LECTURES. Prof. Mcdonald and DR..
Rice have delivered series of lectures
at Olympic Hall, during the week, on
Phrenology, Dietetics, Health, and kim
dred topics. The audiences have been
large and apparently we'll pleased with
the practical, common-sense arguments
advanced by the gentlemen in support
OF their views. The private lecture to
men, on Thursday evening was special
" entertaining and instructive. We
believe the gentlemen are doing good
work for their fellow man, in present
ing vital facts in the forcible manner
they have done, and we trust they will
receive the encouragement and support
their philanthropic efforts truly merit.
