An interesting fact is disclosed in this
connection, as having some bearing on
the controversy between President
Bowman and the homeopaths in regard
to college work at Iowa City. The ex-
animation for both allopaths and
homeopaths, by the state board of
medical examiners, is identical in the
three branches OF the science which
are in controversy at the university.
The questions are identical In all
branches except in the two where it is
proposed that separate instructors
for the two schools shall have author
ity.
The examination papers for the sub
jects of anatomy, physiology, surgery,
etc, are sometimes made out by an
allopath member Of the board and
some times by a homeopath member;
and there never has been any question
raised as to the perfect propriety of
this consolidation Of the examination
and giving them all the identical ex-
am bition.

their annual meetings. John T. Drug,
Of Hamilton county, is to be the prin-
cipal speaker Of the day.
