Members and Guests.
Good cheer and good fellowship
marked the dinner at the De Soto last
night to celebrate the one hundredth
anniversary of the founding of the
Georgia Medical Society.
Shortly after 9 o’clock the thirty-odd
invited guests of the society marched
into the breakfast room of the De Soto
in which had been spread the centen
nial dinner. The tables were arranged
in a hollow square about a bank of
palms and other potted plants In the
center of the room. Here and there
about the room, in every available
place, had been placed other plants so
that the entire room appeared almost
like one whose walls were solid green
ary.
At the head of the table sat Dr. H.
H. Martin, the president of the society,
and about him were the following
Drs. Marlon Thomas, B. P. Oli
veros, R. P. Izlar, E. R. Cor
son, Col. J. H. Estill, Drs. M. F.
Dunn, J. N. Carter, W. E. Norton, W.
B. Orear, A. A. Morrison, R. S.
Reid, J. Weichselbaum, J. S. Howkins,
A. B. Crawford, Martin Cooley, H. W.
Hesse, J. A. Stothart, W. W. Owens,
G. S. Thomas, Judge George T. Cann,
R. J. Nunn, J. A. Crowther, J. T.
Rogers, Julian F. Chisholm, J. Jones,
J. K. Train, Southgate Leigh, T. P.
Waring, R. Boyd Miller, J. G. Van
Marter, J. G. Jarrell and William A.
Dancy.
While the courses of the elabor
ate menu were being served the
physicians threw aside the cares and
duties of their practice and anecdotes
and witty stories flowed in an almost
unbroken stream from all sides of the
festive board. There were stories of
operations that ended happily for all
concerned; there were humorous anec
dotes of the whims and foibles of hu
manity as seen by the practicing phy
sician; and rich man and pauper, prac
titioner and patient became alike the
targets of the ready, good-natured wit.
At times the humor was dropped and
the banqueters engaged In a serious
discussion of recent medical and sur
gical treatises, of important discoveries
in the treatment of ‘‘all the ills the
flesh is heir to,” and of matters of in
terest to the profession. Then the cur
rent would turn again to the humorous
and the witty and thus the evening
passed. It was an informal social
gathering where each discussed those
topics with his neighbor which were of
greatest Interest to them both. Prob
lems were laid aside, puzzling ques
tions forgotten, and merriment and
good cheer reigned.
A Momeiitious Occasion.

members of the society and invited
guests had settled back in their chairs
for “the feast of reason and a flow of
soul,” Dr. Henry Hajer Martin rap
ped for order, and an instant later be
gan the president’s address.
Georgia Medical Society.
Dr. E. R. Corson responded to the
toast, "The Centennial of the Georgia
Medical Society.” With rapid sketches
he pictured the changes that have
come with the last one hundred years.
A century ago anatomy was not fully
developed, anaethetics were unknown,
molecular physics were In their in
fancy, and chemistry was almost un
known. The masses knew little of the
ways of physicians and the surgeon
was looked upon with grave doubt.
Since that time things have greatly
changed. The speaker pointed out the
benefits that have come from the de
velopeinent of surgery, the extension
of chemistry, the coming in of anaes
thetics, and the wonders made possi
ble by the discovery of the X-ray.
In concluding his refererfce-retrospect
of the first century of the society’s
history, he paid deserved tribute to
the early men of the society, the men
who gave It birth. Courage, self-sac
rifice, and devotion, the great virtues
of the surgeon, he deemed could not
have been absent from those old
workers, else they had not stamped
their memories so forcibly upon the
generations following. Though they
had not the advantages of to-day, they
did much, and because of the disad
vantages which they overcome with
the true spirit of the physician the bet
ter-advantaged practitioners of to-day
should, In the opinion of the speaker,
not forget to do them honor.
In hls reference to the last fifty
years of the society’s history, Dr. Cor
son paid a tribute to Dr. R. J. Nunn,
which called forth yie prolonged ap
plause of the guests. He closed with
an earnest exhortation to the members
to strive ever to keep alive the prin
ciples which have ever actuated the
society. *
The Medical Profession.
Dr. G. G. Thomas, of the Atlantic
Coast Line, responded to the toast,
“The Medical Profession.” This re
sponse was one of the happiest of
the evening abounding In rich humor
and ready, rapler-llke wit.
