EXTRAORDINARY SURGICAL AND MEDICAL OPERA
TIoNs-The Lancet of this day contains an editorial
article which will excite a most remarkable sensa-
ton in the medical portion of the community A
perfect solution of all the somewhat enigmatica
medical movements which have recently taker
place, has at length been obtained.
1t seems that whilst the two rival schools, with
all their partizans, were engaged in their campaign
OF competition, third party" composed of some
otthe most sagacious, shrewd and prudent members
of the profession, has been silently formed and has
been endeavorng TO carry out very cunning
course of policy. This third organization, which
has apparently aimed at less than the annihila.
ton remodelling of both Colleges, the overthrow
of opposing cfques and the establishment of a medi-
calJournal in opposition 10 the Lancet, whose indie
pendent and popular character rendered il disa-
greeable object, is headed by three or four well
known physicians, ard some others of less note in
the medical world. What is somewhat remarkable,
this new party has until now managed TO the
favor oithe very parties whose ruins itself to
be established. Rumors calculated to initiate
against particular individuals connected with both
schools, have been quietly set afoat, and in
Der of instances the authors and originators have
been but too successful in procuring public circua
ton those statements. 1t is very true that much
valuable and truthful information relative to the
state and movements of the medical profession in
this city, has also been thus communicated to the
world, but the ingenuity and subety of some of the
parties concerned, are really now exhibited in a
most curious light.
1t is quite evident that the aim of certain Doctors
In this city has been to "make uses of every
agency, public and private the press and the tongue,
in order to affect their private purposes. Under
tie guise of great apparent zeal for the publication
of the medical profession, these have been en-
deavoring most comfortably TO &c feather their own
nests" The Lancet reveals the whole matter. A
great explosion will of course take place New
light will dawn on many medical afiairs-the Col
leges will learn who their friends, and all parties
will De taught caution, il not honesty
Besides this extraordinary disclosure, the Lancet
of this week contains very remarkable article on
the Life OF a Medical Student, and a comparison
OF English, French, and American Surgeons" The
name of the writer of this article (Which is one of a
series) is not known; and, from several crcum-
stances, great curiosity has been excited TO
tain the authorship of these striking papers. An
elaborate article on Cancer" from the accom-
plshed pen OF DR.. lie Conte, of Savannah, Georgia.
Is also given, together with all the medical news of
the week, and report of one of the most extraord
nary surgical operations ever known in this or any
other country, which was performed at the City
Hospital last Saturday by DIR. Buck.
Altogether this number of the Lancet will amply
repay perusal In few weeks the Lancet will enter
on its second year, enlarged and improved, and at
a slightly increased price. 1t is deemed advisable
to defer the proposed improvements till the end of
the present year, and the journal, therefore, now
remains at the old price.
