It was with much regret that I read the intended obituary of the Pike Couuty Medical Society, written by 'one of Pike county 's supposed prominent physicians. The question arisen as to his prominency. Is he a proficient member of tlie society, regular at the meetings? Did he ever read a paper, report a case, or take any part iu a discussion of one that had been read by some other member of the profession, or perhaps by chance has only lent his presence a few times to swell the crowd—now while perhaps it is true that there was no society meeting at Winslow Nov. 9th, 1893. It is not 1 hope true, that by the failure our society must die. Brother M, D. if you will try just as hard to build up the society as you have to tear it down in the eyes of the people by your little supposed obituary, wo will have a society that will^ao au honor to the jnembers and to Pike county. I hope if you are a member and all others will atteud the next meeting with a paper to read, a case or cases to report and by so doing build up the society to what it should be—and if vou will do this and urge others to attend and lake part in seft ciety work our spclety will convalesce and be a success. By a member who wishes the syciety to live long and prosper. You txow. Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder Forty Years the Standard. A screamer—The White Minstrel, A screamer—The While hjiustveh r