With quick, masterly strokes, the
speaker painted the greatness of pliy-'
clans. The Apostle Luke, and those
of the later years who have followed
In their footsteps have worked with
but one object in view, the relieving
of the Ills and pains of humanity, the
sacrificing of self for the betterment
of the whole human race. In Illustra
tion of the points made by the speak
er a number of incidents were related
and the generous applause showed the
appreciation of the spirit of devotion
shown by the doctors of the stories.
Dr. Thomas closed with a beautiful
tribute to the profession, a eulogy of
its labors, and of the beauty that
hang about the word “doctor." That
title, he said, was one of which any
man might be well proud. The mas
ter himself had been called the great
Physician and doctors, through all the
f° u ™ e of history had been following
m Hla steps, relieving suffering, light
ening human Ills, doing works of kind
ness, charity, and love.

thinks; a man that must know on the
instant just what is best to do in an
almost unlimited number of cases; and
yet withal a man is so often censured
by the public and by the masses who
lift always the prayer, “From the rail
way surgeon, good Lord deliver us.”
He closed by stating that hls in
ability to do full justice to the toast
to which he had been called to re
spond left him with but one thing to
do, to propose a toast "To the Rail
way Surgeon.”
The Army Surgeon.
To the toast, "The Army Surgeon,”
Dr. R. Boyd Miller, now stationed at
Fort Screyen, responded.
Dr. Miller, in a series of rapid pic
tures, painted the changes that huve
come into the life of the army surgeon
and the duties he has to perform. “At
first," said the speaker, “he was at
tached to the army with no distinct
status, attached merely as a poultice
to a sore foot.” He treated the wound
ed where thev fell and treated them
with what means alone he had at hand.
Asa real army surgeon the great man
who went with the mighty Napoleon
was in reality the first.
Then came a sketch of the army sur
geon of to-day. In times of peace he
is stationed mayhap on a lonely sand
dune or he may be confronting such
gigantic problems as those that are
now arising in Panama. He may have
a mere handful of men under hls care,
or he may have an entire army. In
time of war hls lot Is not always a
happy one. “If every soldier does not

problem of the proper placing of the
ambulances, the arrangement for the
hospitals, the sanitation of the camps,
the inspection of the rations, and a
thousand' and one little details which,
successfully carried out. bring him lit
tle credit in the world at large, unsuc
cessfully met bring on his head the
maledictions of the multitude.
He closed with several pictures of
the brighter side to the life of the army
surgeon, and a summarized history of
his achievement, paying deserved trib
ute to the contributions of army sur
geons to the science of medicine and
surgery, and to the men whose close
study, untiring energy, and patient
research have made these contribu
tions possible.
The State of Georgia.
Col. J. H. Estill in responding to the
toast "Georgia,” sketched interestingly
the history of the colony, and its
growth and development into the great
empire state of the South, and dealt
facetiously with the malaria fad.
"It may seem strange to those of the
medical profession,” he said, "that the
first settlers of Georgia died, in many
instances, in fact, in most of them,
without the aid of doctors; that they
departed to a better world without
knowing anything of malaria or the
germ theory. They knew not that a
mosquito's bite meant the injection
into their systems of animal para
sites. They in their ignorance killed
the mosquito, if quick of hand, and let
it rest at that. They had no excuse
to leave home as they knew nothing
of malaria. Husbands and wives liv
ed happily together all the days of
their lives, with no mosquito bites,
or malaria, or doctors to put them
asunder’ and send the husband to New
York or some other big city to see the
latest plays and have a good time gen
erally, or order the wife to the springs
to have very nearly as good time as
her malarious husband. If those old
time people had the ague they took
something hot, and kept on shaking
until they shook themselves free of it.
“This city of ours, the healthiest In
the country," said Col. Estill, “is af
flicted with a great number of malari
ously inclined individuals. While the
people of other cities are proud of the
health of their typhoid-afflicted homes,
and honestly acknowledge when away
from them that they are out for a
change, for fun and frolic, the malari
ous Savannahian tells all the world
that he or she left his or her home
because of malaria. Georgia w’ould
have remained a forest, filled with
Indians, and the descendants of old
Tomochichi would now be loafing
about Yamacraw had it been known
to the early settlers that a certifi
cate of malarious tendency could be
secured from a doctor whose mind,
If not his body, was filled with germs.
