John M. Thurston was then intro- 2d and welcomed the delegates substan- ly as follows: maha's Wolcome, Simple and Sincere. J: have no set phrases in which to address this morning. I conceive that Omah come should b simplo as it is since: g nceive that Omaha is signally honored in ing so distinguished o body in its midst. know youcome here with your ¢ g8 of character already prepared by of your work. your high and honor Fading in the world. Gentlemen, the ¢ Omaha i8 yours and the fullness thereof. »ecially the fullness thercof. The latch ngs are always out, doors ever open, but ould advise that you steer clear of some B :hese open door And I would also call gr attention to a bible quotation whi aks of ‘strangers’ and ‘being taken i B Gentlemen, the science of medicine has de great strides since the aforetime. I irched the family bible before coming here i found therein the earliest record uhe visit of the physician recorded in 11. i ronicles, xvi., 12-18, which is as follows: ‘‘And Asa in the thirty and ninth year his reign was diseased in his feet, until s discase was excoeding great, yot in his .sease he sought not to thotfmrd, but to the <ysiclans, ' *And Asa slept with his fathers and died the one and fortieth year of his reign.’ Long continued applause.] “You are welcome to our mids! We ould like you to pay a visit to every Omaha ome, provided always that you leave your ns at home. We wish to tuke you in omes, to take you by the hand and to 11 you that we appreciate your worth, your itegrity, your intelligence. The railway urgeon is 4 modern institution. But a fow ears ago he was unknown. But whenever train goes intoa ditch the railway surgeon on hand to minister to the wants of the R jured and the dying. “We areglad tosee you here today for Bothorreason. You come here from every mlet, every village, every country. You > mot today in a city that is synonymous th American pluck, American enterprise. ju sce about you the energy that makes great nation what it is. It is this argy that builds out of nothingness a city which you meet today.

Tho ancionts believed in an Arcadian gim where man could sall on summor seas; i s that land and itis signally honored your presence in its midst.” @ the absence of Dr. Georgo Chaffee, p was to have roplied to the address of come, Dr. C. K. Colo of Montana was in- (uced to respond. Among other things id: “Inan unfortunate moment 1 ac- ed Dr. Galbraith's invitation to say a L words in response. The eloquent words . Thurston deserve a more fitting y than is possible for me at this time, genuineness of the welcome not only In Mr. Thurston, but from countless other , makes us feel that we aro among ds; for it teaches us that tho objects aims that we represent meet with your roval. We beliove that when you come to W our objects better you will more fully © us that due which ‘we deserve, This nization has had a varied experience [ has reachod its present status through ni’ trinls. In spite of efforts to kill it off, 41 leave you to judge today how well it succeaded, the assoclation which meets y will have nearly 1,000 surgeons in at- ance composed of the highest minds in medical world, At first these annual olings were regarded in tho light of junk- g tours, pleasurings at the hands of the Jroads, but the course of these meetings es the lie to such assertions. It is to be etted that wa cannot accept the numer- invitations to visit the poiuts of interest ut Omaha, but I question whother our upanies would care for us o report of ur packing houses, the lines of street rail- ys, the dimensions of your business heks ; but we are here for work, and until at work is done we feel that other consid- tions are before us. We thank you for 8 cordial welcome you have given us,” . Galbraith theu in a few words int ed the president of the association, Dr, W. P. Brock, cbief surgeon of the Chesa- @ & Ohio railroad, Richmond, Va, Presidunt Brock Speaks, ftor a short introduction congratulating association on its prosperous condition d the harmonious co-operation which ts he said: “The advance sheots of the it reports or the Interstate Commerco @mission show that the number of men npioyed o railways in the United States aping the year covered by the report was 255, being an increase of 34,984 over the evious year, Of these employes there @ro killed during the year ending June 30, P91, 2.600 and the number injured was 140. The nwnber of passengers killod was P3 and the number injured was 2,972, and ose classed as other persous bring the total jumber killod up to 7,020 and the tetal in- to 43,581, making a grand total of ed and injured of 40,910, It is also noticeablo that in spite of the et that the railways ave adding to their quipment as fast as possible all known afety devices, and that the rules rogulating he movement of trains aro as v porfoot it is possible to make them, still’ the per- tage of accidents is on the increase. Wihe report of the committee of the