Address Before The Rocky Mountain Medical Association June 6 1877 PDF Download

Excerpt from Address Before the Rocky Mountain Medical Association: June 6, 1877 The Rocky Mountain Medical Association had its origin in a desire to perpetuate and keep fresh the friend ships formed among the physicians who actually crossed the Rocky Mountains to attend the meeting of the Ameri can Medical Association in San Francisco, California, in May, 1871. On that occasion there were one hundred and twenty-three physicians who traversed the Continent for this purpose, all of whom have been constituted mem bers of the Association. The ladies of the party and a few non-professional gentlemen who were in the company are recognized as honorary members. The organization is entirely social and memorial in its character. It meets annually at the same time and place as the Amer ican Medical Association. Immediately after Dr. Toner's address, at Chicago, in 1877, a resolution was passed that it and the accompanying biographical sketches of the members be published by the Society. The committee appointed for that purpose takes pleasure in presenting to the members of the Rocky Mountain Medical Associa tion this admirable discourse and desirable record in a handsome memorial volume as an appropriate souvenir of friendship. And in collecting and appending an ah stract of all the proceedings and addresses slnce this Asso ciation was instituted, we conceive that we are complying with a very general wish of the members.
