WASHINGTON MEDICAL INsTI-

, w TUTE.- 1.-The undersigned, proprietors of
the Institute, having completed arrangements which
have been for sometime in progress, are now ready
to receive students.
This institution is intended to afford instruction
to Medical students, not only by the common mode
of private pupilage (by which the preceptor, by
more imperous calls on his attention, is denied time
sufficient to do more than to direct the students in
course Of study, and perhaps to as few gen.
era questions on each author) but it is designed to
offer the student all those facilities to acquire med
ica education, which are afforded by daily lec-
lures and full examinations, and to furnish
all such collateral aids to oinsruction, as iIustra-
TIoSs by drawings, dry and wet anatomical prep
arations, pathological specimens, and chemical ex-
periments; also, demonstrations by manual and in
strumenal operations the obsteric phantome, and
the application Of surgical apparatus and bandages
The art Of prescribing and compoundng medicines
will be practically taught; and especial care will
be taken to give the student practical acquain-
tance with the modern mode Of investigation and
diagnosis by auscuation and percussion, &c.
Inc course OF instruction is intended to equal
the highest standard of medical education in this
country, and every Incentive and facility to ar
dent and Perseverng cultivation Of the principles of
the science will be afforded, to beget spirit
OF inquiry that will not rest satisfied with the acqui-
sltlon OF the period Of puPilass.

DEAR Sir: | avail myself Of leisure mo-
ment, TO thank you for the friendly wishes con-
tanned IN your note OF January lst, covering
certificate Of my membership Of the +. VT.
A. S.
have not seen the article in the National
lntelllgencer, referred to in your note, and am,
therefore, unable to say whether, in the view
OF The writer of it, have been " reasonable
or an unreasonable drinker." In my own
view OF the case-sitting both as Judge and ju-
fy, and hearing from conscience the arguments
on Doth sides; fear must bring myself in
guilty Of the latter, rather than the former
charge
All men, who use intoxicating drinks habi-
tualiy, are unreasonable; and it needs no argu-
hienl % convince reasonable men Of the impor-
'ant TACT. Il is only the wholly unreasonable,
who deny the truth, and who shut their hearts
against her solemn and oft repeated warnings.
The dram drinker is unreasonable when he
commences the habit; and our insane asylums
give proof, if other were wanting, Of the un-
reasonableness Of its continuance, in the pros
trated intellects Of its wretched inmates. Your
experience and mine of the unreasonableness
OF dram drinking, presume, does not materi-
ally differ. We have both seen interesting and
intelligent beings stumble and fall, at the very
threshold Of lite, miserable victims of intempe-
rance and other sensual indulgences. youth
OF excitement, middle age of debauchery, a
sun down Of clouds. The gallows and all the
terrible paraphernalia of an ignominious death;
have been. lifted up before those who early lis.
tened to the voice OF the charmer and refused
70 break away from her polluting embraces.
Inc drunkard cannot inherit the kingdom of
COP, is the language of the Bible and it is also
the language of common sence. Every leaf
that trembles in the summer air, every green
blade OF grass, the river as it rolls its clear
waters to the ocean, all proclaim this ruth;
and the great ocean itself, gives back, in hol-
low means to its iron bound shores, the awful,
the solemn response HThe drunkard cannot in
hertz rhe kingdom Of GoD."
Were asked, which, Of all the cardinal
virtues ESQ 10 call them,) esteemed the hand
maiden, the legitimate hand maiden of religion,
| should say at once, Temperance. She comes
not from Edom in dyed garments, but in the
white robes Of purity and truth, she extends
her soft white hand and says g in my right
hand are riches, and honors; and in my left
pleasures forever more" To reject her ten
der importuning, is to turn away from vr-
tue, to cloud the morning of life, to make dark
IFS meridian and hopeless It's close.
Excuse the haste in which | conclude and
believe me. Yours truly,
HENRY ]. WILDE.

THE HoAx-This mode of falsifying, as
well as quizzing, we hold to be very objection
able and dangerous. There are cases on re-
cord Of life being lost and reason dethroned by
hoaxing. All these deceptions and false repre-
sentatons, made out of joke or mischievous
merriment, are very reprehensble, because OF
their dangerous tendency both to promote ly-
ing and disaster. No one is pleased with be-
ing hoaxed himself. To hoax, therefore, is a
violation of the golden rule.

A LITTLE For MEDICINE. party went
out fishing and stepped up TO the bar to
drink. One Of the party feeling guilty of
course, as any decent man ought to be in
these days, as sort Of excuse when he
had poured his brandy into his glass,
apologized in the following manner.
believe in temperance, but once in
a while take little as medicine.o Upon
that, an old swelled head who was about
drinking at the time, shrugged his shoulders
with delight at having such an excuse made
for the practice, and took very satisfying
advantage of it by saying, swell, that's the
case with me, have been in the habit ol
taking little for medicine these fifteen
years" So much for this medicine exam