Amer- can Medical association on the memorial of he West Virginia State Medical society is harough, fair. impartial and conclusive, sud he action of the association thereon omplete endorsement of the railway sur- 00 of America in respect 1o their ethical tions to the profession. "While we thank this grand old mother - for her senaible and conservative action in I8 matter, w0 wish 16 disavow that we are inany sense her rival or antagonist, but rather hor handmalden, aver ready to do her hidding in all good work, and act with her in maintaining the honor and promoting the usefulness of our profession, ‘The characterization of railway com- panies as soulloss corporations is not only unjust but untrue. The companies as a rule never stop to Inquire who the injured person is or how the injury was roceived, but directs that immediate at- tention shall be rendored in every instance. Rallronds Charitable Corporations. “During the yoar ended June 30, 1501, these much abused corporations cared for about 85,000 injured people, paying all expenses in cident to their eare, board, nursing, hospital charges, surgeons fees, etc., costing them millions' of dollars in'the aggrogate. No other set of men on the face of the carth are 80 lavish in dispensing sweet charity or re- ceivo as little credit for it from the general public. Tn the face of tho foregoing facts is it not about time that the carping criticism of railway corporations as soulless corpora- tions should ceaso?”’ After paying some attention to independ- ent journalism. and the surgical department in the I y Ago, which is the official organ of the association, Dr. Brock passed to the consideration of *“Inland Quarantine.” “The rigid enforcement of the national,state and municipal quarautine laws may possibly afford us immunity from the invasion of im- ported opidemic diseases, if_harmonious co- operation can be secured. But supposs that they should bo ineffectual and cholera, yel- low fever or typhus fever should find a lodg- ment in one or more of the sea-coast cities, cannot something be done to prevent the in- :.rull\n'lh)n of theso scourges into tho inter- or? “T think that much can be accomplished In this direction, and it behooves us as the medical representatives of the great rail- roads of the country to formulate some gen- eral plan to be submitted to the manage- ments for their guidance in this matter. “If wo can_accomplish something on this line we will have done much, very much to strengthen the bond of union between tho railways and our association from o business slnndtolub, and will have added immeasurably ' to the safety, health and happiness of all the inland sections of our country, past experiences having shown thatepidemics follow the lines of travel.” Of Clinieal Cara. In discussing separate cars for the sick the president said: “Would it not be prac- ticable to fit, cars with compartmen, tseach compartment having all_conveniences for the sick, with sleeping berths for the ix- valids and attendants, and let it be known that one of these cars would leave, say Boston, New York, Chicago, St. Louis or Cincinnati on certain days and that the sik would be transported on one of these cars only. I think iv probable that the comfort and convenience of such an_arrangement would soon place them in great demand and would pay the companies using them handsomely. = Human beings, born to immortality, arc entitled to as much rotection as the dumb beast, but it is not ded to them by the laws governing the nsportation of the country. In this con- nection there comes tous a valuable hint from the Car Journal, and it i3 this: That this association appoint delegates to the Master Builders association to con- sider with them the material to be used in hanging and in upholstering and furmishing coaches. The use of such fabrics as will be least linble to receivo and retain disease- breeding gorms, and will admt of being thoroughly cleaned and disinfected is much to be desired. The Panamerican medical congress re- ceived considaration at his hands, as did also the tariff of fees, one sentence of which stood out most' prominently: “We stand for reciprocity, a tariff for revenue, good money and plenty of it, and for our share honestly earned.’’ The railway surgical corps, the hospital plan, which has been tho subject of much thought at the hands of surgeons much in- terested in hospital work, received exhaus- tive treatment at the hands of the speaker, who said: “Therailway hospital plan is another admir- able western product and we of the east are glad to sit at the feet of these western Gam- aslielsand learn of them how to do these great things. Mr. Groeley's adyice to the young man to go west may be fotlowed wih great benefit by railway surgeons from the older sections of our country, and when they have seen the superb hospitals and the prac- tical workings of the system they will say as tho queen of Shoba said after sceing tho spleudors of King Solomon, that the half had not been told.” After paying a pleasant tribute to the southern brethren, to the prosident of the United States for having so many south- erners in his cabinet, he closed by saying: Has a Patrlotlo Mission, “I know of no better means of fostering and maiutaining a spirit of patriotic devotion to our wonderful republic than the assembling of the people in_national associations of va. rious kinds, civil, religious, political and soi- entific. Let theso be the Meccas from which shall emanate a spirit of mutual forbearance, the volce of encouragement, the sentiment of devotion to country and a fratérnity that is a pledgo of nationality now and thé hope of its perpetuity. And let this great organiza- tion of ours ever be mindful of the fact that one of her missions is to keep the lamp of Americanism always burning on her altar, and moy its rays permeate every portion of our country, shedding their luster on happy, peaceful, prosperous and contented homes, and may the blessing of the Great Physician ever rest upon us,” Dr. J. B. Murdock of Pittsburg, the oldest ex-prosident living, then excited a great laugh by remarking that in the ola days Virginia was regarded as the mother of presidents, and from what had just been said ke was glad to know that the old lady was still prolitic. After the great applause had subsided Dr. Murdock moved a vote of thanks to tho president and that the ad- dress should form part of the procoedings, which prevailed. President Brock announced the following as the committee on nominations: Drs, T, H. Manloy, New York; W. R. Blakesleo, Ponnsylvania; J. B. Mur&hy. cago; C. D. Evans, Nebraska; . J. Maynard, Cheyenne; C. K. Cole, Montana, and A, A. Thompson, Texas. Dr. J. M. Dinnen,secretary of the executivo commitiee, then read the report of the executive committee. Dr. Brock u‘}ipamlt'd on the president's address Drs. Ward, Cole and Outten. Thon followod the routino of the conven- | tion looking to the payment of dues and matters connected with the opening of the session. Adjourned until 2 o'clock, When Doctora Disagreed. The afternoon session was characterized by a much largerattendance, including many ladies. The session was called to ordor promptly at 2 o'clock. ny took a back seat for about thirty minutes, but finally came forward and all was serene. ‘The ‘‘doctors disagreed” aver the adoption ! of a resolution introduced by Dr. Dougherty of Kansas, which provided for the publica- tion of the official proceediugs in book form or in some medical journal. This was a di- sect thrust at the Railway Age, the present ofcial organ. It precipitated a warm de- bate. Motions and amendments came thick and fast that the chairman was bewildered. There were mo- tions to the front of him, amendments to the right of him, while points of order danced ail around him. He was completely hemmed in by tho uproar of parliamentary scientists, Sentiment on the adoption of the resolu. tion was divided. Some of the delogates wanted to shirk the responsibility and refer it o a committee, The suggestion was over- whelmingly lost. Dr. Murphy of St made & strong speech for harmony. Dy, Rice of Indiana was in favor of allowing the la murk of i York City, was introduced. Paul | convention to settle the matter at once without reference to any committes. Dr, Bayne of Ohio, Dr. Ontten of Missouri and Dr. Stemen proceded to volos their senti. monts. In the midat of the battle, Dr. Reed of Ohlo walked to the platform and made convinoing speech In favor of the present agreement with tho Railway Age, which has A department devoted tothe association. The speech met popular approval and Dr. Reed's sentiments were ratified when the Dougherty resolution was voted down, Solence Sapreme in the Session. Regular ordar of business having been called for and the clouds of war been lifted, Dr. Paul F', Eive, surgeon of the Louisville & Nashvilio railroad, of Nashville, Tenn., read a carefully propared paper on the re- port of a case of contusion of the back and abdomen, followed in five months with intestinal lesions—an accident quite common to railroad trainmen in making up trains. Dr, W. B, Outton of St Louls, n opeaing the discussion, thought that the case should not go without notice, because the lucid ex- planation of Dr. Eve was something quite | rare in the practice of the American surgeon. He characterized the paper as being remark- ably able and opening up new lines of thought for the railway surgeon. Dr. G. P. Conn of New Hampshire, in the absence of Dr. Robert Burns, surgeon of the Concord & Montreal railroad, who was down for a paper on the report of a caso of frac. ture of the astragalus, read an abstract of the paper prepared by Dr. Burns, Dr. G. \N F. Kemper of Muncie, Ind,, offered a motion that the papers of any gen- tlemen who are absent be referred to the secretary and that those gentlemen present who have papers to read be given prefer- ence. Dr. George