Records, 1890-1931.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/191259112

The four volumes of records, for the period 1890 to 1931, contain treasurer's and secretary's reports followed by a summary of the address on a specific medical topic delivered by an appointed member or invited guest. The addresses and subsequent discussions encompassed medical theories concerning a specific disease, diagnostic method, a prescribed drug, or a case study (with temperature charts). The topics included alcoholism, insanity, obstetrical care, epilepsy, consumption, heat exhaustion, "industrial" medicine, and the effects of sulfur springs. There were also addresses on hospital fund-raising techniques, the medical corps during World War I, the history of Worcester hospitals, and malpractice suits. The volumes contain newsclippings and a photograph of the group in 1890. The addresses given during the mid-20th century concerned many non-medical topics, such as descriptions of Civil War battles and United States relations with Latin-America. Several speakers were area historians, e.g., George Hubbard Blakeslee (1871-1954).
