Woodly, of the District of Columbia; J S Smith, of the District of Columbia ; 8. Loomis, of Connecticut. As they severally returned to their seats Were met with hearty cheers, and a few Jucky ones were the recipients of beautiful frem their fair friends. Prof N. Y: then proceeded to address the graduating class, in a manner eminently practical and su; jive. He reminded thet they were entering the profession at a period of unexampled pro- gress in medicine; that the age is past when medieal men relying only on observation, without the means ed tavetignting the nature and true origin of phenomena presented to them, indulged im the wildest speculation. The most abundant means are now afforded for the study of those laws of nature which are the foundations of all real medical educa- tion, through the advanced condition of clex- istry and of anatomy, aided by that wonder- ful instrument, the microscope. They had before them the acquired information of the whole — world ; the results of —— iB BDY qaarter coming at once to them proses the rte mec eers of the cc and thoroughly informed as to what {is known, they are prepsred to explore further and to add to the sum of medical knowledge. They were admonished that the edusation they bad received thus far was only elemer- tary, and it was for them, having been taught how to learn, to proceed to complete their own eduestion Atevery step they would find new and wondrous truths to investigate With all the knowledge acquired there is yet much un- learned. e are forexample scarcely on the threshold of knowledge of the nervous system, we are familiar with its phenomena and are acquiring facts in regard to its laws every day, but though the most important of all connect ed with the human machine, the supposed seat of the life-giving power, the controlling influence of the whole sconomy, we must con- fess our comparative ignorance. it is cheering, however, to be conscious that the knowledge gained already has been of vast service to our fellow men; an examina- tion of vital statistics will demonstrate | oe ive improvement—for example, in 1805 in every 7 admitted to the Paris hospitais died, now only 1 in 12, an increase of 71 per cent. in 51 years. In the 80 000 persons an nually passing through these hospitals thege ia w saving of 500 persons as compared w former years. Formerly. the time of treat- ment was an average of 39 days, now 24days. In some diseases 1 formerly died in every 56 cases, now only 1 in 294 he average of mor- tality has changed during the last 71 years from 1 in 20 dying to 1 in 40 in this day. In surgical practice more than 35 per cent. has been gained since the beginning of the present century The rage duration of life bas been increneed during the past 66 years 94 years. In obstetrical practice, 150 yearssince, 1 in 40 died, now net 1 in 250; from the last returns there appears to be a gsin of 25 per cent. of curein past 75 years, and the average time of treatment lessened more thancne-third. The discovery of ether and chlorofurm, and other medical improvements, has shorn disease of its terrors. Small pox and cholera were no longer fatal Marsh miasma had been stripped of itsdeadly power by the discovery of the alkaloid of cinchona. He ad them to let real merit be the ob- ject of tfeir ambition; to not rely for success wpon personal régard or the partiality of in- Bauential friends; to be careful in regard to their standing with their brother practition- ert; to let inevitable professional rivalries be honorable rivalry, and not a scramble for ad- Vantage; to act upon the cardinal rule (in their relations to professional brethren and the public) that every man has a right to ee- Ject for himself and family his own medical adviser ; to exercise the greatest pradence in their confidential relations to families; to ex- act the full price for services to those able to pay, and to reserve for the poor their gratui- tous services. E He next spoke to them ef the difficulties they must expect to encounter; they must not look for wealth, as with few exceptions, the members of the profession are poor; they were entering u @ life of servitude mot one hour of which they could call their own; they must expect ingratitude and te be supplanted by quacks and cha-latans. One of their severest trials would be to find the whole community indisposed te recognise the superior merits of regularly educated physicians and a philosophic practice based upon scientific acquirem ; and when Pes- pe mar abroad in ¢ nd, they must re main at their posts, even to the sacrifice of their lives. But there was another — to this glorious ieture: Theirs was a noble profession, and stady the most captivating of all pursuits; and there was to the Christian ph: no the added feeling of gratification which follows the honest discharge of daty . Dr Y., i ne a the rise of eorgetown College, which ixty-five years bas advanced from a modest emy to the i of a world renowned institution; al- jeding next to the fact that it was now not quite seven years since the medical depart- ment was organized, as a child of the parent institution, and the baptismal ceremony of which bad been performed within the walls of the same building where they were now met. During these years they had struggled, un- aided, egainst difficulties, embarrassments and opposition of foes, such as was only known and only to be appreciated by themselves. Their success, so far, stimulated them to renewed exertion to deserve confidence and prove wor thy of the trust reposed in them by their ven- erable alma mater. — Tas Wasaiscron (xzw) Fine Inscveasce Company —Phe stock books fur this company, recently chartered by Congress, were opened on the 9th inst., and by the close of business bours onthe day after, every dollar of the stock was taken by substantial parties here, we understand.
