but the old guard of Denver Homeopathic will be pleased to note his arrival at last.

The Providence (R. I.) Journal, of Sunday, June 11th, contained a full front page feature giving the American Institute of Homeopathy a pretty thorough write-up. From all appearances the press committee of the meeting now in session at Narragansett Pier, is on the job.

Doctors Smythe and Mastin, after a tenantry of eight years in the Majestic Building, Denver, will be located in the new addition of the Mack Block, corner of California and Sixteenth streets, rooms 717-18-19, on and after July 15th. Each will retain his old office hours in the new location and the telephone number will remain as heretofore, Main 248.

The Woman's Southern Homeopathic Hospital of Philadelphia has vacancies for two young women as Resident Physicians. The experience is excellent, both in the Out Practice and in the Hospital proper, which has Maternity, Medical and Surgical Departments. Doctors who wish further information should write at once to the Superintendent,

DR. LYDIA WEBSTER STOKES, 724 Spruce St., Philadelphia, Pa.

Denver has had several medical conventions during the past month. The tuberculosis experts have been here and left a trail of protection of the people talk behind them which had better be forgotten with much promptness. It is too bad that bunch could not have been induced to assemble here while the fight on the tuberculosis bill was pending; what a beautiful lot of brainy ideas would have been presented to show that registration restricts.

GOOD THINGS IN PHYSICAL CULTURE FOR JUNE.

Among the many interesting contributions in Physical Culture's June number are "The Place of Baseball in the Nation's Health," and "Rowing a Health-Building Sport," and an article by Upton Sinclair on "Returning to Nature," which breathes the very spirit of life outdoors. Of no less interest, perhaps, are the instructive discussions in this issue on "The Milk Diet and How It Builds Health and Strength," and "The Food Value of Nuts." Members of the fair sex will find much that is worth while in articles entitled "Thing Every Woman Should Know," and "Helpful Beauty Hints for Women," in this issue. A score of other well written and profusely illustrated articles on "Outdoor Life and Health-Building" round out this remarkably interesting number of a publication that is always readable and thought-compelling.

SOCIETY OF HOMEOPATHICIANS.

The Society of Homeopathicians held its second annual meeting in Chicago, 24th-26th of May. Representatives were present from Chicago, Aurora and Galesburg, Ill.; Davenport, Iowa; Portland, Ore.; New York City; Philadelphia and Harrisburg, Penn.; Pomeroy, Ohio; and letters were read from London, Eng.; Glasgow, Scotland; Tubingen, Prussia; Bengal, India; Houston, Texas; Boston, Mass.; Brewer, Maine; Washington, D. C.; Pittsburg, Penn., and Louisville, Ky. The society was

strongly urged by those in charge of the International Congress in London, to give the congress as much as possible in contributions and representatives.

The president's address was unanimously voted a special contribution to the Bureau of Science and Art of Homeopathy, in the Congress. All papers and discussions during the three days' session were marked by intense enthusiasm and devotion for the principles of Homeopathy as promulgated by Samuel Hahnemann. Remarkable results were reported of the use of medicines according administered to the law of similars based on the doctrines in their purity. Three applicants for membership were approved and received. Officers for the coming year were elected without any variation from those of the preceding year.

The program included papers by Jas. T. Kent, A. Eugene Austin, J. C. Holloway, G. E. Dienst, Frederica E. Gladwin, Julia C. Loos, Guy B. Stearns, K. N. Banerjee, in the bureau of Philosophy of Homeopathy, Materia Medica and Clinical Medicine. Chairman of Bureau for next year were appointed as follows: Philosophy, F. S. Keith; Materia Medica, S. B. Hanlin; Clinical Medicine, F. E. Gladwin; Repertory, W. W. Sherwood.

CONGRESS VISITORS.

We have already received the names of sixty American and Continental physicians who intend to be present at the Congress. The number will certainly be added to before July 17th, and we confidently hope to reach three figures in our visitors alone. Our colleagues of Great Britain must make a special effort to attend, that the numbers for our own country may at least equal those of our guests. From among these visitors the Congress hopes to elect its honorary officers, with the addition of some of our own colleagues whom we desire to honor without laying upon them the burden of actual supervision of meetings. Congress is unlikely however to ratify the appointment of any physician who is not present, so that we hope the honour that is to be paid will prove an additional reason to intending visitors not to disappoint us.

We hope to install Dr. McClelland, the President of the last International Congress, as an acting Vice-President with Dr. Burwood and Dr. Neild, but for the rest we hope to give to some of our guests honorary office without laying upon them much responsibility. The following are suggested for office; the list can be added to of course on or before July 17th.

Hon. Presidents of Congress-Dr. J. W. Hayward, Dr. Sutherland, Dr. Biggar, Dr. Etienne Boyer, Dr. J. W. Ward, Dr. Leon Brasol.

