Darton President of State Veterinarians. . . Dr. Rae of Charlotte Discusses Some Important Facts in Clinical Diagnosis

Asheville, June 28—J.S. Dorton of Shelby was elected president of the North Carolina State Veterinary Medical association, at the business session of the 21st annual meeting, opening here tonight. The session will close tomorrow.

Other officers elected were R.F. Huffman, Wilmington, first vice president; Dr. S.A. Alexander, Monroe, second vice president; and J.P. Spoon, Burlington, re-elected secretary and treasurer.

“Some Important Facts in Clinical Diagnosis” was the subject of an interesting treatise by Dr. H.C. Rae of Charlotte.

The following resolution was passed:

“Resolved, that the association go on record as endorsing the efforts of the bureau of animal industry and the state veterinarian to eradicate tuberculosis from cattle in the state. “that we also endorse the plan of our state officials in their attitude toward the part of the practicing veterinarian in the work, namely, the testing of accredited herds after they are accredited by the bureau, and all co-operative tuberculosis eradicating work in which the private practitioner is engaged.”
