LONDON, TUESDAY, 00T. 4, 1864.

The opening of the Metropolitan Medical Schools
as usual gave occasion for int!oductory lectures,
which were of the average excellence. It is in-
teresting to trace the progress of scieoce in this im-
partant department, and especially of late years
may this be noticed. At St. Bartholomew's Mr.
CALL ENDER made the address, and his remarks are

their work, atd would study medicine as a "grand

juterests all classes of society, and which must come
home to all in the ecd, for the study and practice
of medicine virtually concerns all ranks of the

mints of the age or its worthy fulfilment of its
high calling 'must ever be one of the blessings or
curses of the generation of the day. Mr. CALLEN-
DIR impressed upon them the necessity of being
scientific; because we live in a
practical age it is
no reasoc why we should neglect science. Also his
injunctions respecting the
second

cure are much to be commended, forming as they
do so distinct a contrast to the not-
tons that un-
fortunately prevailed to so great an extent in the
last generation, when it was believed that nothing
but strict attention to rules and regimen could arrest
the progress of disease, or be eventually the occa-
sion of effecting cure, "Fresh air, diet, cleauli.
