ALL FOR LOVE OF SCIENCE Great Meeting oflbe Mississippi Valley Medical Association at Evansville.

Indiana s Prominent Part in theflistorj of the Society Unnting the Deadly Bacillus Tuberculosis to His Lair-Discussions. Portal to the Indianapolis Journal. Evansville, Ind., Sept. 12.-Tho old Trietate Medical .Society held its greatest season in September, lssf. in Indianapolis, 'with a three days meeting and the reading of fifty medical papers. The success of that year was so great under tho nurturo of Indiana physicians that the three States, Illinois. Imliaiia and Ohio. were beseeched to tako in the entire Mississippi alley, which they charitably and fraternally did, rechristening the society as tho "Mississippi Valley Medical Association." It is purely of Hoosier birth, as its tirst and second meetings wero at Vincennes in 1875 and 1870. The ono closed today was the fourth Evansville meeting, "while Terre Haute and Indianapolis have t ach been honored by its presence. Eight of tho fifteen meetings have been in Indiana, and Drs. B. F. SwalVord, J. II. Hib.leid, A. M. Owen, F. W. Beard and George J. Cook havo been its Indiana presidents. Each State, of course, has its own State lnedical organization, that of Indiana being the most perfect in the Union. The object of the Mississippi Valley Association is to have a great annual scieutitic medicalmeeting, with all the time, two or three days, devoted strictly to cultivating and advancing medical knowledge, elevating Tue standard of medical education, promoting the honor, usefulness and interests of the profession, facilitating and fostering friendly intercourse, and enlightening and directing public opinion in regard to the duties, responsibilities and requirements of medical men; and, in a word, promoting all measures adapted to the relief of the Buttering, and improving the health, and protecting the lives of tho community. As there is no formal organization or constitution, its annual successdepends largely upon the ffiorta of its president and necfetary, and the efforts of tho profession in the city of its meeting. , The meeting of 1880, like that in Indianapolis in 1883, will always bo notable for its great success in numbers, interest and educative value. This is. in great part, due to the earnest efforts of that efficient organizer. Dr. Geo. J. Cook, of Indianapolis, who was so efficient in bringing about the great banquet of June 5, '88, given by the Marion County Medical Society to the Indiana fctato society, at which live hundred doctors were present, and which was ao successful from a social, scientific and liteTary point of view, that its programme has been adopted as a model by the Atlantic societies, and its toasts, with their fitting verses by James Whitromb Kiley, stolen en masse, and without credit, by the New England medical banqueters, at a recent meeting. Dr. Cook was ably seconded by a great host of Evansville uociors auu citizens, nnuer tne cnainnanehip of Dr. A. M. Owen. Indeed, the whole city took an interest in the meeting, running special trains, furnishing a banquet to over live hundred invited guests at Garvin Park, a grand concert at Evans's Hall, and even an exhibition of the excellent tire department service of the city. Nothing that the local committee of sixty desired orsugf ested was left undone to make the stay at Evansville pleasant as well as profitable. To name the committee would be to name tuo leading citizens or .t-vansvine. . But all the social features were subordinated to the medical and scientific. The list of ninety papers preseuted on tho programme were divided into two groups, medical and surgical, but thoso read were read in tho general session. Over seventy of the papers were brought by their Writers, and were either read as a 'whole or by abstract or title, and referred back to their authors for publication whenever they desired, as there is no publication by the society. The more notable papers were eoon solicited by the agents of the national medical journals, while by this method the more ordinary papers, the mero reporting of cases whose chief importance was iu the mind of the reporter, and the papers of medical and surgical men who might have bloody schemes, surgical machinery or private personal matters in viw. are allowed to