fessional eminence through strictly legitimate
means, and fully deserves the enviable repu.
tation which he enjoys. A thorough and

works upon these subjects have been vel
coined as valuable additions to medical litera-
ture, and placed among the regular textbooks
OF many medical schools. Acknowledgment
OF the services which he has performed for

lions OF degrees from two of the first medical
institutions OF the land, and by the translation
OF several of his works into German. Spanish
and other foreign languages The Increasing
