Illinois Doctors at Ottawa.

Ottawa, 111., May 20—The Illinois State Medical society opened the first day’s session of its forty-sixth annual meeting in the First Baptist church in this city Tuesday morning with a very large attendance of physicians from all parts of the state, distributed between Chicago and Cairo. As a matter of miscellaneous business the society took up the subject of next year’s meeting, resolving, if possible, to meet one day of the convention with the Missouri State Medical society on a steamboat in the Mississippi river. The plan is that the society shall meet In East St. Louis and the Missouri society In St. Louis, each holding a session of two days before the steamboat meeting. A committee was appointed to arrange the matter.