Ross, chief surgeon of the Richmond & Danville railroad, then read the first paper bearing upon the special sub- Ject for the convention's consideration— “‘The Spinal Cord and Its Envelopes With- out Fracture of the Spine"—treating the history of the subject. Dr. J. H. Murphy of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha began the discussion of the question by saying that as Dr. Ross had read entirely too fast ho desired to en- dorse all that the physician had said. The question, he remarked, was like spiritualism, the more you studied it the less you knew about it. " Dr. Briggs of Michigan said that the ques- tions raised in the paper were probably of far more importance than any others likely to occupy the time of the convention. He hoped tvhat the association would not go by the question without some precedents being established by the body. Committees on President's Address. ‘“‘Anatomical Landmarks” was Dr. Jabez N. Jackson's subject, developing the second head of “Injuries to the Cord and Its En- velopes.” ““Physiology of the Spinal Cord” by Dr. A. P. Grinnell, chief surgeon of the Céntral Vermont railroad, wasa thoroughly able paper, written, as the doctor said.to re- fresh the minds of those who had little to do with that vital function of the body, yet entering so largely in the claims for damages st the raflroads. The exccutive committee recommended the following committees on the president's addres Relative to Formation of Section on Rail- way Surgery of the American Medical Asso- ciation—Outten, Galbraith and Reed. Relative to Inland Quarantine—Thorn, Yancey and Montmollin, Relative to Special Cars for the Sick— Coun, Stemen and Nugent, Relative to Panamerican Congress— Brock, Cole, Murphy of St. Paul, Murdock and Manloy. Relative to Cars for Sick and the Hospital Plan—Murphy of Chicago, Rogers and Drake. A letter from the National Baggage Men's association was presented by the president regarding rules for the transportation of dead bodies and that certain rules be made for their ruhlzmcu. Dr. A. R. Lewis of Kansas City stated that the Baggage Men's association asked that rules be madeso that vodies could be trans- ported through without exposure at point of destination. Dr. Burton of Indiana said the railroads were not at fault, but the various boards of health of the several states in making laws vitally different in their subject matter. As a committee on the subject of uniferm- ity in the transportation of dead bodies the president appointed Drs. Fry, Lewis and Bowman of Kansas City. Dr. Galbraith, in making announcemont of tho special excursions arranged for the surgeons, Hot Springs and the Loop, was led into an exposition of the varled attrac- tions of these “show” places in the west. He desired to know jusi exactly how man, people would like to go to Hot Springs, D. But before any action was taken the matter was postponed until this morning, when all the members of the association are expected to express their preferences on slips of paper and hand the same to Dr. Galbraith. Adjourned until 8 o'clock, Eveulng Session, There was hardly a vacant seat on tho first floor of Exposition hall when President Brock called the evening session to order, Before proceeding with the regular order of business, the secretary aunounced that Dr. Hitchcock of the Michigan State Medical society had reached the city and was in attendance upon the convention. As respect to the doctor he was invited to a seat upon the platform, By a unanimous vote the convention decided to allow all members of reputable medical societies the, privileges of the floor in the discussion of debatable subjects. Dr. Thomas H. Manley, surgeon of the Central Park East & West failroad of New He read a paper upon the special subject begun during the afternoon scssion, treating oxperimental research on the theme. His paper was very exhaustivo, Surgery, he said, | was a physical science, through the study of which morbid forms grew more clear and spinal discases had become better under- stood. In most cases spinal injuries resulted in injuries to the vital organs, as the spine was 30 deeply soated it was next to impossi- ble to iniuw it severely without affecting the heart, kidueys and intestines. Expericucos upon the lower animals could throw but little light upon the subject; some of the injuries were real, while many were mere shams; instruments for the purpose of making tests wore of but littlo use, unless the attending physician or surgeon ' knew that his patient was telling the truth, It iv were nos for the buffers, the spine would be in continued danger of serious damages; In the case of shocks, the cavities threw off the force of the concussion before the spime would suffor, With the close of Doctor Manley's paper, he was tendered a vote of thanks ob account of the excelleuce of the document, Toduy's Program, This is the program for the threo sessions today, at 108, m, 2 p. m. and 8 p, m: .
