Committees were appointed and are actively at work for the Southern meeting. A committee of fifty ladies is preparing to welcome the visiting ladies and doctors.
Delegates were elected to represent Florida at the Congress of States of the American Institute of Homoeopathy at Atlantic City in June.
Representatives from the American Institute, the Southern Homoeopathic Medical Association, the Mid-West Homoeopathic Institute and the Hahnemann Institution of Chicago, spoke of the activities of these organizations.
It was voted to acquaint northern homoeopaths with the names and addresses of Florida homoeopaths, in order that winter visitors, may know that they can secure competent homoeopathic medical attention when here.
The work of securing further members and organizing the activities of the Society is going on. The members and officers are enthusiastic and the homoeopaths of the country may be justly proud of this infant organization.
The next meeting will be held in conjunction with that of the Southern Homoeopathic Medical Association at St. Petersburg in November.

Allan D. Sutherland was born in Northfield, Vermont in 1897, delivered by the local homeopathic physician. The son of a Canadian Episcopalian minister, his father had arrived there to lead the local parish five years earlier and met his mother, who was the daughter of the president of the University of Norwich. Four years after Allan’s birth, ministerial work lead the family first to North Carolina and then to Connecticut a few years afterward.
Starting in 1920, Sutherland began his premedical studies and a year later, he began his medical education at Hahnemann Medical School in Philadelphia.
Sutherland graduated in 1925 and went on to intern at both Children’s Homeopathic Hospital and St. Luke’s Homeopathic Hospital. He then was appointed the chief resident at Children’s. With the conclusion of his residency and 2 years of clinical experience under his belt, Sutherland opened his own practice in Philadelphia while retaining a position at Children’s in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department.
In 1928, Sutherland decided to set up practice in Brattleboro.
