Description
The cover notice in red reads: “Postponed until June 11, 1890 on account of Johnstown Flood.” The Medical Society of Pennsylvania in Allegheny County cancelled its annual banquet in 1889 so its members could provide help for the victims of the disastrous flood that killed more than 2,200 people just four days earlier.