fall into immediate oblivion or published in very local medical journals and brought to the notice of the profession through the agency of reprints. The lack of time to read all led to the selection nnd grouping of papers, and the immediate dis- . ciusion following the reading of thoso that belonged to ono group. The greatest interest of the meeting centered on the tubercle group, as this seems to be the dominating subject in present medicine. Consumption in its manifold forms is the ghost which, ever since man forsook the sbeDherd and hunter life and dwelt in fixed places of abode, has haunted tho profession and would not down at the doctor's bidding. It causes 15 percent, of the mortality of the world, 20 to SO per cent, of cities, and 40 to 50 per cent, of close "barracks and prisons. And now that Koch has given to the unseen and malignant spirit a tangible form and a definite name, which the great lights of biology in Germany. France and England have recognized as sufficient cause for consumption and tho most deadly organis n that ever was opposed to m&u in the struggle for existence, the absorbing questions in the medical world are: "What is the life history and habits of the 'tubercle bacillus; what the conditions favorablo or unfavorable for its reproduction and growth in the body of man and his domestic animals; what is its symptomatology and what the effect it produces in the different tissues of tho tiodv; is it a local or a general disease? Is .its germ transmissible .from mother to offspring! Is its invasion of the body by inheritance, or does it enter by the lungs, or by the stomach, or by the skin, or by all these routes!" These were the questions that took all the morning session of tho middle day of tho meeting the favorite 'session always. The intellectual giants who wrestled with this vegetable pigmy were Dr. William Porter, of St. Louis, who rmade the report for a committee appointed the year before to study the contagiousness uf tuberculosis; Dr. W. C. Chapman, of Tofledo, with an able essay on tho prognosis of lung disease, and Dr. C. F. McGahan, of Chattanooga, with a paper on the best treatment of those already infected. These papers aud the resulting discussion occupied three full hours, and the interest was intense almost painful; and when the subject was concluded and other matters taken up, thero was such a movement for the street and the pure air (absolutely no other spirit) that was wafted across the belle riviero from the purpling hills of Kentucky that the hall was almost empty. The writer's memory reverted to another nnd earlier meeting of tho society, that at Indianapolis in 1SS3. with the conservative Dr. Porter as president, and Dr. L. D. Brase. of Evansville, on the floor reading a description of his experiments on the inoculation of rabbits .with tubercular sputum, following the lines of the German explorers. How little attention it received; no discussion from the same society which now stood in mortal terror betore tho weapons of the enemy they, could see and describe, but which, once in possession, holds almost absolute sway over the body of man. But not a voico was raised in opposition at the present meeting; each was eager to throw in his mite of roof his little paper on tubercular t lis, or tubercular that, from the great toe throuch the peritoneum up to the citadel of thought itself. The great questions overpowered nil as the sea drinks in tho rivers. "Are we right! Is this the cause! Aud is there escape for the nncontaminated. and amelioration for present victims!'? Whether definite diagnosis is in mo recognition oi the bacillus in the discharges or tissues, and the medicine, the use of the agents which will destroy or will render the soil of if selection infertile for its growth. Whatever views, theories, or hypotheses will not fit in with this fact are relegated -rti.nlete lumber to chapters on the history of the disease." If all the great m rAl teachers and biologists of Europe tone wrong on this subject, unthiuka it may apiHiar, the little, lono society torv of the disease.'' If all the great meditkable as moet-

right or wrong, tne general expression was in the words of Whittakerrof Cincinnati, mioted by Dr. Theodore Potter, of In- . iininn! i4 in leading the discussion: "Tho

till!"

