THE MORNING OREGONIAN, ...THURSDAY, JUNE. 28, 1900. If U h DOCTORS WILL GO HOME CLOSING SESSION OF MEDICAL SO CIETY HELD. Daring; the Day aCaajr Interesting: Pa per "Were Read Oflcera Elected. Banquet at Night. The session of the State Medical So ciety adjourned yesterday afternoon to meet again In Portland next year at a date to be fixed later by the president and secretary. The closing day was profitably spent, and the many discussions were closely listened to by the physicians pres ent. An effort will be made by the legislative committee to get a bill through the next legislature creating a State Board of Hoalth. A resolution to this effect was introduced at the morning session by Dr. A. J. FuJton, of Astoria. The resolution -was heartily adopted, after having been freely discussed. Several Interesting papers were read during the day, and full and free discus sion of them was indulged In. Among the best of such papera were the following:: "Diagnosis of Smallpox," by Dr. Wal lace "W. Potter, of Spokane: "Notes or Vaginal Hysterectomy," by Dr. "W. F. McNutt, of San Francisco; "Pulmonary Tuberculosis," by Dr. R. L. Gillespie, of Portland, and "Preventive Medicine," by Dr. N. B. "Wlnnard, of Albany. Dr. Potter had charge of the smallpox epidemic in Spokane last "Winter, and his paper was particularly Interesting. "The worst feature of the whole mat ter," said he, "was that no one was able to prove his diagnosis by any textbook at hand. No authoritative description of this present disease was produced. The ma jority of physicians believed it to be a mild and unusual form of smallpox. Some claimed It was a severe form of chicken pox, while a few held to the diagnosis of impetigo contagiosa. "During the first eight months of the outbreak Its extreme mildness of type con tinued, and so did the diagnostic discus sions. "In January last we had at one time In our Isolation hospital In Spokane 55 patients. Among these were to be found severe severe and typical cases, and it was then that our diagnostic difficulties were cleared away, for by comparison the similarity of the modified to the ordinary form of the disease was easily discerned. "During the outbreak there has been a total of 266 cases in Spokane. Of these, 203 were treated in the isolation hospital; the others quarantined at their homes. Two cases were fatal; 218 were males, 48 females; 263 white. 3 black. Ages Under 1 year, 1; 1 to 5 years. 2; 5 to 10 years. 10; 10 to 15 years, 12; 15 to 65 years, 241. Not quite 5 per cent in children under 10 years of age. and SO per cent In adults. "No careful record of the vaccinal status of these was made, but the vast majority of them had been vaccinated but once. In infancy; while a surprisingly large number of adults had never been vaccinated at all. In two instances only was a recent typical vaccination scar discovered, and the sickness of these two patients was trifling." Dr. Potter then took up the general topic, and, after going Into It in detail, closed with the statement that the many :ases of smallpox throughout the North west during the past "Winter were genu ine cases. and not Manila Itch, as many had thought. The discussion of this subject was en paged in by a number of the doctors pres ent. "Where Judges Are "Doctor. Dr. McNutt's paper was closely listened to. He opened his remarks by referring to the efforts the society was making to get a State Board of Health, and 6ald that while he thought the move an Im portant one. he hoped that when they got It they would find It a more effective one than that of California. He said down there they were forced to call In the Circuit Court Judges recently to determine If there was bubonic plague in the city. PreventinBr Dineane. Dr. Wlnnard began his paper on "Pre ventive Medicine" by declaring that ho who prevents disease Is greater than, he who cures. "In vaccination we have a remedy that prevents the spread of smallpox." said he. "Statistics show that In every country whore vaccination has been properly car ried out, smallpox has been practically ex terminated. Typhoid fever can be prevent ed by a clean soil and pure water supply. Fourteen out of sixteen cases treated by me last year occurred in that part of the city whore they had poor sewers and used water from shallow wells. "Consumption Is a contagious disease which can be prevented. Our Government should take steps to stop the ravages of a disease which claims 100,000 victims an nually. The first duty of a government is to protect the health and lives of Its citizens. "There should be a National Bureau of Health, with a Cabinet officer at Its head and an efficient Board of Health in each state, city, county and town. Ore gon Is one of the few states which has no Stato Board of Health, and, being sltuat ad as we are. one Is greatly needed." "Pnlmonnrr Tuberculosis." Many of those who joined In "discuss ing Dr. GUlespio's paper on "Pulmonary Tuberculosis" declared that It was one of the most important reid during the ses