FIRST IN HISTORY.
B.M.A. Conference Opens at Melbourne. CENTENARY TRIBUTE. (Received 12.30 p.m.) MELBOURNE, this day. The most important conference of medical men ever held in Australia began at Melbourne this morning when the British Medical Assoei&iiqn Congress opened. It is the first B.M.A. congress held in the southern hemisphere. The occasion was also notable for the fact that it brought for the first time to Melbourne the liner Aorangi which carried * a large contingent of the doctors. Melbourne was selected for the conference because of the Centenary, and a further homage was paid by the election of a Melbourne doctor, Sh James Barrett, as president for the year. The keynote of the proceedings was a demonstration of the dignity and importance of medicine in modern life.
