ciate his aspirations, and returns to his
course of duty with broader and more en-
lightened views, it may be-or at least
cheered by the sympathy of those en-
gagged in the same pursuit in which he is
engaged. AS the long continued gentle
exercise of any one of the senses, like that
of watching the graceful moving OF a field
Of grain, or listening to the murmur of
streams, produces sleep, so does the un-
disturbed routine of professional duties,
induce intellectual somnolence in him who
plods his daily round unthoughtful of all,
besides the few familiar faces, objects
and scenes which pass monotonously be-

or even similar view with himself, upon
subjects which they have separately stud
led, to awaken him from his aimless day
dreams.

CASE OF LEPROST.
DR.. Stone, of st. Paul. had been placed
on the programme for an essay on clinics,
but he asked an extension of time, as he
had not prepared the paper. He, IN this
connection, announced that he had an in
teresting class in clinics at the College hos
pital where he had a number of cases to
operate upon, one of which was a case
of leprosy, and requested that an ad-
journment to the hospital be had in the
morning in order that the society might
witness the operations. The proposition
met with a decided opposition on the
ground that"it would interfere with the
transaction of the vast amount of bust
ness which had been placed upon the
regular programme and which must
necessarily consume all the time of the
| convention.
DR.. Stone, however, extended a cordial
invitation to all the members who were
DESTROYS of witnessing the operations to
| accompany him to the hospital this morn
ing. He explained that the case of lep-
70 sy had excited the attention of the
scientists OF the country.
