!UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE
kJ COMPANY, No. 8, Waterloo-place, Pall-Mall, London, S.W.
The Funds or Property of the Company, as at 31st December,
1857, amounted to £07,801, invested in Government or other
approved securities.
Annual Income upwards of 2111.000 from Premiums alone.
The lion. FRANCIS SCOTT, M.P., Chairman,

CHAREISIT.RWICK OURTIS, Esq., Deputy-Chairman.
INVALID Livrs.—Persons not in sound health may have their
lives insured at equitable rates.
ACCOMMODATION IN LOAN TRANSACTIONS.—OnIy one-half of the
Annual Premium, when the insurance is for life, requires to be
paid for the first five years, simple interest being charged on the
balance. Such arrangement is equivaleut to an immediate advance
of 50 per cent. upon the Annual Premium, without the borrower
having recourse to the unpleasant necessity of procuring sureties,
or assigning and thereby parting with his Policy, during the cur-
rency of the loan, irrespective of tho great attendant expenses in
such arrangements.
The abo►e mode of insurance has been found most advantageous
when policies have been required to cover monetary transactions,
or when incomes applicable for insurance are at present limited, as
it only necessitates half the outlay formerly required by other com-
panies before the present system was instituted by this office.
Loans are granted likewise on real and per: oval securities.
ADVANTAGE OF INSURING BEFORE DEC. 31, 1858.—Policies effected
before this date will participate to a greater extent than if delayed
after that period.

tion to the Resident Director,

Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary
Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of
Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c.
The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their ph) sical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being
is entitled.
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there
are principles of personal management which cannot be violated
without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret
succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those pe-
nalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be
removed, and how the evil and its consequences may he avoided,
and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infir-
mity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science
cannot apply a cure.

...
44-.-• %) :---NVU/4- graduates lost their connection with the i ilteraitk *air .. ' •
they shook hands with the assembled professort at thed- 010
- • nation ceremony. This can no longer be alleged. The
Universities of Scotland Bill, so well prepared and so
ably carried through, by Lord Advocate Inglis, will
bind the graduate to his alma mater. The medical .
faculty of this university have used every effort to
obtain for graduates in medicine the same privileges for
graduates in arts. Their efforts have teen successful.' The
act is calculated to improve the undition of Scottish uni-
versities. It will encourage the student 'to go through a
regular university curriculum in place of piasecutinp; their
studies in a desultory manner at various schools 'apd colleges.
And it will thus, it is hoped, ensure that traintuaz, which is
so essential for the successful prosecution of medleine. It
will also encourage a prelinainaty education in literature
and philosophy, and will thus tend to raise the racial status
in graduates. The professor remarked that he did not look
upon a university tis merely a betard of examiners, whose
duty was simply to test the qualifications of -randi-
,'ates without reference to collegiate training. Ever!'
university ought to have within itself the meant
of training the pupil during his curriculum, of ob.
serving the annual progress in his studies, and of exc.-
ei9ieg a certain degree of surveillance over his general de-
portment, so that when candidatea aypear fur honours, that
appearance may be regarded as a surer crizerion for their
acquirements than that afforded by a mete professional
examinailoo. After eulargintr upon this topic, the PTO.. '
fesic.: concluded by an eloquent appeal to the graduates in
re'a,i'n to the importaat e.titios which lay before them in
the warfare of life, both as Christians and members of the
medical profession.
When the applause which followed the termination of the
address had subsided, the et aduates passed before the pro-
fessors, and were individually congratulated by each pro-
fessor. The Principal then closed the proceedings by

3aDICAL GRADUATION AT EDINBURGH.

EDINBURGH, AUGUST 2.
The annual public meeting of Senatus Acadamicus, for
formally conferring the degrees in medicine upon the suc-
cessful candidates, was held to-day in the University. About
500 persons, including many ladies, were present. We also
observed Dr. Conolly, Sir Charles Hastings, and several
other members of the British Medical. Association, who ha
remained in Edinburgh to be present at this ceremony. The
Principal had as usual on his right hand the Lord Provost
and ruagistrates in their scarlet.robes. This will, we believe,
be the last appearance of the municipal authorities upon
such an occasion, as by the Scottish Universities Act of this
session an end has been put to the vassalage of the Univer-
sity to the Town Council. After prayers in Lain, the oath
was administered. Tue Promoter then introduced each new
graduate by name to the Principal, who. addressing each
Individual by name as he passed before him, placed on his
head the doctor's cap, and pronounced the words, " Te
doctoreni in mcdicind creo." The following is a copy of the
official list of graduates, with the titles of their respctive
theses. To the three gentlemen before whose names three
asterisks ate placed, the gold medals for the best disserta-
tions were presented in due form by the Principal. ThGse

