THE CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS

Gentlemen, Hospital Superintend- ents, Trustees and Sisters. This is tho first opportunity I have had of thanking you for elect-

third sectional meeting of The Maritime Brunch of the American’ College of Surgeons.

l, therefore, offer you my sin-

cere thanks for this honor you have conferred upon lllc, and will do my utmost to fill the (Jhwlr somewhat to your satisfaction. l have nlucll pleasure in offering you a welcome from our colleagues ilcro ill Prince Edward island. I tilalnk you for your presence here to day at this nlcctlllg. We know that you are here at a grcllt sacri- flco and. as no social functions are attached to these meetings or otherwise allowed, the sacrifice is still grollter. It ls no holiday to collie to a meeting at a time wllcn one curlnot choose tile dute for hilllscli.

Sonic of the chief benefits which I see lls a result fo these lilectlllgs is the bringing together of neigh- boring practitioners, wholu if it wcrc not for u meeting of this kind, we would never kllow, as the tend- ency wllth nlcllical mcn, as a rule, is to visit the large centres. i do hope that we will cultivate more the hublt 0f nleetlng our local friends more often.

I also extend un extra greeting to those who have come from abroad to hcip to make those meet- lugs interesting and instructive. Those who are hero for the first time, we wish "them to feel at home; thmo who were hero before we extend to them the same greet- ings, and are glad that their im- pressions oi us were sufficiently goodto brlliir them back again. We receive sucll mngnanimous treatment at the hands of our pro- fession confrerea when we visit tiiek cities-quell so busy that we yrbnder tlltt they can ilind time to devoto to, visitors.
