8. MEDICINE.

"To be a physician, let a man read Galen and Hippocrates; but when he practises he must apply his medicines according to the temper of those men's bodies with whom he lives, and have respect to the heat and cold of climes; otherwise, that which in Pergamus, where Galen lived, was physic, in our cold climate may be poison."-SELDEN'S Table-Talk.

Note. In the opinion of an experienced physician, who has kindly furnished the following hints, medical students commit two or three important mistakes in preparing for their profession. 1. In the country, they enter an office and read medical works for one or two years before attending lectures. This is too long. It should not be more than three or six months. During this time, if the student has access to a skeleton, he can study with profit the anatomy of the bones. To read the anatomy of the nerves, muscles, blood vessels, &c., &c., at this stage of his studies, is almost a waste of time. He should endeavour, also, during the same time, to gain some acquaintance with Botany and Materia Medica. 2. Students read too much without the aid of ocular demonstration. In materia medica, for example, they should never proceed without a specimen of the article before them; they will thus become familiar, at least, with the sensible properties of medicine. 3. They consider it a drudgery to compound the medical prescriptions of their preceptor. They ought rather to regard it as a privilege; and it would be useful if the preceptor would always write out his prescriptions in Latin, so as to familiarize the pupil with the proper names of medicines. Says Dr. Dunglison, "Perhaps the

most proper work to be placed in the student's hands (during the first year of office study) would be a treatise on Physiol ogy, which contains sufficient anatomy to enable him to acquire the terms, and to have a general idea of the structure and functions of the different parts of the organism. If he possesses but a slight acquaintance with chemistry, general anatomy, or the anatomy of the textures, can be studied at this period almost as well as at any other."

To Dr. Dunglison's work, entitled "The Medical Student," every one should have recourse who wishes to become a well-read and thoroughly-accomplished physician.

A learned physician of England gives one caution which is equally applicable to all the professions. 'They have," says he, "one way of glorifying themselves, which is common to all. It is by setting forth a vast array of preparatory studies, and pretending they are indispensable in order to fit a man for the simple exercise of the practical duties that belong to them. I once saw a list of books recommended by a professor of divinity to the study of those going into holy orders. They were more numerous than the majority even of studious men ever read in their whole lives; yet these were a few prolegomena, introductory to the office of a parish priest. We, too, conceive that it befits our dignity to magnify ourselves at certain seasons. The commencement of a session (of lectures) is usually the time chosen; and then what a crowd of wonderful things are marshalled, by authority, round the entrance of our profession! and through this crowd, it is implied, every man must press his way before he can obtain admission.. Now I do protest, in the name

of common sense, against all such proceedings as this. It is a truth, that the whole circle of the sciences is required to comprehend a single particle of matter; but the most solemn truth of all is, that the life of man is threescore years and ten.' You may recommend that every man, before he enters the study of physic, shall obtain the best general education
