H. Bradford of Boston, which was followed by a discussion by Dr. V. P. Gibney of New York and Dr. Harry M. Sherman of San Francisco. At the conclusiow of the remarks of Dr. Sherman the American Surgical Associa- tion will take charge of the exercises, and there will be a genervl meeting under its direction. The subject chosen for consid- eration is “Fhe Clussification of Acute General Peritonitis; the Prognosis and Treatment of the Different Varieties.” Dr. Nicholas Senn of Chicago will read 4 paper on the classification and Dr. Robert Abbe of New York city on the prognosis and treatment of the different varieties.

Dr. Welch's Address, The subject of Dr. Welch's address was “Adaptation in Pathological Processes,” a title which, he said, he preferred to the one previously..chosen. for his subject, which was “Compensatory and Protective Processes.” The address, which was tech- nical and scientific in its character, was listened to with marked attention by a large audience, and at the close there was loud and long-continued applause. From the theater the audience proceeded to the Arlington, to attend the reception to the president of the congress by the mem- bers of that body.

Despite the inclemency of the weather yesterday afternoon hundreds of persons went to the Smithsonian Grounds to wit- ness the ceremonies attending the unveil- ing of the statue which had been erected by the physicians and surgeons of the country to the late Dr. Samuel D. Gross, the celebrated surgeon. The frequent showers of rain prevented the holding of the exercises in the open air, and the speaking took place in the lecture room of the Army Medical Museum, which was crowded to repletion with distinguish- ed persons, among them being most of the members of the medical congress now in session in Washington, and scores of »rom- inent residents of other cities who had come to the national capital in honor of the occasion. : After prayer by Rev. B. l. Whitman, D. D., president of Columbian University, Dr. Claudius H. Masten of Mobile, Ala., made an address, at the close of which he, on behalf of those who had raised the money to erect the monument, presented it to the government. Dr. Masten’s »peech was a masterly effort, and comprised an interesting history of the life of Dr. Gross, in which mention was made of the most noted achievements of the latier for the cause of medicine and surgery. The life and work of Dr. Gross were reviewed at length by Dr. W. W. Keen, the successor of Dr. Gross in the chair of surgery at Jefferson Medical College. Gen. Sternberg’s Address. Surgeon General Sternberg, in acecpting the monument for the government, made a speech, in the course of whicn he in part said: “It appears to me to be especially appropriate that this statue of our great American surgeon is placed here In close proximity to the Army Medical Museum and-Lfbrary building, a Mbrary in which, no doubt, can be found all of his own valu- able contributions to surgical literature, and which is a storehouse of information for all those who, liks him, combine. with the skill and boldness of the surgeon an ardent desire for the advancement of the profession and indefatigabie industry in the literary researches required of one who has obtained prominence as a teacher and leader in any branch of medicine. “In the same building is the extensive collection of pathological specimens in the Army Medical Museum, a colleetion in which Prof. Gross tovuk the greatest inter- est. Very many of the specimens collected. during the civil war show the results of wound infection, and serve rather to ilu: trate the disastrous consequences of meth- ods which had the approval of surgeons of that day than as examples of successful surgery. “Certainly the greatest achievements of modern surgery are those which relate tu the saving of life and limb by conservative operations, and the exclusion from wounds of those ubiquitous micro-organisms which in the past have destroyed more lives then have bullets or sabers. 2 “In accepting, as I do, for the govern- ment this. tribute of American surgeons to @ revered master, I beg leave to congratu- Tate A. committee se has had the mat- ter in charge upon successful comple- tion of" their labor of love. “No doubt they have found the task im- posed upon them Beset with many difficul- Judge Henry H, Goldsborougb, Baltimore, Md., sys: “It gives ig agen od vation Oil to any one ‘from seule ie tles, and the success achieved has been at the expense of mych solicitude, extensive fort, especially on, the part of the chairman of the committee: : “It is eminently fit that this. statue should have been erected here in a public park at the national capital, where for cen- turies to come those who,yisit this spot Inay read the name of Gross.and learn that during the first century.of American inde- pendence there lived ~, grgat surgeon of that name, whose chagacter and achleve- ments commanded the; admiration of his contemporaries.” Final Meetings.
