the Lecture Committee are confident they

Bishop Warren having cancelled all lee

engagement of the Litta Concert Company,
the committee are happy to announce that
they have make arrangements to fill the
Bishops appointment by a temperance

Special trains will be run on the W. & L.

and has been known to the profession for
the last twenty-five years as popular lee
turer in medical colleges, and in the medi-

professorships in the course of study. Mr..
Albright's friends may feel assured that
he will have the benefit of the best medi-

profession, and will hope for his improve

That Case Of Small Pox.

The case of small pox reported last week
proves to have been chicken pox, modified
by scrofulous habit and vaccination,
which was just beginning to take effect.
Owing to the prevalence of small pox and
the great similarity of symptoms and ap-
pearance of many eruptive diseases in
their early stages, it was very naturally
concluded it was case of varioloid-a
modified form of small pox-but the pro-
gress of the disease soon revealed its true
character, and by promptly announcing it
the people have been saved needless
anxiety. The criticisms on the skill of
the doctor are entirely gratuitous, for the
similarity in appearance in the early stages,
the prevalence of small pox, and the modi-
flying conditions present, would be likely
to mislead physicians of experience in
these diseases. But lest il might be sup
posed thst We had been asked to make
these statements, we will say that we have
not seen the doctor or any of his friends,
and make them only to set the matter
right before the public.