" Monograph

(From the Official Report.)
The deaths registered in London in the week ending last
Saturday, July 31st, are 1,161, and exhibit a slight increase
on those of the previous week, when the number was 1,132.
In the ten years 1848-57 the average number of deaths in
the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,152; but as
the death, now returned occurred in a population which
has annually increased, they can only be compared with the
average after it has been raised in proportion to the increase,
a correction which will make it 1,267. The comparison
thus math, shows a reduction of more than a 100 in the deaths
of last week; but it is necessary- to ;email that cholera was
spreading with great violence in:the last week cf July, 1849,
and with diarrhoea was fatal in 1,007 cases ; that the same
epidemic had commenced at this time in 1854; and there-
fore the average which comprises both periods is too high to
be used for comparison in a season which, like the present,
is comparatively healthy. It will be found that the mor-
tality of last week approaches very near an average derived
from noe-epidemic seasons.
If the deaths of last week had been according to "the
healthy rate" of mortality, which is derived from those dis-
tricts of England where the mortality is least, they would
have been 799. Therefore the deaths that occur in excess
of this number may be designated unnatural; and in the
present instance these amount to 362, though it is certain
that the number thus described is understated, as will ap-
pear from the fact that the mortality of the selected coun-
try districts includes many deaths which properly fall under
the same denomination.
The mortality from diarrhoea shows an increase ; the
deaths having risen from 127 in the previous week to 168
last week. Five occurred in the sub-district of St. Mary,
Paddiugton, 5 in Camden-town, 9 in Islington East, 6 in
Christchurch (Southwark), 5 in Lambeth Church sub-dis-
trict, second :art. Fifteen deaths are referred to cholera,
and 12 of these occurred to children. In the case of a man
who died in Black-bull-yard, Gray's-inn-lane, the disease
is returned as cholera Asiatica. The fatal cases of ferule-
tint. are still numerous; they rose last week to 78. Five
deaths from it occurred in the sub-district of Haggerstone
West, 2 of which were in the Shoreditch workhouse, and were
these of a man and woman who were brought on the 23d ult.
from 11, Victoria-place, Brunswick-street. Two children
have recently died from cynanche tonsillaris in the house of
a labourer in Putney, and three other children in the family
have suffered from it. Fifty-six children died of measles;
6 of these in St. Saviour, Southwark.
The three oldest persons whose deaths are in this return,
are a man, aged 94 years, and two widows who were 95.
Last week the births of 877 boys and 780 girls, in all
1,657 children, were registered in London. In the ten cor
responding weeks of the years 1848-57 the average number
was 1,459.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height
of the barometer in the week was 29.787 in. The
highest barn uetrical reading was 30.07 in. on Saturday.
The mean temperature of the week was 59.6 deg:, which is
2.5 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years (as
determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean daily temperature
was below the average on every day, and on Thursday the
extent of depression was 6.2 deg. The thermometer fell to
its lowest point on Thursday, viz., 43.8 deg., and rose to its
highest in the shade on Saturday, which was 78.2 deg. The
range of the week was therefore 34.4 deg.; the mean daily
range was 24.5 deg. The difference between the mean dew
point temperature and air temperature was so great as
101 deg. Thc mean degree of humidity was only 68. The
mean temperature of the water of the Thames was 651 deg.
On Sunday morning the wind, which was in the south-west,
blew sometimes with a pressure increasing to 1; lbs. on the
square foot, and the trees in Greenwich-park suffered
damage to an unusua amount.

