Extract

Those who were present at the Glasgow meeting of the British Medical Association will remember that our Scotch members, especially Dr. Turnbull, endeavoured to get up an excursion to Kennoway. It was hoped that at least twenty would avail themselves of the opportunity, but the hope was not fulfilled; then ten, but this also failed; lastly five, but I am sorry to say there were not even five righteous men found in the Psychology Section of the British Medical Association. The excursion was therefore abandoned.
