THE VIRGINIA MEDICAL JOURNAL.

The September number of this very valuable work,
edited by Drs. McCaw and Otis, gives evidence OF
continued energy on the part of those accomplished
and scientific gentlemen. 1t contains articles Of a
most useful and il sructve character to medicalmen
especially, and is also entertaining to the general
reader in some of its calculations. An article emit.
,led"The medical evidence in the Gaze of Madeline
Smith," is particularly interesting.
This journal deserves, as is receiving, the patron
age Of the physicians of the country 1t keeps pace
with the progressive spirit Of the age in the science
to which it is devotedi and it's encouragement, we
trust, will continue to be increased The following
notice from the dispatch" OF this city, is high and
generous testimonial to it's merits:
VIRGINIA MEDICAL JoURyAL.-Ths spirited pc.
rodical, with lis usual punctuaty, is before ue, and
we defy any to find fault with it's table of con
tents, or its typographical finish. This journal is
now the sole representative Of Virginia Medical Lite
nature, and well deserves liz high reputation and in
creasing prosperity.
The leading editorial is an able and interesting
production, urging, with great force, the claims Of
the Richmond Medical School, to the support OF the
Virginia profession. 1t shows oonclusively, that
the pretended clinical advantages of the North.
ern colleges are neither useful or PRACTICAL
A thousand persons crowdng the wards Of
hospital, can never learn the symptoms or
treatment Of disease, whilst the student in the
Richmond Institute, with fewer patients, having at
all tunes access to the hospital wards, can study
each case from its inception to it's termination. The
editor advocates the union of this college with the
University Of Virginia, and closes his article with
some very striking and suggestive remarks.
