on Physiology IN the rooms of the Eucean Society
we're exceedingly popular, and highly interesting. In
these lectures developed the first order of eio-
quence. In the proposed series, he will be strictly and
severely scientific, philosophical and inductive. They
are intended entirely for of science, aud students
in medicine.
In The absence Of all ambition-all eff nt-all enter
prise among our medical science, DIR. Sleigh comes
forward with the highest character in hisprofssion and
an energy which nothing quail No law can shut
his mouth as il did Rutgers College. OF his energy