ing. away down in the Pocket of Indiana, was with them head and boots, for the only little, doubtful peep was from Dr. William Porter, whoso evident sentiment was, "Absolutely true, but not proven." How different all this splendid array of proof, of belief, and of discussion, from Dr. B ruse's poor, unnoticed little paper of six years before, but which, founded on facts, has gone on like the stars in their courses, "nnhastiug, unresting." But, enough. The discussion showed the spirit of the meeting when the subject aud method were citeu, and was worthy tho occasion. As these rambling observations aro for the Indianapolis Journal, it is fit that special mention is made of Indianapolis doctors whom, of conrse, wo best Know and bes t love. They- were there, giving filial support to thir chief cook, as follows: Dr. T. B. Harvey, LL, D., always the center of a genial circle of doctors, both joung and old. and general advisory committee to all the "boys," the recognized leader in his chosen surgical work, but with his comprehensive scope surveying the entire medical field; Dr. W. B. Fletcher, genial enthusiast, fearing no living thing, theory or phantom; Dr. Guido Bell, the typical German-American physician, loved and respected by two nationalities; Drs. G. V. Woolen and E. I'. Iewis. who nearly persuaded a colored boot-black, who could put his fist in his mouth for ten cents aud his foot for a quarter, to come to Indianapolis as an illustration of the wide field of the laryugologist; Dr. Theodore Potter, who hunts the bacillus to his lair, and pastes him with a binomial label; Dr. W. N. Wishard, who built our city a first-class hospital; Dr. A. .J. Thomas, of the Insane Asylum, who is at home when at Evansville; Dr. Fred Woodburn, of the City Dispensary; Dr. Dan Thompson, who made a brief speech at the banquet on "The Young Doctor;" Dr. Eastman, president of the College of Physicians and Surgeons; Dr. II. Pantzer, Dr. G. Vernon and tne present note taker, all of whom presented papers or took part in the discussions. Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Louisville and Baltimore had a score of representatives, who read papers and discussed questions. The instrumentdealers notably Armstrong, of Iudianapolis and the great drug houses were out in full force, nicklo-nlated and sugar-coated. Dr. G. Sniythe. of Greencastle. was present.

and is remembered hero because of his supplementing tho table d' hote of tho Evansville hotels with a full lunch all round to everybody in the 6leepiiig-car at Terre Haute, claiming the privilege of footing all bills wheu within forty miles of home. Every Indiana town of any size and many hamlets were represented by their leading physicians, ilie cases oi surgery reported "by young men were worthy of note. Surgery of the brain and spinal coru, xne aouomeu ana peivis tuey neither tear to do or to report. Tho next meeting will be in Louisville, with Dr. Joseph M. Matthews as president. It is unnecessary to say that tho selection of place and president is highly satisfac tory to the brethern. "Common consent" lias also designated Indianapolis for the sueceeding meeting, as Indiana will maintain her just position as the pivotal State, with Indianapolis as the hub in all that pertains A . i; 1 1 .a il ' ' to me uignuy anu worm oi mo .Mississippi rn ir i! i - A; . v aiiey jieuicai Association. a. w. b.

President Mackey states that passenger trains will be running on the Evansville & Richmond road, between Llnora and Sej'inonr, Ind., by Oct. 1. In the month of September tho Vandalia receive! at and forwarded, from Indianap olis 1,530 more loaded cars than in the cor responding month of 1888. Four car-loads of horses and mules, shipped from Kansas City to this point, came in over me vanuaua yesterday, corn ing through iu thirty-four hours. Tho St. Louis freight committee has de . cided to reduce the rato on broom-corn. East St. Louis to New York, from ToL to 70 cents. 1 his is done to equalize the rate to Chicago from Jdissouri-nver points. Charles lancis Adams, with a number of his subordinate officials, is this week iuKpcctinc the lines in Kansas and No braska, with a view of seeing where thero is any opportunity for bettering the serv ice. Judge W. G. Veazey, of Rutland, Vt., has received, his commission irom 1 resident Harrison as Interstate-commerce Commis sioner. His first sitting with the commission will bo in Indianapolis, on its visit Here next weeK. The Bee-line will make several changes in running time of its through trains on Oct. 9. Some of tho changes proposed, it is thought by those in a position to know, will bo detrimental to tho passenger busi ness of tho road. The earnings of the Lake Erie & Western for the lirst week iu September were &2.512, Traffic Manager Parker states that had tho company been able to get half tho cars they needed the earnings would havo been at least $15,000 larger. It is thought that at tho next meeting of it . -i a l a . 