vered at this college Monday last 70 very
large asssmblage medical Students by Professor Mott
The lecture crowded at early hour and we
observed number Of the city practitioners among the
audience On the entrance of the faculty they were
saluted with the long greetings of the class,
and when this had subsidized
Professor Morr arose and delivered very interest
ing lecture, Of which give hasty sketch He com.
menced by congratuatng the class on their sale arrival
from the various sections of the country whence they
na come iof the purpose of spending the winter he al
luded to the yearly increasing size class being
source oriie and satisfaction to the faculty and return
stitution He then said that year he made
surgery the subject of his Introductory and he regret
purposed to do at the present time He had under
stood that some erroneous IDEAS had been formed
spectng last ears lecture and that he
wished speak fully OF it. he wished TO stand
right in the of the profession nraI in this
as IN other particulars ne then went on to that the
very foundations Of surgery rested on this principle of
conservatism of life and limb, and that medical
servative surgery had now become systemazed
mutations of the human frame was longer the
revolving and prominent feature He nstanced the great
Improvement in the treatment of white swengs; for
merly every affection Of the knee joint that had any up
pearance OF this disease, at ruthlessly amp
tsted it is more. He also spoke OF the great
triumphs of exsec ton and resecton of bone in
had been effected by it. He said, however, that
vast judgment was requisite to know when to cut
and when withhold the knife and this must be learn
ed by experience alone-books could not teach it. He
then went speak Of plastic surgery and afterwards
TO tenotomy and the great triumphs achieved by the
boodess and almost painless operations of the latter
as evidences of the phsnhopic and beautiful advances
Of science He had always advocated Conservatism IN
surgery. His revered preceptor Sir Ashley Cooper
had instlled that precep into his mind In fact all the
great names in surgery had advocated it Witness the
works of the Coopers Depech, Lsrrey, Civiale, &c ;
and indeed now the not Deienda est Carthage
but Conserranda est Carthage. He would, however,
comfort young asprants for surgical honors, by
ing them that there was no danger of their being
curtaled-t would be always in demand. Among the
instances of the usefulness Of ne

fell the field Of Palo Alto. II the application OF
the gature which prolonged his life until he heard the
arms The lamen Paige too, his life preserved
by the ligature long enough for him to receive the ap
wife Both these heroes owed the Of their
days to the great principles Of conservative surgery
Alto and Resaca de la Palma. were. doubtless entirely
preserved by similar means. Gentlemen-we will
leave Monterey and Mexico until next years lecture
But he would here remark, that all these conquests
would increase the field Of usefulness for surgeons
Mexico, California, &c. would be open to them. The
learned Professor then went to impress the minds
Of the class the absolute necessity of their having
thorough knowledge of the anatomy Of the human body
that the only basis and platform of all
in surgery; and without it no could make his know

He insisted on the necessity Of being perfectly familiar
with all the operations of minor surgery without that
could perform capital or even secondary opera
tons The Professor then spoke of the importance OF
in surgery man must be thoroughly acquainted with all
the remaining branches Of medicine He concluded by
that when OPERATIONS were inpeiaivev
called for that every surgeon ought to have the GOODNESS
and determination requisite for their successful per-

almost superseded The triumphs of the Dublin
surgeons compression threatened to remove
The skill and ingenuity of Civiale might ultimately
wrest hotomy from their grasp; still enough was left
