PROCEEDINGS OF ANNUAL AND SEMI-ANNUAL MEETINGS. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the society was held at the office of Dr. Hocking, Getty House, Yonkers, January 25, 1871. The president and vice-president of last year, were unanimously re-elected, and Dr. Hocking was chosen secretary and treasurer, vice Dr. Fanning, resigned. The thanks of the society were tendered to the retiring secretary for his long continued and efficient services. Dr. Flagg reported verbally an interesting case of encephaloid in the orbit of the right eye, which was almost entirely painless. Externally it presented, at first, symptoms of conjunctivitis, then of hypopium, but afterwards the eyeball was pushed half out of its socket and disorganized to a great extent. It was then removed, together with the encephaloid mass that filled the posterior half of the orbit. The patient recovered so as to attend to business for a short time, but the extension of the disease to the nose and surrounding portions of the face soon proved fatal. At no time was the cancerous growth attended with pain. Dr. Flagg also reported two cases of placenta prævia, in which flooding had taken place to a desperate extent, previous to his arrival. The two cases were successfully delivered by turning, the child being dead in each case. One mother recovered slowly, suffering intensely from headache. The other who had been poisoned by eating toad stools and had the dropsy, died in two days after. A case of puerperal convulsions during labor, continuing after manual delivery, was cured by stramonium2c. The resolutions of the Albany County Homoeopathic Medical Society, in regard to the removal of Dr. Stillman Spooner from the office of examining pension surgeon, were presented, and unanimously adopted. It was also, Resolved, That they be published in some of the papers of this county. On motion of Dr. Jones, it was Resolved, That the regular meetings of this society be hereafter held in Yonkers.
