
In his own practice whore this method hac
been successful.
"Hernia , Its Surgical Treatment and Had
I leal Cure. " was the subject of a paper by
' Dr. William Davis Foster ot Kansas City.
This paper was a lengthy and technical doc
ument , going minutely into detail in the
treatment ot cabcs of this nature and at
tracting thu closest attention from all pres
ent. The noon hour had been reached before -
fore Its rctdlng was completed and a recess
was taken , the discussion of the paper being
deferred until this afternoon
In one of the ante-iooms opening off the
convention hall the members of the associa
tion hold clinics between the reading of
papers. The case In hand In a most Inter
esting one and i > ccms to require almost con
stant attention on the part of many of the
physicians. H Is presented to their attention
In most attractive form , being profusely
decorated and arranged In an artistic man
ner at one side of the room. The "case"
Is labeled "Malt-Nutrlno" and none of the
doctors have been entirely successful In
diagnosing Its symptoms , but this Is not
due to any lack of effort or attention on
their part , ns they have given the matter
a great deal of attention and have been
afforded c\cry facility for investigation by
the affabli- gentleman who brought the case
to the city for their Inspection.
OF INTEREST TO THE PROFESSION.
At the afternoon session yesterday Dr. E.
B. Finney of Lincoln read a paper on "Pel
vic Abscess and Its Treatment , " giving the
history of a number of cases In which ho had
performed operations , giving the details and
the results. He frankly admitted that his
treatment had not always been successful ,
and asked for suggestions from others. The
paper was very generally discussed , and the
discussion developed many methods of prac
tice.
"The Morals and Ethics of Specialism , "
by Dr. James G. Gllchrlst of Iowa City. la. ,
discussed the specialist from all sides , both
pro and con. The alleged specialist , who
jumps Into the arena as soon na ho has KC-
ciirt'd his diploma ? was handled without
gloves , and the necessity for wide experience
In general practice was emphasized.
The bureau of gynaecology WOH taken up
and two papers on thlH branch of practice
were read , Dr. O. S. Runnels of IndlanapollH
reading ono on "Puerperal Infection , "
nnd Dr. John AV. Strceter of Clil-- :
cage ono on "Treatment of Rctroverslon
of the Uterus. " Both papers were highly
Instructive , filled with suggestions and '
technical procedure , and both were followed
by animated discussions.
The bureau of orlficlal surgery was taken
up next , the chairman , Dr. L. Q. Van Scoyoc
of Kansas City reading a paper on "Orlflclal
Philosophy. " A paper by Dr. A. E. Neu-
melster of Kansas City on "Orlflclal Surgery