Hon. Vice-Presidents-Dr. W. T. Ord, Dr. G. Clifton, Dr. H. Nankivell, Dr. Cartier, Dr. Tessier, Dr. M.

NEW HOMEOPATHIC HOSPITAL IN BUFFALO.

It is estimated that not less than 5,000 persons visited the Buffalo Homeopathic Hospital, Lafayette and Elmwood avenues, Sunday afternoon, the occasion being the formal dedication of that splendid institution for the care of suffering humanity. From 2 o'clock until 6 o'clock there was a constant stream of visitors, none of whom could say enough of admiration and praise for the magnificant building and its appointments.

President William H. Crosby and other members of the board of directors were the recipients of the warmest congratulations from the thousands of visitors. The general comment was that the new hospital is a model of its kind that will compare favorably with any in the country of equal capacity.

The dedicatory services, while brief and simple in nature, were impressive and were listened to with rapt attention. They included appropriate remarks by the Rev. Dr. Samuel Vanvranken Holmes of Westminster Presbyterian Church, and the Rev. Dr. Charles Jessop, rector of the Church of the Ascension, Episcopal. The speakers dwelt on the charitable nature of the enterprise, and the splendid spirit of philanthropy in which the Buffalo Homeopathic Hospital had its inception and of which the magnificent building dedicated yesterday is the latest manifestation. A pleasant part of the programme was the singing of the choir boys from the Church of the Ascension.

The reception was in charge of a committee of which Mr. W. H. Crosby was chairman, the other members being Mrs. Ernest Montgomery, Mrs. E. J. Barcalo and Edith Donaldson.

Many friends of the new hospital sent liberal offerings of flowers which lent both fragrance and beauty to the scene. They seemed especially in keeping with the unusually bright rooms and corridors, which are one of the most noticeable features of the institution.

The building forms three sides of a hollow square, the fourth side to be added later on, and is equipped in a thoroughly up-to-date and efficient manner. There is accommodation for 141 patients at present, and when the new wing is added its capacity will be doubled. On the roof is a garden with all conveninces at hand. This will be of inestimable value to convalescing patients.

The capacity of the new Homeopathic Hospital is 141 patients, and there are no distinction as to sex, age or color so far as the patients are concerned.

So far the hospital represents an investment of $278,000, all but $50,000 of which has been paid. This deficit will be met in part by the sale of the old hospital building in Maryland street. A successful feature of the hospital, which will continue to be equally prominent in the new, is the training school for nurses.-Hospital Leaflet.

DENVER HOMEOPATHIC MEDICAL SOCIETY.

Under date of June 12th, 1911, Secretary Dodge of the Denver Homeopathic Club, sent out the following notice: "Dear Doctor: The second meeting of the Denver Homeopathic Medical Society will be held at the Shirley Hotel next Friday evening, June 16th, at 8 o'clock. It is a duty you owe yourself and the profession to make it your business to be present at that meeting.

We want you with us in the beginning of the impending struggle in the medical arena at this, the crisis, for the prolongation—yes, the very existence of our School in this City, of which you, as a member, have been signally benefitted; and now, when all loyal members of the various sects and parties are uniting or organizing and planning for the political battles to be fought in the near future, it is not only necessary, but imperative that we unite and form a solidarity impregnable.

You may evade the vital issue and say that many previous meetings of the local organizations have been dull or uninteresting, and you may have thought one-sided perhaps, to the advantage of few, and rather than protest you have remained silent or absented yourself from the meeting of the Society.

Now, to correct this fault, if any, show the members by your presence that you at least are willing to lend us your aid in the building up of this organization. These meetings are for you, your welfare as well as others, attend and thus make them interesting.

Let us hoist the homeopathic banner higher than it has ever floated in the west, and each add our mite for the advancement of the good cause through which we have already prospered, mentally, morally, and financially. DON'T FAIL TO BE PRESENT. NUMBERS COUNT, and where the attendance is large the time is always well spent. COME. Let us meet upon a broad platform embodying the principles of a universal professional brotherhood, forgetting our petty, trivial differences and opinions, and stand shoulder to shoulder in the fight for a United Homeopathic Association and the uplifting of the entire local profession. Yours for similia first, last and all the time.

H. T. DODGE, Secretary."

Notwithstanding the urgent call just quoted but few members were present, yet what few were there transacted business in an expeditious manner and adjourned to meet at Elitch's Garden sometimes this month, at which time a "picnic" will be on the program, to which all are most cordially invited.

Included with the unfinished business of the second meeting was the completion of the by-laws and constitution. At the first meeting a few of the members objected to section 2, article I, which read: "Object of Society: The object of this society shall be the promotion of Homeopathy." At the meeting of June 16th, this was adopted with the addition thereto of "and allied sciences."

President Palmer hopes the next meeting will draw a good crowd and will do everything in his power to promote the "picnic."

Several new members were added to the list at the last meeting; quite a goodly number of the older element were present. and, taking everything into consideration, the prospects for good work by this society become brighter every meeting.
