(Continued from page one.) ! ratory, but some of them can not write : an ordinary letter or tell the general I facts of history correctly. The address was straight to the j point, chaste in expression required only ten minutes In delivery. Dr. Woods Hutchinson. One of the features of the morning session was the address of Dr. Woods Hutchinson of New York, the guest of the association, on preventive medicine. Dr. Hutchinson Is distin guished for his writings and addresses on this subject which he presents In popular manner adapted to the lay man's understanding. It was a par ticularly clever little speech of ten minutes In which the doctor, a man of 40, of easy and flowing address, entertained as well as instructed the assemblage. He cited with emphasis the record of Gen. Lord Kltehener's campaign again the Mahdi In which the mortality from disease was re duced to an unprecedontedly low fi gure dprd^rins that similar rcnulta could be and should be attained In civic life. "The establishment of a national department of health, its head to be a member of the president's cabinet, as advocated in the magnifi cent speech of Senator Owen of Okla homa," said Dr. Hutchinson, "is con summation that should he real, ed in the United States." Tuberculosis Diagnosis. Dr. L. H. Morse of 1 leudersonville. N. CM one of the invited speakers, followed Dr. Hutchinson with an ef fective paper on "Earlier Diagnosis of Pulmornary Consumption." Two of its effective points were the deprecation of false modesty on the part of pa tients and caution as to the infection of colored servants. The speaker laid marked stress on the latter, saying that although the danger from this latter source of infection was fairly well known in the South, it could not be too constantly stressed. "In every case where a child's nurse has a cough of any duration or other sus picious circumstances exist investiga tion should follow," he said. The Destroying Worm. "Hookworm Disease in the Negro." was the theme of a striking paper by Dr. W. .1. Hurdell of Logoff, who said, among other things, tlrnt out of 200 negroes living In an area of square miles examined by himself. ('?.?"> per cent, had symptoms of the disease. He en larged on the negro as the host and carrier of the infection, and gave as j his conclusion that fi"> per cent, of the negroes In the sand hill regions of this State have the disease, and said that the infected negroes were a menace as creating conditions that prepared the way for tuberculosis infection. Opened to general discussion. Dr. William Weston spoke briefly, endors ing in a general way Dr. Bui'dell's points. Dr. Edward T. Parker followed with a paper on "First Aid to Injured Byes,, I of great practical suggestiveness to j the profession. This paper was neces sarily more technical than most of the papers. Dr. Jervey of Greenville spoke pertinently on some of the phases of cr. Parker's paper, as diu Dr. Kollock of Charleston and Dr. Carpenter of Greenville. Dr. Charles W. Kollock next read a ! paper on "Trontment of Diseased Tonsils." This paper evoked an In teresting discussion participated in by Drs. Parker, Carpenter and S. C. Baker of Sumter. Dr. Hoheit S. Cathcart read a par ticularly interesting paper on "Un developed Lower .law." The paper treated especially of a case in Dr. Cathcart's practice. Drs. Dunn and Lclglb Dr. Charles Hunter Dunn, of Dos ton, who was on the programme lo .\d dress the convention on the subject of "The Serum Treatment of Epidemic Cerebro Spinal Meningitis." arrived in the afternoon and was the first to : peak at the after dinner session. Dr. Southgate Leigh, of Norfolk. Vn. j also arrived at 2 o'clock ami follow ed Dr. Dunn with quite an Interesting paper, which had for Its subject, "The Present Status of Cancer Education." Drs. Dunn and Leigh as visitors and Contributors to the interest of the scientific sessions were heartily thank for their addresses. "A plea for Medical Inspection of School Children in South Carolina." was tht> title of a paper, read by Dr. Edgar A. Ilines. of Seneca, in which was embraced a very full report of the work being done at Seneca along this line. Dr. W. P. Porcher, of Charles ton, spoke briefly to this paper. Dr. nines' paper has stirred perhaps greater general interests than any other of the meeting. Ho reviewed the history of school medical inspection throughout the world, allowing thai ii is a hackward movement In the South ern States, pointed out the value and necessity for it. and related the his tory of the Inspection in Seneca, where a hoard of doctors and dentists have for a year or two carried on the work. This later report gave striking facts and figures, among others that of 200 Children between the sixtff and tenth grades of the Seneca schools. 153 had a total of 600 defective teeth. Sta tistics of various otiior diseases wero given. Dr. lllnes' hope is that medical school inspection may interest the special education board lately provid ed by the legislature and finally re sult in legislation on the subject. On Dr. Weston's motion the address was referred to the committee on log. j Islatlon, with instrutlons to promote legislation on the subject. Next came Dr. Legrand Guerry, of Columbia, who presented an excellent paper on "Some of the Things the Profession Should Know About Can cer." Dr. J. Shelton Horsley., of Rich mond, one of the prominent guests of the convention addressing himself to the subject presented by Dr. Guerry, spoke of the Cancer cure from the standpoint of a surgeon. The association then adjourned to the opera house to hear Dr. Kol lock's paper on "What Has Been Done to Prevent Blindness." and Dr. A. 11. Knowlton on "Gastric and Duodenal fleers." both of which were illustrated with lantern slides. Mr. Ca inn's Lecture.

C, participated. Herl-Herl. Dr. AI leu Jervey's paper on the re cent epidemic of beri berl among con victs in Charleston received close at tention After describing the symp toms of the disease, Dr. Jervoy pre sented evidence to prove that the dis ease, although but lately recognized, is not new in the low country of South Carolina, lie quoted Dr. Strother Pope, former physician of the state peni tentiary, as having said that he has often noted symptoms in convicts from the lower part of the State similar to those now known to be of berri berri. Dr. Sosnowski of Charleston de scribed an epidemic of berri berri on a ship which came into Charleston some years ago. Dr. J. .1. Watson of Columbia had a particularly intmotive paper.
