THE MEDICAL ASSOCIATION

OF

THE STATE OF ALABAMA.

THE MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF 1906.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE FIRST DAY.

BIRMINGHAM, Tuesday, April 17, 1906.

The Association was called to order at 12 M., in the Hall of the City Armory, by the President, Eugene DuBose Bondurant, of Mobile.

Rev. Dr. J. A. Duncan, of Birmingham, offered the following prayer:

Our Father in Heaven, we thank Thee that we are taught that Thou art the living God and that our life is from Thee. We thank Thee that there is assembled in our midst at this time, this body of men who are seeking to overcome the enemies and destroyers of life. We pray Thee that Thou will bless them abundantly. Grant to enlarge their vision, that they may realize that in all things they are called upon to do they are workers together with the God who gives and sustains and preserves life. In their close touch with the bodies of men may they not forget the mind and the spirit of men; and in their handling of the material self may they not forget that there is more than the eye can see; than the scalpel can cut. Bless them, O Lord! in their efforts looking to the prevention of disease, and relieve those who are suffering, and grant from out of the labors of this body shall come better things for humanity. Help them to teach men that the result of evil doing is a disease not only of the spirit, but of the body, and that foolish living is wrong living. May they in all their medical practice, show to their patients that clean lives, and right lives are healthful lives, and lives that the blessing of God will rest upon.

Bless, O Lord! the officers and members of this Association, and keep their families while they are absent from them. Bless the

work of their hands and grant that good may come to this City and State through their labor. May they be able to suppress charlatanry and dishonesty. May they be true men working earnestly

for the good of their fellows.

Be with us all this day, and all the days of this convention, and through all the days of our lives; and then, Our Father, grant us Eternal Life, we ask for Jesus sake. Amen.

Dr. Duncan was followed by Dr. Lewis Coleman Morris, President of the Jefferson County Medical Society, who delivered the Address of Welcome in behalf of the society.

Mr. President, Members of the Medical Association of the State of Alabama, Ladies and Gentlemen:

In behalf of the Jefferson County Medical Society it is my privilege and my pleasure to bid you welcome to Birmingham. We feel most deeply, and appreciate most highly, the signal honor you have bestowed upon us by your presence here to-day, and in the names of each one of our two hundred members, I greet you and extend to you a cordial welcome.

Your loyal Daughter Society contemplates with pardonable pride the achievements of this Association during the past year. With our sister states on two sides, toiling in the throes of the dread scourge, yellow fever, with chaos and panic rampant in the land, the lives and property of the citizens of Alabama were absolutely safe-guarded. How many of the citizens of our State appreciate how this result was accomplished? How many know that by reason of cur superb organization and public health system, there are five able and active men in each and every county in this State, who are pledged to guard and protect the health of their respective counties, and that these 335 men, who represent the brain, nerve and sinew of the Medical Profession of Alabama neither ask for, nor do they receive, directly or indirectly, a single penny of remuneration from County or State. It was the harmonious workings of this machinery, steered and directed by the able brain and calm judgment of our State Health Officer, which enabled our citizens to perform their usual vocations in security and which saved our State hundreds of thousands of dollars. Gentlemen, I feel honored in welcoming you to our county and city and to our homes and firesides.
