Exhibitleu.
DR.. +. @. Lemercier, lately from France delivered
the second OF the course Of lectures for which the
learned gentleman was announced BY the "Associar
ton for the Advancement Of Science and Art.n The
large hall OF Cooper Institute was filed to about
onefth OF Its capacity and this In to be regretted
for the learned lecturer demonstrated physical
truths which 1t would benefit many thousands 10
know. His English Is not Of the purest, but BY
means OF objective illustrations he succeeded very
well In making himself understood, and although
occasionally one or the other OF the audience sug-
gested to him this that word, he always managed
himself, and never devlated.
The learned gentleman began by recapltulating
and again exhibited those hldeous counterfets Of
man and beast which every student Of medicine is
showed the heart the vscera, the blood Circulation
the lung and how 1t worked while breathing the
diaphragm, and closed the Introduction by taking
apart snail, by while he explained the process Of
digestion, giving the audience to understand that It

the physical structure OF this worm was admirably
given. The Doctor told his audience how the silk

days. The lecturer then passed over to the
nervous system; that there are two distinct sys-
life ana breathing; the other the sensitive, which
has its centre in the cerebellum and which receives
the sensation from all parts q the body and winch
OF the human frame. Alter demonstrating this pro-
position by number OF apt illustrations the learned
gentleman turned to taste," and very happily illus
traied 1t by the divergent tastes OF master and cook

very instinct OF hts trade what Is good to dspel the
effects Of an III regulated life On the other hand he
referred to the saying Of the celebrated German
physician DR.. Hoelen, that the call OF cooks Is to
destroy health that Of physicians to repair 1t, but
that the cooks are more certain to succeed than
DOCTORS
Giving . full and vivid calculation Of the organs
for smelling, illustrated by models from dogs and
foxes the lecturer proceeded to the sense OF sight,
and with the enlarged representation Of the human
eye, which he produced he gave graphic and
pictural description Of that beautiful mechanism.
Adverting to the syncOpic or shOrtsighted eye, the
Doctor remarked that sh0rt-sighted men are gener-
those who are gifted with shOrt-sightedness may
consider as advantageous to them. The ear and its
mechanical construction were the last referred to- the
tympanum was shown and the whole method Of
hearing illustrated The next lecture will be to-
night and for Its subject the Doctor has selected the
sbrainn and Its influence upon the body.
