It is the wish Of the Trustees that the Disserta-
tions should possess little Of theoretical and
rs much Of practical character as possible; and
that their authors avoid entering infinitely into IA
history Of the diseases. unless there be some
special reason for 50 doing as for instance may
exist with reference to the first Question now pro
pounded ; il is also recommended that they avoid
crowding their productions with detail Of re.
corded and easily accessible cases. AS all of
these points will Ee. horne in mind in making the
adjudication, competitors are advised TO dwell no
more upDn them, than may be necessary for n
clear understanding Of the subject, and Of the
principles by which they were guided in the Sc
lection Of the treatment by them recommended.
For the best Dissertation on each Of the above
Questions, the Trustees will award and pay the
