Medical News [excerpt]

Owing to reports bombarding members and gleening [sic] from dropped words here and there at the interum [sic] of sessions, and publishing the same as official, the president, Dr. Heber Robarts, St. Louis, Mo., introduced the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted: [679][680]
“Resolved, That this society assembled express its deepest sense of sorrow for the recent affliction inflicted upon William McKinley, our president of the United States; that our society has profound confidence in the wisdom and ability of the great surgeons in charge, and condemn any and all unkindly remarks that have unfortunately, been publicly or privately expressed concerning the uses of the Roentgen rays, relying, as we do, on mitigating circumstances, known to the surgeons only.
“Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be stricken off and sent to Dr. Roswell Park, a member of the society.”

[omit]

MEDICAL SOCIETY OF THE MISSOURI VALFEY [sic].

The fourteenth annual session of this society convened in St. Joseph on Thursday, September 19, President Treynor in the chair. After passing resolutions on the death of the president, the society adjourned to allow its members to attend the McKinley memorial services.
