In the report in our last issue of the proceedings of the Ituronebraneh of the Ontario Medical Association, mention was inadvertently omitted of' the fact that Dr. Thomas Gray of St. Tbitrias, 00, old Clinton boy, whc; was presetit at -the meeting and read an instructive paper on the "Uses and Abuses of the ..1. -Ray,' was made an bonourary member of the Huron Association. Dr. Gray in his reply said he deemed It a' great honour and •privil- ege to become an honorary member of the oldest county Medical Associa- tion in Ontario. "And," he added, "the'honour is doubly :enhanced by the fact that the-mover-and-Setonder were two of the oldest living membets of the Association, 1/r. William Gunn and 'Dr. • :Ts W'.
