RECEIVES HIGH HONOR

Dr. James H. Honan, of Berlin, Germany, writes’ his brother, E. P. Honan, of Rensselaer,' a very interesting letter and informs him that he has just received an appointment to honorary membership in the American Medical Association. ’ The appointment was decided on at the meeting of the'Association held in St. Louis June last, and is the highest honor that can be conferred on any American docto.. The rules of the Association forbid confering this honor to any physician not a resident of the country, but recognising Dr. Honan’s exceptional - ability, the rules were suspended and thereby making the appointment even more significant. This is Dr. Honan's . second time to be thus honored, as a similar recognition was bestowed on him by the German empire, through the American Embassador. Dr. Honan will be remembered as having visited his brother, E. P. Honan, here a short time while lecturing in this country last winter.
