I purchased this because the Fortieth Annual Meeting of the American Medical Association was being held in Newport, R.I., June 25 through 28, 1889. H. R. Storer, M.D. of Newport was the Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements. "The General Sessions will be held at the Music Hall, Bellevue Avenue, adjoining the Ocean House, and those of the Sections at the Newport Casino, also immediately contiguous, which for the first time in its history, and as an act of courtesy, is permitted by its Governors to be occupied for other than the purpose for which it was built."
