ADDRESS OF PROFESSOR KING.
Professor King said that the task of the grad
mates was fipisbeJ and he was there TO saw the
nartinw word. With his CONCENTRATIONS he well.
coined them into the profession. He then entered
into a dissection of the anatomy of n FAREWELL
There were two kinds of areweil-a natural and
an unnatural one. A natural farewell ennobles
and puriiies, and points us 10 the beautiful and
good He referred to the farevells of those allied
6y friendship As we'll as of those united by vice.
One WAS a physiological the other was a patho-
logical farewell The last words uttered are
never forgotten Webster's diving words .s still
live would always be remembered. The mothers
farewell would always be cherished.
He then alluded to farewell scenes among con-
yicts and to the loving farewell Of the great Ply
ecian on Calvary in illustration Of his theory.
The professors and graduates were now about to
part During their stay in the medical DEPART
mcnt they had listened to laoO lectures OF one

students had been pleasant, yet the bond must be
sundered. But could there he no annsthctic. Yes,

Of their calling Honesty was . rare virtue now
adays and even all physicians did not ALWAYS FOL
low the path of true rectitude, Simply to wear
the mantle Of q noble profession was not the badge
of true honesty. Totreat rich and poor alike were
demanded. II was mot honest 10 play on timd
fears or TO retain sole charge of a ease that the
nbvsician did NOT understani without, calling I'm
consuItors. To fritter away vaIua bic time in the
gayetes and friyolities of metropolitan city was
moi honest, 10 administer medicines that were
not essential was not honest.
The speaker rave an Amusing description of q
scene al sick bed. where learned medical terms
were used in order to mystify the case Lives
were often risked by practitioners. although even
iawyers gave their clients the benefit of 4 doubt.
He descTibed the sad and gloomy scenes OF a
death he'd resnifiny from ,SaInractice In the
solemn stilIness of that chamber conId he heard
