\ &NING STAR. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Lectu or Pror. Warixe.—The large amphitheatre of the Washington Infirmary was well filled last night the occasion being the delivery of the introductory lectare of the course to the eee bas National Medical College by Dr. J. J. Waring. In opening, the lecturer im upon the class the fact that they live in an Hippocra- tean age, and belong to an Hip) an school, and warned them to fortify themselves against the dangers and allurements of blind ulation, that rife source of all the mis- chiefs and errors recorded on the pages of his- . Noticing the various medical errors of the past and t, which multiply apen us ad infinitum, run their brief career, anid are supplanted by new ones, the Professor cailed attention tothat revolution in medicine brought about by Hippocretes so early as 500 years B.C Medicine, two thousand years ago, made more pi im the lifetime of three indi- viduals, than it did from that time forward to the middle of the last century. and medicine stood upon a sounder basis two thousand years ago than it did one hundred years ago or at any period between those dates. . ‘3 the earliest ages, men. with-.ut exception, regarded disease as inflicted by those higher powers which they worshipped, and their only mneans of cure was to appease Divine wrath Heuce the temples of worsbip naturally be came the resort of the sick, aud the priests the physicians who attended to their cure — The Greeks were the first and only nation in whose temples the true end and of medicine was not entirely disregarded, and though their priests sought alike to deceive the people with oracles, yet they found them- selves constrained, in the growing intelligence of this remarkable people, to observe with at- tention the operations of nature. In doing so they premio’ | largely by the custom which then prevailed fur grateful devotees to haug up in the temples votive tablets describing the symptoms of their diseases and their modes of cure In process of time the two temples of Cos and Guidos became almost the sole resort of the sick, an exclusive seat of medical knowl- edge, and in the time of Hippocrates these temples were literally cove: with votive tablets, the uated record of observations made through a long series of years. In its infancy, Greek philosophy. regarded medicine as one of its legitimate subjects of study, and in course of time the philosophers boldly re- nounced the practice and teaching of medi- cine under the veil uf mystery, and fotted the priests to follow their example The lecturer traced the rise and progress of the Hippocratean school Hi, rates was 00 individual, but a series of indivicuals, aliis! in a strict line of descent, who, transmitting their knowledge from father to son, distin- ‘ished themselves by their courage and abil- ity. Of these Hippocrates the greatest was Fd pocrates IL, grandson of Hippocrates [ . atk is tohim that Galen thinks is due the honor of having founded that school of prin- ciples which has alwzys been known as the Hi ratean. As physiologist, D gratin dee practitioner, he far exceeded these who had preeeded him in boldness of thought, independence, and originality. In his time blind speculation snd subtile reasoning had taken the place of superstition in the schools of philosophy. Contrary to the spirit of his age, Hippocrates devoted himself to the obser- vation of facts ia nature, ani troubled bim- self very little about developing theories and bypothesea or in making a vain display of sophisms Unacquainted with the Bacouian theory of Induction through the natural ori- ginality of his mind and his sound common sense and prudence, he was guided by it, and only because guided by it, was he enabled t» give such an impetus to medicine and throw +o much actual light upon the mysteries of the art as to insure for him, through all time, the uame of “‘ Father of Medicine.’’ He was the first physician to trust much to nature, not from ignurance, but from sound reasoning He exercised a wise discretion in the use of remedies, expecting benefit from the asiistance of nature. He is, therefore, the author of what is called the ‘ Expectant plan of Treatment’ This method, lost sight of after his death, was never revived till our day, and is now rapidly superceding the old plan of treatment. A neglect of this Hippo- eratean dvetrine, occasioned the excessive use of violent remedies during the last centu- ry, and, in consequence a reuction in thi re-action which, im Germany, gave origin to Hahnemann and his Muaepathic system, a salutary tendency, it is true, but carried to an absurd extreme by the empty speculations of this German dreamer. The lecturer proceeded to traca the history of medicine down to our ewn times; of its falling, after the Hippocratean age, again into the hands of speculators and theorists; of its transfer, with Greek learniog, to Kome; of the mutilated conditiouin which medical art inte the hands of the Arabians, who contributed nothing to its advance, and jast as the Romans left it the Crusaders restored it to Europe The different medical achools prevailing at different periods were ed im review—the Dogmatic, Ewpiric, Methodic, Pneumatic, Mechanic, Chemical. and Dy- namic. What monuments have they left be- hind to mark their existence ? what contribu- tions have they made to seience? Not one Fortunately for us, a little band of investi- gators cootinued to search for facts throagh this dreary period of idle dreaming, and a taste for the positive slowly grew up and took the place of # love for the speculative; and thie great nineteenth century is once again Hippocratean in its method of search for the hidden traths in nature The lecturer closed by urging upon the stu- dents to take as their motto observation of uatare, the only source of unrevealed truth; to believe nothing but proven facts; to avuid specatation ; to wed themselves to no system of belief, and finally to be perfect sceptics in science, as perfect believers in religion. Prof. Waring bas a good delivery and many advantages as alecturer He was warmly con- xratulated at the close of the lecture by several ewinent members of the faculty present.

Business generally in our city at this time presents -quite an encouraging appearance, especially along the canal and river wharves and Water street. We regret to learn that the venerable Mrs. Hyde, widow of our Iste fellow citizen, Mr. Anthony Hyde, and mother of Mr. A. Hyde, happenei a few days ago to quite a serious and painful accident. While descending a flight of stairs her feet slipped, and she fell against the steps with such foree as to fracture one of her thigh bones She is under the ekil- ful treatment of Dr. J. Riley, who entertains hopes that in a short while the injured limb will be again restored to soundness One of the most interesting and extensive revivals of religion which has cccurred in our city for many years, is now in progregs at the West Georgotown Methodist church, under the pastoral charge of the Rev Mr. Gotwalt, Ser vices are had nightly, and the edifice is literally crowded with unusually attentive congrega- tions; and be it said of the dwellers in that portion of our city, we have never sven such good order asa general thing about a house of worship during a religious ‘itement Quite an affecting scene occurred at the Methodist Sabbath school on last Sunday morn- ing. Dr Skinner, of your city, visited the school, attended by 2 number of his deaf, dumb and blind pupils. who gave a most inter- esting and affecting exhibition of the progress which they have made under the instruction of the Doctor. At the close of the exercises, the scholars attached to the school contributed quite liberally towards the relief of the afflict- ed little ones, and promised their superintend- eot, Mr. Edes, to do still better on next Sub- bath. Some of the b’hoys who attended the Know Nothing meeting near Ball's Cross Roads yos- terday showed their belligerent propensities, not only while on the ground, but while on their return home. When near the aqueduct acanal boat was passing slong at which they opened a regular battery of stones, one of whieh struck a female upon the forehead, in- flicting a severe wound.
