it was
On motion of Dr. Austin Flint
Resolved, That this Society recommend to the members of the
medical profession of this county for their signatures, the memorial
to Congress in behalf of the medical officers of the navy, praying for
an assimilated rank, believing that the action on the part of our Na-
tional Legislature asked for, is due not only to the medical department
of the navy, but to the character of the medical profession generally.
Resolved, That this resolution be published, and that copies be trans-
mitted to the representatives in Congress from this district, and to the
Senators from this State.	From the regular minutes,
Jno S. Trowbridge, Sec.
