The Science of Medicine.

A medical student at Paris SAYS. in a letter
10 the New York Commercial Advertiser,
that he once heard Magendie. the celebrated
French physician and physiologist. open a
lecture somewhat in the following terms:
"GENTLsaRS: Medicine is a great humbuy.
| know 1t Is called a science-science, indeed /
Il Is nothing like science. Doctors are mere
empires, when they are not chsrlatans We
ara as ignorant as men can be. Who knows
anything in the world about incidence Gen.
uemen, you have done me the honor to come
here to attend nv lectures and must tell you
frankly now, IN the beginning. that know
nothing in the world about medicine. snd

Don't think for a moment that hasent's read

the medical school; l know that this man
teaches anatomy. that man teaches pathology.
another man physiology, such a one therapxu-
ties, such another materia medica What's
known about all that Why. gentlemen. at
the school OF Montpelier. (God knows it W as
famous enough in It's day J they discarded the
study of anatomy, and taught nothing but the
dlspensarv; and the doctors educated there
knew just as much and were quite as success
ful as any Others. | repeat it. nobody knows
anything about medicine. True enough, We
are gathering facts every day. We can pro-
duce typhas fever, for example. by injecting
a certain substance into the veins of a dog;
that's something; we can alleviate diabetes,
aud | see distinctly we are fast approaching g
tie day when phthisis can be cured As well As
any other disease.
We are collecting facts in the right spirit;
and dare say in century or SO the accumu-
lation OF facts NAV enable our successors 10

there is no such thing now as medical science.
" ho can tell me how 10 cure tie headache9 or
the govt? or diseases OF the heart? Nobody.
Oh you tell me doctors cure people grant

Let ne tell YOU, gentlemen, what | did when

5000 or 4,Goo patients passed through my

they would IrrItate themselves until thew go

terprise which started this noble line has been so
richly rewarded and encouraged If a thing Is
worth doing at all, it is worth doing we'll, and the
pro2rietors of the Roanoke and jamestown have
adhered TO that maxim in the construction, equip
ment, and all the appliances for efficiency, ease
and comfort in those elegant, rapid and luxurious
steamers These two vessels are models of naval
architecture, and, in point Of speed, We are told
are unsurpassed one Of them unequalled by any
