(-as transcribed from page 317)
The organization of the American Medical Association in 1846-47, as a national representative body composed of delegates from the several states, gave a fresh and strong impetus to the work of uniting the members of the profession in social organizations for mutual improvement and scientific advancement, in every part of the country. Wisconsin as well as nearly every state in the Union has her medical society, and a few years ago the medical society of the Chippewa Valley was organized, to which a good many doctors from Eau Claire county held membership, and in 1902, the Eau Claire County Medical Society was formed with the greater part of the practicing physicians as members. The first president of the society was Dr. J. V. R. Lyman, who in turn has been succeeded by doctors J. F. Farr, Chr. Midelfart, D. W. Ashum, A. L. Payne and F. S. Cook. The purpose of the organization is to bring the doctors closer together, and create a good fellowship feeling among them, and for the discussion of important medical subjects. Special papers are discoursed at the meetings by members of the society on the important issues of the day, calculated to impart to the members the latest discoveries in medical science for the up-to-date treatment of disease.
The following is a list of the members of the society:
Dr. D. W. Ashum, P. B. Amundson, J. O. Arnson, J. C. Baird, R. R. Chase, W. J. Clancy, F. S. Cook, M. C. Crane, H. F. Derge, J. F. Farr, L. H. Flynn, H. A. Fulton, J. B. Goddard, Dr. E. P. Hayes, E.
