The SOUTHERN MEDICAL AND SURGICAL jour.
NAL, edited by DR.. L. A. DuaAs and others, and pub
liahod in Augusta, Ga, ia still fiourisltng. Wo
haVo received tho July number, and find several
original papers in it Of considerable scientific and
practical merit. Tho first is on tho Treatment OF
Fructurcs OF the Fcmur by WM. J. HoLr, Md,
OF Montgomery, Ala. The second on Persistent
Eolampsia, by DR.. WM. p. HoIr, Macon, Ga Third,
Obligations OF the Public tho Medical Profession
by DIR. r. @. WooD, Of Atlanta, Ga. Fourth, A
Case OF Femoral AneuriHm treated by legation, by
DIR. DES. FonD, Of Augusta, Gn. Thoro il besides
much miscellaneous and editorial nlattor OF great
interest. Tho argument OF tho second articlo
named above is summed up thus 81. There aro
reciprocal obligations between tho public anu tho
members Of the medical profession. 2. Tho nlcd-
cal men are nobly discharging their duties, but
the people nre unmindful OF their obligations,
which requires them, both IA a matter of principal
aud of policy to support tho true mon of tho pro-
fession. 8. Medical men arc not paid. They are
little better than starvation as tho result of which
many good mon arc leaying tho profession. 4.
Medical men are benefaclors to tho public, for
which neither the Legislature nor tho masses Of
tho people have any just appreciation"
