Medical Conference.
(?EB PBESS ASSOCIATION.) Wellington, April 2. At the medical conference at Napier the following motion by Dr Cahill was carried : — " That no one centre in New Zealand can supply sufficient material for clinical instruction." Wellington, Nelson, Auckland, and Napier voted for it, and Christchurch and Dunedin against it. 5?- The question of the relations of Friendly Societies to the profession was considered, and a code of regulations to be binding on the medical men of the colony was unanimously adopted. The new points in this code are — That no member of a Friendly Society whose income is over £200 a year can be placed on the medical list, and there can be no contract for mileage over three miles — that is the medical officers of Friendly Societies cannot in future be compelled to travel over three miles to visit a patient under their Lodge agreements. It was also decided that children under sixteen years of age shall be considered as members of a family.
