Morgan (Nashville, Tenn.) moved that if

Dr. Catching suggested that if there were any voluntary papers on the subject not in the hands of the committee
they be produced at once.
Dr. Winkler begged that they come up "like little

Prof. J. B. Hodgkin (Baltimore) said that he would
like to stay at Old Point Comfort till Christmas, but it
could not be. He moved that the subject be passed if
there was nothing further to be said.
Dr. Marshall (Little Rock, Ark.,) read a paper entitled

that a nerve bristle could not enter, there was not enough
nerve fibre to fear.
If a drill could enter, then it should be
filled. He uses a carbolized wooden peg, driven to the

seal the apex would answer the purpose. If a child of
