FISKE MEDICAL PRIZE QUESTIONS.

The Trustees of the Fiske Fund, propose
to the members Of the Rhode Island Medl-
cal Society, the following Questions for the
Premiums to be awarded ut the succeeding
Annual Meeting OF SAID Society, To oe held
at Providence, oA the last Wcdnasday IA
June, a. ID. 1885.
Question isi-What are the causes and
nature OF Iheu.ndtisln, and the best mode Vi
treatment to be employed therein
Question 2d.-W hat are the causes and
nature Of Purpura H@morrhaglca, aud the
best mode oi treatment to be employed there
IN?
/ 1t is the wish of the Trustees that the Dis
sertatlons should possess as little of a theo-
retcai and as much of Il practical character Us
possible: 1t is therefore recommended that
the writers dwell no more upon the theory Of
'the causes and nature" than they may deem
necessary for Il clear understanding of the
principles by which they were guided in the
selection ot the treatment by them adopted.
! For the best dissertation Oh each oi the IL
bove subjects the Trustees will award and
pay the sum oi forty dollars, or will present
II gold medal Of equal value, at the option OF
the author.
Every competitor for the premium or pre-
miums, must conform to the following regu-
latlonS, Wiz
1st. lie is requested TO forward to one OF
the Trustees, Oh or before the first day OF
February, 1886, free of all expenses, copy
Of his Dissertation, with motto written
thereupon, and also accompanying 1t u sealed
letter, having the same motto Inscribed upon
the outside, and his name and place OF resi-
dence within. Both dissertation aud letter
must be written lii Il clear and egible man
ncr.
I'd. Neither name nor any other mark
shall be put upon the Dissertation, whereby
the author will be known to the Trustees.
3D.. Previously to receiving the premium
awarded the author OF the successful Dlsser-
tation he must transfer to the Trustees,in be-
half of the Rhode Island Medical Society,
all his right, title, and interest IN and to the
same, for the use, benefit ana behooi Of the
Fiskc Fund.
! The letters accompanying the unsuccess-
ful Dissertations will be destroyed by the
Trustees, unopened; and the Dissertations
may be procured by their respective authors
from the Trustee to whom they were direct
ed, if application be made therefor within
! three months from the annual meeting; but
all such as remain uncailcd ior, after the eX
piraloh ot the time here specified, will be
considered as property of the Society, to be
disposed of in such manner may be
deemed most advisable.
