The records of the transactions of this Association, from the date of its organization to 1875, are not in existence as far as we have been able to learn, but during that period meetings were held with commendable regu- larity and were, in the main, fairly attended. An election of officers occurred at a meeting held at the residence of Dr. M. D. Benedict on the 29th of December, 1874, resulting as follows; Dr. Gregory Doyle, Presi- dent ; Dr. E. B. Stevens, Vice-President; Dr. George W. Cook, Treasurer ; Dr. Frank H. Butler, Secretary.
Dr. M. B. Fairchild had held the office of president during the period just preceding this meeting, and read on this occasion an interesting paper on " Ventilation."
During the year 1875 the small pox raged in Syracuse, causing a great many deaths. The disease was finally crushed out by prompt measures on the part of the Board of Health and the physicians of the city. A little conflict between the board and the physicians occurred in 1877, over the fact that four of the members of the association were sued for false impris- onment, the suit being based upon the shutting up of a patient in the pest house, and a verdict of $500 was obtained against one of the defendants. The physicians protested strongly in a series of resolutions against this proceeding, and being " thus liable to be dragged into court by the caprice and venality of every aggrieved person upon real or imaginary wrongs." One of the resolutions in its entirety follows :
Resolved, That inasmuch as the city by its charter, and by the rules and regulations of its Board of Health, make it incumbent upon all physicians to report at once, any and every case of infectious or pestilential disease occurring in their practice ; and, inasmuch as the public demand of and rely upon the medical profession in times of such dire distress, for aid, comfort and protection, we hereby, as members of the medical profession, protest against being liable to be dragged into court by the caprice and venality of every aggrieved person, upon real or imaginary grounds, and we respectfully petition the city authorities to either defend us in these causeless prosecutions with the odium, dan- ger and expense of time and money attending them, or repeal that portion of the charter alluded to, that we may be forearmed by being forewarned.
In this connection it was also
Resolved, That in the small pox epidemie and its attendant evils of danger, panic, suffering and prostration of business, of the year 1875, the medical profession, seconded and upheld by the strong arm of the law, was the only competent and effectual instrument in staying the scourge and restoring the health and business of our city to its accustomed channels.
At the election for 1876, Dr. E. B. Stevens was chosen president; Dr. F. H. Butler, Vice-President ; Dr. E. S. Mumford, Secretary ; Dr. A. S. Hall, Treasurer. Arrangements were made at this meeting for holding fu- ture meetings in the building of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of the University.
