METRoPoLITAS MEDICAL CoLLEGE.-An In
troductory the first Course in his new Institution
was delivered on Tuesday evening in the Hall Of the
| College, No. CO East Broadway, by Prot. A. Curtis,
President Of the Literary and Scientific Institute and
| PbyscoMe College, Of Cincinnati, Ohio.
As reason for establishing Medical College in
this City, the Doctor stated that not because there
not enough here already, for there enough
in number well endowed and conducted by emf
for their talents their general attanmens their
untring industry and genuine benevocnce. But II
was because these very had complained Of the de-
fects and the Of Medical Science and the ine
fcency uncertainty and mschiefs Of the practice and
had invited all lovers Of science and mainly TO aid in
correcting and reforming them both. To sustain these
positions he quoted passages from Professors Paine and
Bartlett and by sustaining them by the testimony Of
other medical teachers and writer's In the principal cit
les Of Europe and America He stated that they OF the
new College bad come to aid in this work Of REFORM
and hoped that they should receive from the faculty
| the right hand of fellowship.
He then quoted from authors Paine, Bartlett and
others to chow that the whole foundation which the
Allopathc, Homeopathic and Eclectic Systems were
based were wrong and needed entire revolution
That irritation fever and Inflammation had been pro-
nounced by different and the same men, TO be both
physiological and pathological, that they had been
called "the great orders Of disease that make up the
great amount Of human maades and form the grand
outlets of life" That fever and Inflammation bad been
considered both the same and distinct and that yet no
characteristics between them had been given but that
the whole subject had been involved in darkness
Notwithstanding all this they had been pronounced
dsease and made the bases of all the works extant
pathology and the theory and practice Of medicine.
He stated that efforts had been made TO reform medi
cine by Allopathiss, Homeopahists, Ecechcs, Hydro
pahists and others but that all being built on the sup
posed pathological character Of irritation fever and
inflammation radically wrong and must be revo
luiionized when the practice, too, will be reformed
That the practice he approved based on the reverse
doctrine, aud its practice entirely reversed. IL
embraced only physiological remedies. He had shown
that medicine, taught in the schools Is not science
but that true medicine being constituted OF the laws
tina. construct, protect and sustain the human body
be definite and certain any other science and
its practice must be definite and conformable 10 rule
a. the operations of Astronomy the calculations OF
Mathematics that when this science IL correctly under
stood and developed medicine will be given in any
case without definite knowledge Of the wants OF the
system and of the just adaptation of the means to the
end.
The regular course to the students commences Mt the
Hall at o'clock this morning, and ladies as well a.
gentlemen are received into the College.