sions, because It dealt with a disease with which every physician has constantly to battle. Dr. Gillespie took the ground that the disease could be cured if taken early enough and handled in the proper way. He also spoke of the carelessness of thoso afflicted, in regard to the spread of the disease, and also discussed the prevalence of tuberculosis In cattle. One doctor who joined in the discussion of this paper gave It as his opinion that a very large percentage of the cows In this country were so afflicted. He said that an unerring test could be made on every cow at a cost of about 10 cents apiece, and thought people should be com pelled to make such tests. Others expressed the opinion that no one known to be afflicted with, tubercu losis should be allowed to marry, while one doctor strongly advocated the en forcement of the law requiring houses to be disinfected where such patients have been. Dr. "Wilson Johnston, of Colfax, "Wash., asserted that since tuberculosis wis con tagious, there should be found, without much trouble, means of preventing its spread. Just as the spread of other con tagious diseases could be prevented. He advocated the disinfecting of houses In which patients so afflicted had died, and cited a case where a perfectly healthy girl had gone to boarding school and been put in a room where a consumptive had previously been. The girl soon be came afflicted with the disease and died. The DnnKcrs of Surgeons. Dr. Andrew C Smith read an interest ing paper on "The Surgeon's Danger of Septic Infection, and Its Treatment." He compired surgeons to railroad men, min ers and sawyers, who became so familiar with danger that they forgot to be care ful until they had lost limb or life. He said that, while many of the punc tures the surgeon sustained were trivial, they were occasionally as virulent and fatal as rattlesnake bites. The most poisonous germ to which the surgeon was frequently exposed, he said, is the streptococcus, and Its virulence depended on his condition at the time of infection. If It carried a reserve force of poisonous products, or ptomaines, at the time of gaining entrance to healthy tis sue, it would. If in sufficient numbers, and unmolested by treatment, destroy any life. These germs attain their most virulent qualities in puerperal peritonitis, and special caution is advised in protect ing the hands in these cases. Several cases 'were then related of doc tors who had been infected during, opera tion, some of whom- lost fingers, others were invalided for months, and several deaths of surgeons from this cause had occurred. Dr. Smith then related his own case at length, and apologized for devoting so much time to it, because it was- typically illustrative of "The Surgeon's Danger of Septic Infection," and of his plea for greater caution in avoiding punctures and abrasions. He concluded by advising the immediate treatment of such acci dents, as radically as rattlesnake bites, with constriction, suction, and hypoder mic Injection of pure carbolic acid. He said that if he had practiced what he now preached, he would have saved a finger. Other Papera Rend. Dr. J. F. Dickson's paper on eye. ear and nose surgery was well received. Those who are competent to Judge pro nounced it a most Instructive article on the subject. Dr. A. M. Phelps was to have per formed an operation for hernia, but a suitable patient could not be found, and this part of the programme was dis pensed with. The other addresses of the day were all good, and received the closest attention. The Buslnens Session. After the discussions had closed, a re cess of 10 minutes was taken, after which came the selection of officers for the next year. There were few contests, most of the officers being elected by acclamation. Following are the names of the new offi cers: President. Dr. "W. E. Carll. Oregon City: vice-president. Dr. C J. Smith, Pendle ton; secretary, Dr. "W. F. Amos, Portland; treasurer. Dr. Mae H. Cardwell, Portland. Dr. A. C. Smith was re-elected a member of the executive board. The president and vice-president are new officers. The others served last year. Invited to "Washing-ton. Dr. P. "W. "Willis, president of the "Wash ington Medical Society, was present, and Invited the Oregon doctors to attend the next session of the Washington society. President Lane thanked him for the in vitation, and advised the members of the Oregon society to accept it freely. The new president was then conducted to the chair, and the retiring president was called upon for his address. He arose and said that, aside from thanking the members of the society for the way they had stood by him, he had no speech to make. He commended the work of Secretary Amos during the past year, and declared that the success of the twenty seventh annual gathering was largely due to Dr. Amos. President Carll invited the members and visiting physicians to meet him at Bran des' restaurant at 9 o'clock, where a supper and cigars would await them. The session then adjourned.

