Sefior:
Con esta misma fecha dirijo a
los medicos de la isla la siguien-

.Piensa esta Presidencia que el gre
milo medico de Puerto Rico que ha con-
tado cuenta en- su seno con espiritus
distinguidos por su capacidad y su sa-
bidurfa, debe tomar alguna partc en-
nuestra Exposicien en- San Luis. A

poderosas razones de patriotismo Pc
70 desde otro punto de vista es acerta-
do pensar que quizas sea la clase me-
dica la mas sefialada entire nuestras
classes intelectuales para tener en- San
Luis una representation propia y dig
ma. La Exposition es una excepcio-
nal expression de progreso y civiliza-
cion; y a la cabeza de La civilization y
el progreso marchan las ciencias me-
dicas, hbrando gloriosas batallas con-
ira la ignorancia y la muerte."
"Yo me permito insinuar a Vd. Ia
idea de enviar nuestra Exposition
alg1n trabajo cientifco original, fruto
de sus observaciones y experiences en-
el estudio de las Intermediates pecu-
liares de nuestro medic; 6 alglin ira
