Turn Out Many Doctors.

The four big medical colleges in
Gotham bring to this city nearly 1000
medical students every year. In con-
nection with these colleges are num-
ber of large hospitals, where not only
may the graduating students witness
clinical work and become practically
acquainted with injury and disease,
but the positions of internes are held
as prizes for those taking the highest
positions in the graduating class.
Bellevue Hospital and the various
eleemosYnary institutions on the East
River islands and Roosevelt Hospital
are relied upon for clinical material
for the undergraduate schools. Prob
ably the greatest factor in pushing
New York rapidly to the front as the
medical center of the United States
was the establishment here in 1882 of
two clinical schools for postgraduate
instruction. 1t was new movement
for the Western Hemisphere, and the
men who founded these institutions
had two objects in view. First, to at-
ford every opportunity for the higher
and more practical education of men
who had been graduated in the vari-
GUS medical colleges, and who, for
any reason, had not been able to OBJ
tain clinical experience, which they
needed to make them proficient in
practice; and, second, to afford such
facilities that physicians would no
longer have to go to the expense and
waste of time of tour of the medical
centers in Europe, but could find at
home in the Western metropolis every
advantage for better scientific work.
Naturally these postgraduate schools
have been successful. The New York
Polyclinic Medical School and Hospi-
tai have attracted to New York City
over $4,000 practitioners from all
parts of the world.-New York Adver-
tiser.

Development OF Various Diseases,

According to Investigations made
by the Clinical Society, London, the
period of incubation for diphtheria
DOCS not. as rule, exceed four days,
and is more often two, though it may
also extend to five, six or seven; the
infection may take place any time in
the course of the disease, and mild
cases may spread it. In the case of
typhoid fever, this may vary within
wide limits, twelve to fourteen days,
but not infrequently less, and, as the
disease is usually introduced into the
system by f01 and drink, it is not
carried from one person TO another,
but several may get it from the same
source, contaminated water and milk
being the usual causes. Epidemic in
fuenza, or grippe" has for its incu-
baton period q few hours to three or
four days, generally striking suddenly
and without warning, and patient
may carry infection throughout the
whole course of the disease. Mumps
have an incubation period OF fromone
to two weeks, and the chances of in
feetion diminish daily. In the case
of measles, the period is usually short,
beng counted from the date of the
eruption, which decides the disease.
German measles have e long incuba-
eion period, and the infectivity dimin-
ishes in day or two after the disap-
pearance of the ash.-Detroit Free
Press.