Pease, formerly of The Oregon ian staff, writes to a friend In Portland from Dutch Harbor under date of June 10 abroad the steamship Olympla: ""We arrived here last night after 17 days on the Pacific and In Bchring Sea. "We did not call here at first, but went through the Unimak Pass and on to the Prlblloffs, where the captain expected to get some news. There were no shlp3 there, and a gale was blowing, so we pushed on northward, encountering the Ice a week ago, when within about 10 hours' run of Nome. It was not a solid mass, but lay in scattered lumps, tossed about by tho winds. "We made but slight attempt to force our way into it. but lay at anchor near the Garonne.

A description of Its methods, capacity and workings is Interesting to dairymen In and around Portland. The plant covers an area of 23,000 square meters, or nine German morgen. The floors of the different buildings amount to 20,850 square meters. The sal aries paid to the employes of the establishment every Saturday night amount to 0S00 marks, and on the 1st of every month to 16,000 marks. The firm uses 2C0 horses and 155 delivery wagons. It also uses 12,000 railroad milk; cans of 20 liter, or quarts, capacity each, to convey milk from farms to the establishment. Each delivery wagon travels dally from 20 to 21 kilometers, or 8 German miles. There are three steam engines of 247 horse-power; four steam boilers of 259 cubic meters capacity furnish the necessary steam. Besides 700 gas lights, the plant uses one electric machine of 00-arc light power to furnish light to 22 arc lights. The water used to cleanse the numerous cans and rooms dally amounts to 1600 cubic meters, or 1.600,000 liter, without counting the water necessary for cooling room3 and air pumps. The milk for the use of children, invalids or the sick is drawn from carefully selected cowsby tho veterinary surgeon of the establishment. These cows are constantly under the supervision of this official, asd are Ted on dry food only. In order to exclude all fomenting and acid creating elements from the milk. Two traveling Inspectors are controlling the process of milking, cooling and shipping of the milk from the farms, and see that the most scrupulous cleanliness Is observed. In consequence, the milk reaches the consumer In the be3t possible state of sweetness and purity. The milk Is shipped and distributed In hemetlcally sealed bottles, and delivered twice a day. morning and afternoon. Customers receive their milk of the same milking either morning or evening. Statistics prove that the death rate of children in the first year of life In Berlin, owing to the beneficial influence of this establishment, slnco Its existence, has beeci reduced from 1.39 in 1871 to 0.S2 in 1SS7j according to the population of that city. ter. The Alliance and South Portland and several other steamers passed within sight of us and entered the Ice. We saw many small schooners sailing about await ing an opening, but could hear nothing of either the Dora or the Nelson. Final ly our captain, despairing of getting through for another 10 days or more, and getting somewhat short of water and pro visions, determined to sail for Dutch Harbor. "When about one day from here we met a vessel which told us that the Jeannlo had discharged at Nome and was now on her way back to San Francisco; also that lour other vessels, including the Alpha and the Thrasher, were oft Nome. The Alpha was the second ship In. So much for our Government's bluff about not allowing her to land. We all felt whipped, but a cheer went up as we rounded into this beautiful harbor and found it filled by an Immense fleet. The Ohio, Roanoke, San Pedro. Santa Ana, Senator. Centennial, Lacme, Rush, Wheeling. Brunswick. Ellhu Thompson. Utopia, Humboldt, Chas. D. Lane and others. Today a great cheer went up as the old Skookum was towed In and dropped anchor. Her stock Is In fine shape, as she has been lucky with clear weather all the way. Caines hulk, the Mercury, with the lighters for the Nel son, and other boats put out today for Nome, in tow of the Holyoke tug. "June 11 Tho news here now Is that the Dora was seen about 10 days ago struggling In the Ice up oft the delta of the Yukon. There appears to be no doubt but what she will get through all right The Nelson left here several days ago and may be In Nome now. The stout wooden boats of her class don't fear the i . but force a passage through the floating pack. The lc Is - -- i have wTecked one vessel, however, a bark whose name I have not learned. She was crushed and forced up and laid over on her side on the lce Her crew were saved. We encountered a bad gale after leaving Flattery. It kept the boat In the trough of the sea, and was very hard on the stock. One horse was lost and two others rendered unfit for service for a long time. I was horribly sea sick and