Principal LEE having celled upon the Promoter to address
the gentlemen upon whom degrees had been conferred,
Professor BALFOUR congratulated the new graduates, in
name of the senates, on their having attained the aummes
honours niedicinae. The degree which had been obtained
implied, he said, not only a certain amount of preliminary
and scientific study, but also a good practical knowledge of
the profession of medicine. It conferred, to use the words
of the diploma, " amplissimam potestatem medicinam,
übique gentium, leg,endi, docendi, and faciendi." (Cbeers.)
For many years this power has been to a certain extent
limited in Britain by restrictive regulations. Thee re-
strictions are now at last abolished, and a free scope is given
to all duly qualified medical men to practise every
department of the profession, in all parts of her
Majesty's dominions, without let or hindrance. All that is
required under the new act is, that the education and
examinations shall be satisfactory to the Medical Council.
And here I may remark that this act has been supported in
its various stews by the British Medical Association—that
great institution, which, having commenced under the
auspices of Sir Charles Hastings (an Edinburgh graduate)
and men of a like stamp, has 11Gw risen to eminence
and renown, and which has at this time honoured
our city by holding its meetings here—presided over
by oar deeply-respected and revered Alison, whose
logical reasonings and sound medical instructions have
long cast a halo round our school, who is known wherever
medicine is cultivated, and whose name carries with it a
talismanic charm which rallies his affectionate pupils every-
where. We have welcomed that body within our walls. We
have rejoiced to meet in friendly and social intercourse with
the members of our enlightened profession from all parts of
the empire, many of whom were educated at this university,
and retain towards it sentiments of affectionate regard.
Such meetings are peculiarly interesting and important.
They tend to the advancement of medicine, they unite those
who are labouring in one common cause, they cement
friendships, and they encourage profitable and lasting
intercourse. He (Professor Balfour) congratulated them
(the graduates) on entering the profession at a time
when it has been emancipated from the thraldom
of apprenticeships and apothecaries' acts. Scotland,
England, and Ireland are now alike open to all
qualified medical practitioners. We owe our most cor-
dial thanks to the Right Hon. Win. Cowper and to Lord
Elam for their successitil exertions in obtaining for us this
boon. We are also not a little indebted to the exertions of
some of our own graduates. Professor Balfour then glanced
at the present state of the medical department. He next
spoke of the joyful epoch which the graduates had attained
in their career, Nrid reminded them that there was no time
for indolence if they hoped to succeed in the profession
which they had embraced. The warning given to the Chris-
tian is not less applicable to the man of science," Never think
that yon are already perfect, but press onwards." Let not your
honours and requirements puff you up and make yon think
of yourselves more highly than you ought to think; hut
think soberly, and cultivate that humbleness of mind which
characterises true greatness. Let your aim be to advance
medicine and to hold it up on a solid basis—on rational
principles—and by en industrious method. Be not guided
by a blind experience, which is nothing but empiricism.
Endeavour to raise the superstructure of medicine on sound
principles and rational experiments. Be prepared at all
times to give a reason for the system of practice which you
adopt, and the medical treatment you pursue. Let
your motto be— its addict usjurare in int mag
ed istri.
The degrr e this day conferred and so well earnis
alike a university honour and a license to practice. By a
certain number the doctorate will be considered as the
threshold to a scientific career. Some of you (said the pro-
fessors) have already attained distinction in science. The
thesis presented this season in the departments of natural
history, chemistry, and botany show that there are among
you those who promise to have their names enrolled in the
records of science. After adverting to the peculiar facilities
for the practical prosecution of science in all its depart-
ments afforded by the University of Edinburgh, Professor
Balfour said—" I add, with confidence, the chemical
department is about to be superintended by a man of
European fame, who will shed a lustre on our university
—whose zeal in science has placed him high in the
ranks of chemists, and whose remarkable powers of
teaching promise to attract students to Edinburgh from
all parts of the world. We welcome among us this day Dr.
Lyon Playfair." (Loud And repeated plaudits, after which

On Saturday there was a numerous assemblage at the
anatomical Theatre, Bartholomew's Hospital, of medical
arid scitifle gentlemen, and others interested in the sani-
tary conditica; of the population, for the purpose of re-
ceiving some expiOations of a process which has been
designated the
process 17.11 cony, after the name of the dis-
tinguished chemist, M. Falcony, whose reputation stands
deservedly high on the Continent, LI connection with this
department of chemical science. M. Falcony has succeeded
in bringing to perfection two processes, one for preventing
decomposition of the human body after death, and of arrest-
ing it even after it has set in ; and the other for permanent
preservation, or, to use a more familiar expression, for em-
balming, the body. It is to the former that the
attention of the general public will more par-
ticularly be directed, inasmuch as, in a sanitary point
of view, nothing can be of more importance than to be
put in possession of the means, at a moderate cost, of pre-
venting the decomposition of a body which it is our custom
in England to retain for a fortnight if possible. There are
some diseases which are the cause of death, where decom-
position sets in so rapidly that the greatest danger often
attends this practice; and, in too many instances, amongst
the poorer classes, compelled to sleep even in the same room
with the dead relative, numerous cases of infection and
fever have taken place. Now, this process of M. Falcony
for the prevention of all infectious
mixed
the with

gases, is simple and

cleanly in its application. It consists of a powder,

Covered with this dry preparation the body can be kept for
five or six weeks without any apparent change, whilst not
the slightest exhalation escapes. Mr. Farrow was present,
on Saturday, and Dr. Holden was obliging enough to favour
the gentlemen present with the results of a test to which
;hat process had been subjected at Bartholomew's. On the
9th of June, the remains of a human leg and foot which had
been amputated at the hospital were deposited in a box
filled with this preparation. The leg and foot were in an
offensive condition of putrefaction, and in a few days would
have liquified. On Saturday the box was brought into the
theatre and uncovered, when all putrescence had ceased
and the flesh had become indurated, somewhat resembling
.India rubber. Dr. Holden further stated that upon its
being put into the preparation, the offensive smell ceased
almost instantaneously. The conclusion, therefore, to be
drawn from this fact is, that if such result can be obtained
by the application of the process to a body in a high state
of putrescence and decomposition, the same application, if
made eoon after death, and before decomposition begins,
will be even more striking and efficacious. The
demonstrations were highly satisfactory. An ex-
amination was afterwards entered into of the process of
embalmiug, which is performed by the injection of a liquid,
and without the mutilation of the body, but as the explana-
tion of the details of this system would be somewhat too
technical for our columns, we feel that we shall be best per-
forming our duty to the public by inviting the immediate
and earnest attention of the Board of Health to this impor-
tant practical discovery.
