DOCTORS FORGOT THEIR PROBLEMS AROUND BANQUET BOARD. GEORGIA MEDICAL SOCIETY CELE BRATED ANNIVERSARY. Good Cheer end Good Fellowship Harked Dinner at De Soto—Wit and Rumor of the Medico* Fol lowed Elaborate Mena—Dr. H. 11. Martin, president of Society, De livered Address—Name of Dr. R. J. >ilnn Was Cheered to the Echo by 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. fitter full justice hH4;beeh .dope to the menu &iid tjttren tthe itssefflWfed 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. The Railway Surgeon. To the toast ’The Hallway Hur feon Dr. R. p. Ular responded.

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 fall, when wounded, upon a feather bed the reporters say there Is some American Club Ginger Ale made from Green Ginger Roof and Purest Known Water Surpasses All Others .

He has on bis shoulders the 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. seri ou sTir e~pre vented 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.