couldn't hire anybody who was fit to care for the horses, so I had to remain on deck most of tho time caring for them myself and seeing that they didn't get down. I was only semi-conscious, but it struck me as a funny thing that they could eat and "drink with such gusto. I lived on hope for three days, but have since been an object of some anxiety to our steward. I managed to get the stalls well padded and braced, and our horses are In fine shape. In fact, though wo shall have been nearly or quite a month at sea, I believe wo shall be able to go to work with them almost as soon as we land. I estimate that tho teams will earn $10 an hour. "There has been considerable trouble on board, from handto-hand fights with ruffian waiters, who are working their passage, to a smallpox panic, which re sulted In nothing more, than a lot of sore arms and a few dollars in vaccina tion fees In the pockets of the ship's doc tor. The latter seems to have won a rep utation as a money maker. The accommo dations are all strictly second class, and all the tenderfeet on board have been putting up ai great; roar. Many have clubbed Interests to sue the Pacific Clip per line. But there has been an atmos phere of greater contentment since we put in here, and our passengers have had a chance to compare our lot with that on many other boats. Some of them have had It tougher than the steerage of an ancient Atlantic packet. "By the way. Captain Johnson, of the hulk Mercury, who Is a. good deal of a blustering bully, from what I saw of him while building the lighters at Stet son & Port's wharf. Is said to have been obliged to swallow Insult and contempt on his 'ship because he had no license to carry passengers. It is said that now his passengers live off the fat of the boat,- though they got scant attention from him at first. "This harbor presents a very lively scene. As only two er three ships can dock at . time and the method of deliv ering -coal and water is exceedingly cruds and slow, the others have to wait patient ly at anchor for their turn. It is said that nothing can exceed the haughty in dependence of the company having the monopoly of coal and water here. "Small boats are flying about in all directions carrying passengers to and from ships at 25 cents a head. The gamblers and their creatures, male and female, have transferred their business from the ships to the shore, and both Unalaska and Dutch Harbor, which, you know, are on opposite sides of the same harbor, are running as wide open as the eyes of the surprised natives. The many hundreds of passengers are scattered nbout over" the surrounding hills (which still bear great snow banks) or Indulging in jolly clam-bakes on the neighboring beaches. "While we were up against the Ice the weather was raw and chilly. Many gut 'cold feet' and talked of taking the first boat back from Dutch Harbor to the States, but all appear to have regained their spirits. There Is yet some sick ness on the ships. We have had one death from pneumonia, and two passen gers are yet very sick from the samo trouble. The death rate Is found to be pretty high this Summer. Perhaps the rumor of a new strike at Golovin Bay has A MODEL DAIRY. rejuvenated the gold fever among the faltering ones. We pull out for the north again June 13, and expect to go right through." i . ' ANNA MILLER WOOD TALKS She Tells Hovr California Girls Live "When in Boslon. Anna Miller Wood, the San Francisco singer "who has achieved such, success In London and Boston drawlng-roora.3 as well as In church and concert work, in New England, is in Portland, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar XJoursefl. For several years past Miss Wood has been singing in the First Unitarian jphurch In Boston, the oldest church organization In that city, dating back to 1630, which makes it even older, as a society, than that of King's chapel. It is tho church in which Arthur Foote. the well-known American com poser, is organist. He happened to hear her In London, at ,the time her singing was beginning to attract so much atten tion at private drawing-rooms there, and, being then in search, of a. contralto for his Boston choir, was successful in engaging her. A few minutes' talk, with Miss Wood Is sure to reveal the fact that she has a very winning personality. She is rather slight, and frail-looking at first sight, but tills is quickly belled by the freshness of enthusiasm and energy seen in her face, and the frank, spontaneousness of her manner. "Socially, Mr. Foote is the most promi nent musician In Boston," she said. "He belongs to a fine old family, and has a charming wife, home and daughter of 18 at Dedham." In answer to the question as to whether he is really so very ugly. Miss Wood re-, plied, loyally: "He does not impress me so at all, for he "has beautiful eyes and such a kind and Interesting