LECTURE ON OPHTHALMIC AND AURAL
SURGERY.-Dr. Won Moschzlsker delivered the
first of series of lectures ol the history and
progress of ophthalmic and aural surgery last
Thursday, at the hall of the Philadelphia Uni
versity. The lecture was well attended by an
intelligent audience of both sexes. The Pro-
the sense of sight, and the many diseases to
which it IS subject gave the history and
accounts OF the progress OF the science of ophthal
moloey. He insisted particularly ON the great
necessity of SpecjdLlsm in every branch of medi-
cal science, quoting the brilliant toast of Pro.
fessor Dundae, oil the University of Utrecht,
offered at the banquet of the members of the
International Congress of0phthamology, VIII
ITO Medical specialities-to speciallsm nova
days, the essential condition of true progress of
science" At the point where to-day, human
knowledge has arrived, no mind. how powerful
soeYer it be, can fatter itself to be encyclo
p@dic; as, in order to understand any science,
and appreciate the common principles which
link one to another, a general course of know
ledge is necessary up to certain epoch, like
common starting point; so the progress of every
science individually, absolutely requires special

self for twenty years to the study Of the eye.

progress to-day says specialism!
We earnestly recommend this course OF lee
lures to the public, as they will seldom have an
opportunity of obtaining so great an amount OF
information on these important subjects as the
present one from so justly celebrated, an Oculst
and auTlst as Professor von Moschy yzisker, VINO
unites, to add TO his attraction as a lecturer,
classic and eloquent style to his vast erudition.
