Duncan, who was also president of the Bank of Mississippi, and other physicians, directed the profession along the Mississippi front. Dr. Robert Dalton, who came from North Carolina to Aberdeen, Dr. John Clopton, Dr. Hatch, Dr. John M. Tindall, the Sykes brothers, all of Aberdeen; Dr. Green, of Pontotoc, Dr. Higgason and Dr. Reuben Davis, of Athens; Drs. Gray and Holland and a few younger men controlled the profession in the eastern counties. Sixty years ago their rulings on medical and sanitary subjects were laws to be observed. To-day physicians wonder how any one escaped from their hands alive. Changed conditions of life did necessarily suggest changes in practice, so that the youngest physician in the state to-day knows a thousand methods and remedies which were hidden from the pioneers of the profession here.

books for 1866, 1867, 1868, 1869, 1870 and 1871 can not be found, nothing can be stated with certainty respecting meetings or officers.
The fifth annual meeting was held at Holly Springs in April, 1872, Dr. W. M. Comp- ton, the outgoing president, presiding with Dr. J. W. M. Shattuck, secretary. The election of officers took place April 4, when Dr. C. B. Galloway of Canton was chosen president; D. W. Booth, W. M. Lea, J. D. Burche and L. Shackleford, vice presidents; J. W. M. Shat- tuck, recording secretary; P. F. Whitehead, corresponding secretary, and W. G. Sykes, treasurer. The delegates to the American Medical association then appointed were J. R. Hicks, W. Y. Gadberry, W. L. Lipscomb, Thomas D. Isom, Lee Shackleford, W. M. Comp- ton, J. M. Taylor and S. C. Gholson. A motion by Dr. Capers to refuse affiliation with the national association, owing to "legislation partisan in its course " being on their record books, was not entertained. The motion of Dr. Gadberry, to publish the proceedings of the fifth meeting of the association with names of members, constitution, laws and papers on special subjects, was adopted and the work therein outlined carried out in the Excelsior book and job office at Columbus, Miss., under the supervision of Drs. A. A. Lyon, J. W. M. Shattuck, and C. B. Galloway.
