STUDY OF MINERAL WATER
american Endoscment for the WorE
at University of Paris.

| Paris, November 20
The scientific study Of mineral waters will
from January next. for the first time enter into
the regular curriculum of the Paris Faculty Of
| Medicine. This is due to the IiberaHty Of an
American resident Of Paris the Duke OF Loubat.
| who has Just founded permanent professorship
| Of mineral waters for the University Of Paris
| to which institution ne has given the sum Of
| $4,000 in BTen per cent government bonds
to provide IN perpetuity annual revenue oS
$2,4OO for the salary OF the new chair. The GIT
has been accepted by the University Of Paris.
The Minister of Public Instruction upon tho
recommendation Of the donor, has appointed to
the post as the first incumbent DR.. Albert Robin
| member Of the Academy Of Medicine. and pro.
fessor at the Beaujon Hospital who has for tbs
last thirty years made a special study Of min
eral waters. DR.. Albert Robin viii treat the sub
ject cIinically at the Beau1on Hospital In Paris.
and a large number Of medical students as wen
as physicians in practice have already signi-
fed their intention Of following tho course Of
lectures upon the thsraDeutic use of watars
from the numerous sources In France and else.
where In Europe.
Highly Injurious and sometimes fatal results
have followed the promiscuous and unintslli.
gent Of mineral waters. which are some
times cumulative in effect. Never before n
Paris has there been a regular course Of study
eraI waters the necessity Of which was pointed
out by the international congress OF mineral
water therapeutics that assembled in Septembsr
last at Venice.
The Duke of Loubat, who IS a corresponding
member Of the French Academy Of Inscriptions
and Belles-lettres. has been congratulated by his
academic colleagues for his timely gift which
in scientific circles here Is regarded as OF great
practical value The Duke Of Loubat IS an
archeologist of the highest repute and has for
the last forty years shown a veritable passion
for the study Of pre-CoIumbian America, and
devotes his life to scientific research. He has
expended great sums in sending archaeological
expeditions to Mexico in the effort to accom-
plish for the extinct Aztec civilization what
Marietta Brugsch and AIaspero have done for
ancient Egypt.
An idea of the large scale OF the Duke Of
Loubat's intelligent hberality may be formed
from few recent instances, such as his annual
contribution to the French School OF Athens
fund for excavations in the island Of DeloS
amounting TO $4,000 yearly; his princely gifts
to Columbia University; his gift Of SIo,OOO TO
found the professorshp of AmeriCanism at the
University of Paris. where Professor Legal OK
the College of France has q course in each
academic year; his gift of $4,000 to the Uni
Yersty Of Berlin to found the professorship OF
Americanisn, thoroughly carried out there oy
DR.. Seller and now his educational work Is
crowned by this gift to found the professorshlp
for the study Of mineral waters G. L b
