 Meetings were held on the second and fourth Mondays of each month , originally in Spooner 's home . Usually a member 's reading of a paper was followed by discussion of recent cases of either special interest or on which the attending physician wished the opinion of his colleagues . There were frequent presentations of remarkable tissues and organs obtained during post @-@ mortems , or unusual specimens found in nature , those of particular interest being added to the " Cabinet " of the Society .