face. He Is exceedingly popular, because he is always doing so many helpful things for people; his pupils simply adore him. Then he Is so full of humor, and knows how to tell an after dinner story so capitally, has quite a gift as a raconteur In fact. He has Just fin ished a big aria dedicated to Gertrude May Stein, and last year composed sev eral flno things basqd upon the 'Rubal yat,' which made quite a little stir in Boston." Miss Wood makes her home with Mrs. Marsh, a leading pianist of Boston, They keep house together, and have the most charming "at homes." "Boston is esentlally a city of stu dents. There are hundreds upon hundreds of young people who have come there from outside the city to attend the Con servatory, or the 'Tech,' or to study art; and they manage to live very pleasantly as well as very cheaply. I have two Cali fornia girls among my pupils, who are living In the most comfortable, delightful fashion" In a house Just given over to students of various kinds, and young women with a 'career. Zlt- Kala Sji. the talented Indian girl, who has lately be come the fad In Boston you've doubtless seen her name In the Atlantic Monthly and in Harper's Monthly and Angel de Cora, the magazine illustrator, are there among others. These girls go to concerts together, and give pleasant little Bohe mian luncheons at which one sometimes sees notable personages; and yet they manage to keep their living expenses, food and room, down to $20 or $25 a month. Their breakfasts and dinners they get at home themselves, but go out to lunch eon, at a little semi-private cafe next door. There are a number of these cafes scattered about Boston, where one can get 21 meal tickets for $3. It Is perfectly safe In Boston for a young woman to go out alone to concerts In the evening, and many of them do It." Miss Wood reports the California girls who have come to Boston for music study as succeeding remarkably well in winning church positions and concert engagements. .-n r ' iAJSZ&t&Z ADVANCSDTO H1GHSCH00L SCHOLARS PROMOTED FROM THE GRAMMAR GRADE.

Jr., son of the well- knovm East Side resident, has entered the census office at Washington. Several weeks ago he received a- dispatch telling him to come to Washington. Without knowing the purpose of the summons he started at once. It has since been learned that he has a place in the census office. The young man went to the Philippine Islands as First Sergeant of Company F, Second Oregon, and came back as Second Lieutenant of the regiment. He was one of the organizers of Gilbert Camp, No. 4, and was secretary of the camp when he left for Washington. The young man was brought up In Portland, and has many friends, who will be pleased over his good fortune. The position he has taken will likely last several years, as It usually requires a long time to compile and print the census. CONFERENCE TODAY. United Brethren Church Begin Ses sionEast Side Notes.

A gentleman who has been traveling over the county a great deal says that the grain crop 13 not going to be so poor as It was generally supposed it would be. He states that in his opinion the crop will not be large, but it will be far from a failure. About two-thirds of the crop is Spring sown. The Fall grain Is poorest, and not much can be expected of It. while some of the Spring grain Is in excellent condition. If nothing later In the line of a calamity befalls the crop It will be fair, but not large. General Andre, the new French Minister of War, Is an accomplished musician.

"I am 45 years old and drank coffee all my life, up until New Year's. I have felt bad for years and did not know what ailed mo. I thought I had the dropsy and heart disease. Sometimes I would have to press my hand against my heart, I would be in such pain, and I got so I could hardly do my work. My head would feel heavy and dizzy, and many a time I have got so blind I would Just have to drop down or else I would have fallen. "I felt bad all over. My feet would swell and hurt me. and I am confident If I had continued drinking coffee I wouldn't have been able by this time to do any thing. A friend of mine asked me to try Poatum Food Cpffee and stop drinking regular coffee. I tried the Fo'stum, but it was some days before I got hold of the right way to make it. My heart disease and dropsy disappeared and I got entire ly well. "There Is much in making It. That is. It has to be boiled longer than ordinary coffee, but when I got It made good. It was fine, and now I wouldn't have coffee in my house at all. I am sure the Post um Food Coffee saved my life, and I am perfectly well. Oh, how much I would llko to see Postum In every home. I can't praise it enough. I send you here the .names of about twenty people that have been helped by leaving off coffee and using Fostum Food Coffee. (Then follows a list of names and addresses.)