■'Gentlemen of this ancient society,
as patriotic citizens and good physic
ians, let me pray you that in the fu
ture when a patient comes with the
inclination to travel, don’t give him
an excuse for doing so by diagnosing
his ailment as ‘malaria.’ Don’t sad
dle on ‘malaria’ burdens for which it
is not responsible, because by doing
so you hurt our city. If you can't
discover the trouble, give It some other
name with which the public isn’t fam
iliar. No harm will be done, and the
patient will pay his bill with the same
cheerfulness with which doctor's bills
are always paid.
“I would not pretend to advise a
learned body like yourselves, but I
trust that I Will not be thought pre
sumptuous when I suggest that if
vou would build up Georgia, and help
Savannah on her onward march, you
should give ’malaria’ a long and need
ed rest.”
The City of Achievement.
To the toaSb “Our City.” Judge
George T. Cann responded in his usual
happy and ’ appropriate manner. *
With a genial humor that cast a fit
ting, warming glow over the assembly,
Judge Cann complimented the former
speakers upon their responses. Through
it all ran a kindly wit, whose shafts
were all stingless, and Ifeft no wound
to show that they had struck.
Then followed a beautiful tribute—
polished, erudite and eloquent—to the
Forest City. He pictured the growth
of the city, a growth in beauty, a
growth in moral grandeur, a growth
In glowing health. He showed how
the material achievements of adminis
tration after administration had been
eclipsed in the victories of the medical
profession.
Eulogy of medicine and physicians
followed. The yellow fever panic was
described with a realism that made
the dread spectre seem almost again
present In horrid form and feature.
Against its ravages the men of medi
cine were painted pitting tireless ener
by, vicarious devotion, patient re
search. What they learned they hand
ed down to the students that followed
them, and their altruistic labors have
been crowned with the glorious
achievements of the medical profession
to-day. Incident after incident fol
lowed in illustration of the points made
and served to show with a vivid real
ism the magic progress that has been
made in one brief century.
He closed with an eloquent eulogy
of the medical profession, the achieve
ments of the century, the sacrifices and
devotion of physicians and surgeons,
the merit and unparalleled standing
of Savannah physicians; and with the
hope that future years would bring
to Savannahians the homage which the
labors of her medical and surgical men
make due.
When the speaker closed, the presi
dent. Dr. H. H. Martin, proposed the
toast, Oann,” and with a will
all rose and drank In recognition of
the splendid tribute paid them.
The Improuptn Toasts.
Dr. Martin then proposed the health
of Dr. R. J. Nunn, tq which the en
tire assembly responded with a will.
When they had again seated them
selves that distinguished Savannahian,
whose health had just been toasted, In
a few appropriate remarks, paid trib
ute to the profession of which he, him
self, was a most worthy member. Es
pecial attention was paid to the en
dowment fund that had been arranged
by the society to care for those who
so deserved it. the widows and or
phans of deceased members of the
Georgia Medical Society.
The banquet, which was an unqual-
ifled success in every sense of the
word, closed with all standing and
drinking the toast proposed by Dr.
Nunn. To the Departed.”
Dr. Martin, at an appropriate point
in the programme, read telegrams of
regret from Hon. Walter G. Charl
ton. Hon. P. A. Stovall. Dr. Nichol
son of Atlanta, and other invited
guests who were unable to be present.

BY TIMELY DISCOVERY.
Flames Started In Oiling Above
Wilensky’s Shoe Store.
But for the timely discovery of an
employe of the New York restaurant,
one of the principal business blocks of
the city would have ben in Imminent
danger of being destroyed by tire last
night shortly after 10 o’clock, when
smoke was seen issuing in volumes
from a rear window above the store of
M. Wilensky. at No. 28 Broughton
street, east.
In some way a fire had started near
the back windows up stairs, and was
climbing rapidly to other parts of the
building when discovered. An alarm
was turned In from box 81, at Con
gress and Bull streets, and the
promptness of the firemen only made
it necessary to use the chemical en
gine from the Central fire station to
extinguish the flames.
The stofy of the building in which
the fire was discovered was until a
few weeks ago used as a bowling al
ley, but for some time has not been
occupied. The damage was slight.
