patients, have been in some respects no less gratifying. For the future, it is proposed, whilst continuing the use of the camp for consumptives throughout the year, to enlarge the capacity and extend the scope of the summer camps so that in the current year three hundred patients may be thus provided for instead of one hundred and seventy-five as in 1903, and bedridden cases from the hospital wards and others of different types may be accommodated.

TUESDAY, APRIL 18, 1905.-FIRST SESSION. The Association convened at 10 a. m. in the Convention Hall of the Menger Hotel, San Antonio, Texas, and was called to order by the President, Dr. T. J. W. Burgess, of Montreal, Canada. An invocation was offered by Rev. E. D. Mouzon, D. D. The President introduced Dr. Marvin L. Graves, Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements, who said: "Texas will extend to her friends from the East and the West, the North and the South, a cordial greeting to-day, and I introduce to you first a gentleman who has grown somewhat gray of head in fighting the battles of organized, legitimate medicine, but whose heart, like that of Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes while living, is still young, and whose mental faculties, active and alert, present the unusual combination of maturity and wisdom with the sparkle and vigor of youth. I have the pleasure of introducing to you Dr. F. E. Daniel, President of the State Medical Association, who will welcome you for the three thousand doctors of Texas." (Applause.) Dr. Daniel spoke as follows: Mr. President, Members of the American Medico-Psychological Association, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is my privilege, my great pleasure, and a distinguished honor to welcome you in the name of my colleagues of the State Medical Association, and on their behalf I extend to you the right hand and greet you, friends and brothers, and welcome you to this Empire of the West. Texas, though only a younger member of the great sisterhood of States, is famous the world over. Who, in the remotest part of the civilized world, does not know of the Lone Star of Texas, of the battle of the Alamo? We are a happy, prosperous people, proud of our State, proud of her splendid citizenship, of her history, and proud of her institutions, her great wealth and wonderful resources, as yet scarcely touched. We are proud of her strong men and beautiful women, and proud of our State institutions. Especially |
