Dr, Hibbard's Leetafe.

Last evening Br. Hibbatd lsctured to fait
audience in Congress Hall, on the skin and its
functions. The lecture was an admirable one,
and we venture to say that the next audience
will be large.
A description of the skin was given. Inc
outsider layer cuticle or scarf skin, much re
sembles thin layer of the dried white of an
egg. Underneath this cutisle are quantities OF
Elementary granules, which determine the
color of the skin. Certain conditions OF the
system, such as constipation. sluggish nVer,
Sc, will frequently increase the amount OF
these granules, depositng them 10 Irregular
patches on the face and neck, and producing
moth spots. Directions simply entaihng tne
strict observation of the rules of hygiene, VIII
remove these annoyances. Another anpoysnoe
of the same sort is the skin discoiorauoh
known as freckles. -,
The inside LAYER of the skin was not taken
up. The true skin is composed principaiiy OF
gelatin. When boiled the gelatin is d1ssoiVeo
and becomes glue; when tanned it is hardened
and becomes leather. They tan hides Win OAK
bark. Take the hint and tan your own wa net
soft, tender and irritable, aud thus preVens
sores and alterations upon your hanos ana
limbs. Situated in the skin are multltudes OIL
little pores with short, spinal tubes ternInase
ing in little sacs underneath. The functions OF
the respiratory follicles were described auu
upon. Diseases of the skin arising from para
sites were taken up and explained: Ine muc-
Gus membrane was then described. lbe sy
pathy between the mucous membrane anu Inc
skin was pointed out as the origin OF many ih-
purites in the latter. Directions were given
TO those who would enjoy clear, soft-tnted
complications
Want of space necesstates brief and hur-
ried sketch of the lecture, which was an excel
lent one. The subject was illustrated with
large number of diagrams, and all important
physiological truths were enforced in a most
impressive and skilful manner. The lecture
was interspersed with many amusing anec-
dotes which had the effect to please the audi
ence and to throw into prominent relief the
more weighty scientific truths and arguments.
Dr. Hebbard has proved himself capable
popular teacher, and his hearers felt amply
rccompensed for the time and money spent.
His clear and simple manner of treating all
his subjects captivates and holds the attention,
and his fine models, charts and drawings great
Iy elucidate his remarks. One of his most i'm
portant merits is his ability to hold his audi
ence by pleasantly. The indications are that
the course will be very popular, and extensive
ly patrOnized.
The next lecture of the course will be deliv-
cred tomorrow evening The subject is = he
Heart, Blood and Sentiments, their Diseases
and Passions" People will do we'll to secure
course tickets for these lectures.