1 f me uirectors oi me rennsj'ivania ltauroad Company, J. N. McCullough. first vice-pres ident oi the Pennsylvania Company, will bo elected the successor of William Thaw as director of the parent line. Tho Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City road continues to show cot only steady gains, but large ones. For the first week in September its eamiugs were 23,355. an increase over earnings for the corresponding week of 1888 of 40 per cent. It is stated that Maxwell and Graves, both of whom were once largo holders of the stock and bouds of the Ohio, Indiana & Western, havo disposed of a greater per cent, of their holdings, hence their iuuifference as to the future of the property. . Nearly all Indiana Toads will show a slight decrease in earnings the tirst week in September as compared with those of the corresponding week last year, but ir every case it is for want of cars to move the business, tho offerings of which are heavy beyond precedent. California Shaw's fine private car, in which he rode over the Columbus & Hocking Valley mad. has been turned over to the Lake Erie & Western people to be cared for until he can dispose of it. There is ono good feature about the matter Mr. Shaw paid for the car with his own money. The Cleveland Leader says that an era of good feeling is gradually reviving between the N. Y., P. fc O. ami tho Eric, tho Erie Bhowing a disposition to yield a point or two for tho sake of harmony. The fact is that neither of the roads can well get along if operated separately, and tho closer the traffic relations the better for both. A party of Pennsylvania capitalists arrived in tho city over the Pennsylvania line on a special car, at noon, yesterday. The car was placed on- one of the spur tracks west of the Union Station, and during tho afternoon the party looked tho city over. At 11 l M. tho car was attached to ono of the Vandalia trains, and went on to St. Louis. In the month of August there arrived nnd departed, at the Union Station, 3,G:i5 trains, handling i?J,l(i5 coaches. The corresponding mouth, 1S88, there arrived and departed a total of :i,5U trains, handling liOVU coaches. The excess shown last year over August, this year, is due to tho large delegations which were coming to the city to call on President Harrison. Henry Graves, one of the largest bondholders of tho Ohio Southern road, and General Manager Henderson are inspect

ing the property. Tho new bonds which

the stockholders, on Tuesday, voiea xo iftsnA it i thought, will meet with ready sale, as the road is now lightly bonded and its earning capacity considerable in excess of its operating and present fixed charges. The Vandalia and the Pennsylvania lines and the Vanderbilt lines via Indianapolis aro landing live stock in Eastern markets shipped from St. Louis or Illinois points twenty-four to thirty-six hours quicker than it is done when the stock is shipped via Chicago. Shippers are learning this fact, which accounts lor the large increase this year in shipments over the direct midland routes. The Master Carnd Locomotive Painters' Association yesterday elected the following officers: President. A. E. Baker. Chicago &, Northwestern railroad, Chicago; first ; ij a. ii'ii i! . v . : t I .In fi r Central & Canada railroad, St. Thomas. Out.; second vice-president. E. L. Felling, New York & New England railroad, Nor wich, Mass.; secretary and treasurer, Robert McKeon. New York, Pennsylvania cc vhio, Kent, O. Transfer books of hoth classes of stock of C. C C. & St, L. will close Sept. 20, and reopen Nov. 1, for the purpose of a quarterlv dividend on tho preferred: biock. pa -able Oct. 1, and also of the annual meeting of the company to bo held hero Oct. SO. secretary Osborn requests noiuera oi certificates of stock of Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis &. Chicago and C, C, C. &. I. to exchange their certificates for stock of C. C, C. & St. L. at once. Traffic Manager Murray, of the C, C, C. &St. L. (Big Four), has got tho passener department well straightened out and own to a minimum working force at Cin cinnati and Louisville, and is now reacning westward. The Journal has information that on Oct. 1 Thomas t Peck, of tho passenger department here, will retire, and on the same date William Green, at St. Louis. andH. Williams, at Kansas City, will retire from the company's service. It is stated that there is to be stia more pruning done in this department. It is stated that Mr. Manvel. the sncces; sor of Mr. Stromr as president of the Atchi son, Topeka.& Sauta Fe road, is to perform the duties of general manager as well as those of president, dispensing with the present general manager. This is a bad omen. When a president attempts to per form double duty it necessarily ionows that similar economies will be practiced in a larger measure among the subordinate officers. The result will be watched with interest, as there is a tradition among railroad men that cutting down expenses in this way means deterioation in service or a postponement of tho evil day for the road practicing it. For the first time in tho history of tho Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road, except during the strike, one day last week one of its competitors landed more carloads of grain in Chicago than it did the Chicago. Milwaukee & St Paul delivering 2Go car-loads. This fact was sent, over the country without giving the reason for tne ll l ; riM. - & .1 1 iayorauie exnioju me ut.i uujr it learned that the C, B. & Q. had a freighttraiu wreck, which brought business into Chicago to a standstill for several hours; The next day the C, B. &, Q. delivered at Uhicago double the nnmber ot cars wnicn the Chicago, Milwaukee &, St. Paul did. Usually the Chicago & Northwestern comes secosd to the C, B. & Q. in its deliveries. At the meeting of the officials of tho Monon, the Pennsylvania and the Big Four in Cincinnati, last week, it was agreed that each road should do all in its power to gather in the mileage tickets out that are liable to demoralize rates. Especially was it desirable to gather iu those in tho hands of the scalpers, even if it became necessarjr to pay a bonus to secure them. Consequently the assistant general passenger agents hero yesterday went about the work of purchasing those in thehauds of scalpers. One assistant general passenger agent was surprised to find that ono scalper had 19,000 miles of their mileago books; of another road he held only 7,200 miles, and of a third only 6,500 miles. These were all gathered in, the roads payiug tho scalper considerably more than they cost him. The Vandalia road is one of the surprises. Through tho introduction of natural gas into this territory, strikes at the coal mines in Clay county aud tho opening of numerous new mines at other oints, its coal traffic, which had reached lundrcdsof cars daily, has been cut down ;o a minimum, yet the earnings of tho road, joth freight and passenger, are running ahead of those recorded when its coal busi uess was one of its most important items. Tho favorable exhibit from month to month under the conditions is largely duo, doubtless, to looking more closely after the road's local business and in the forming of new traffic arrangements with connections at St. Louis. The improvement in business has been fully as marked on the T. H. fe L. div ision as on the main line. It is stated that the net earnings of 1889 will bo the most favorable in the history of the road. A few weeks ago mention was made that the passenger department of tho Central Traffic Association, since George Daniels retired from the chairmanship, had been in a bad way, each general passenger agent acting about as lie pleased in rate matters and as regards giving lower ratos to conventions, fairs, etc. The correctness of the Journal in the matter is evidenced in tho fact that there was no meeting in Chicago on Tuesdav, for lack of a quorum, although special pains had been taken to get the membership together. Articles looking to a reorganization of this department of the association have been in the hands of a committee of live general managers for weeks, but they have made no headway of late in coming to a basis of reorganization. The first proposition was pigeon-holed, and since that considerable indifference as to continuing tho organization has sprung up. The presidents of the lines in the Interstate-commerce Railway Association yesterday passed a resolution to the effect that on account of the failure of tho northwestern division of the Western Freight Association to make satisfactory arrangements with Eastern lines for publishing through rates, tho matter be dropped until such time as Eastern lines will snow a willingness to help meet the competition by wav of the great lakes and Canadian railroads from the seaboard aud points in the Middle and Eastern States to St. Paul and Minneapolis. The Chicago, Purlington & Northern was invited to confer with tho presidents, although not a member of the association. The vote on the resolution was unanimous by the members, but Mr. Hamblin, of the Burlington fc Northern road, voted "no." The resolution was immediately handed over to the meeting of the Western Freight Association, and was by them discussed. No conclusion could be reached. The Great Preserver. JCew York Sun.
