THE

THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT OF GRANT UNIVERSITY. CHATTANOOGA MEDICAL COLLEGE held its third annual commencement at the Opera House, in Chattanooga, March 15th ult. A most excellent class of thirty-three members received their diplomas from the hands of H. S. Chamberlin, Esq., President of the Board of Trustees.

Dr. E. A. Cobleigh, Dean of the Medical Faculty, was master of ceremonies, whose spicy and often witty introductions and giving of prizes were exceedingly au fait. Dr. Spence, President of the University, opened with prayer, when Professor N. C. Steele presented a pertinent paper containing some well-put points. Dr. Batty, of Rome, Ga., who was to have given the main address, was detained by sickness, and Bishop Joyce, University Chancellor, was drafted to fill his place, which was admirably done. Mr. W. M. Willingham, of Georgia, delivered

the valedictory, a thing of good points and rather racy puttings, with an unusually happy close, gaining deserved applause.

Three prizes for superiority were won, first by Wm. Fox, Tennessee; second by Jno. B. Lee, Alabama; third by E. A. H. Appleton, Alabama. F. S. Young, Mississippi, and B. C. Powell, Georgia, were called out and publically commended as standing very near the prize-winners.

THE WORLD'S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION.-Send fifty cents to Bond & Co., 576 Rookery, Chicago, and you will receive, post paid, a four hundred page advance Guide to the Exposition, with elegant engravings of the grounds and buildings, portraits of its leading spirits, and a map of the city of Chicago; all of the rules governing the Exposition and exhibitors, and all information which can be given out in advance of its opening. Also, other engravings and printed information will be sent you as published. It will be a very valuable book, and every person should secure a copy.

THE COSMOPOLITAN FOR APRIL.-With the April number, the Cosmopolitan completes its twelfth volume in a manner worthy the wide and growing popularity of this magazine. The Cosmopolitan is the most superbly illustrated of the monthlies, and the pictorial embellishment of the April number is rather above the

average.

The subscription price is only three dollars per annum; single copies twenty-five cents. Get the April number at least, and I am sure you will want to continue taking it, at least so long as it is kept up to its present standard of excellence. It is unquestionably the most attractive literary magazine of the age.

THE COMMITTEE appointed at the last meeting of the American Medical Association to consider the best means for promoting the prosperity of the sections of the Association will hold a meeting in the Hotel Cadillac, Detroit, Mich., June 6, at 3 P.M.' Members of the committee are requested to notify the Chairman of their intention to be present at the meeting.

The committee would esteem it a favor if each member of the

Association would communicate, in writing, his or her views concerning the best measures for promoting the development of the sections. Such communications may be sent to John S. Marshall, M.D., Chairman, 9 Jackson Street, Chicago.

THE National Medical Review is the name of a new medical journal, of which No. 1 of Vol. I. has just made its appearance. It is edited and published by Charles H. Stowell, M.D., formerly professor of histology at the University of Michigan, founder and for several years editor of the Microscope, and now practicing medicine in Washington, D. C. The new journal makes a good appearance, its title-page being especially attractive. "May it live long and prosper."

"EMINENT AMERICAN PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS' is the title of a work now "on the stocks" to be completed near the close of the present year. It will be sold by subscription only. Of the first edition it is intended to issue' between five and ten thousand copies, the exact number depending upon the list of bona-fide subscribers obtained while the book is in preparation. Unquestionably the latter number above mentioned should be readily obtained. Any information will be readily and gladly furnished by R. French Stone, 16 West Ohio Street, Indianapolis, Ind.

MALTED MILK.-We are informed that many physicians are using Malted Milk themselves, as it makes a highly-nutritious drink. It can be kept always on hand for cases of emergency, such as night calls or long drives. It is just the diet to use in typhoid, la grippe, and all wasting diseases. A sample will be sent to any physician for trial on application to Malted Milk Company, Racine, Wis.

FOR the past year or two I have been using Peacock's Bromides with good success, and from my experience find it the most satisfactory of any of that class of preparations now on the market.-A. Conway, M.D., La Monte, Mo.

THE forty-third annual session of the Medical Association of Georgia will meet in Columbus, Ga., April 20, 21, and 22. The officers are: President, G. W. Mulligan, M.D., of Washington, Ga.; Vice-Presidents, James M. Hull, M.D., of Augusta, and Mark H. O'Daniel, M.D., of Macon; Treasurer, E. C. Goodrich, M.D., of Augusta; Secretary, Dan H. Howell, M.D., of Atlanta, Ga.

L. D. MCINTOSH, M.D., D.D.S.-It is with great regret that we report the death of the above-named estimable gentleman, which occurred very suddenly on Tuesday, March 1st, at De Funiak Springs, Fla., where he had gone to lecture before the Florida Chautauqua on microscopy and kindred subjects. He was Vice-President of the McIntosh Battery and Optical Company. To his relatives and many friends we extend our sincere sympathy.

THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF MEDICINE. Designed for the Use of Practitioners and Students of Medicine. By WILLIAM OSLER, M.D., Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, London; Professor of Medicine in the Johns Hopkins University and Physician-in-Chief to the Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore; formerly Professor of the Institutes of Medicine, McGill University, Montreal; and Professor of Clinical Medicine in the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. Sold only by subscription. Price, cloth, $5.50; sheep, $6.50; half morocco, $7. D. Appleton & Co., Publishers, 1-5 Bond Street, New York. A truly magnificent book, modest in its title and without a preface, for the appropriate note in which he tenders his thanks to valuable assistance he has received from Drs. H. A. Lafleur, W. S. Thayer, D. Meredith Reese, H. M. Thomas, L. P. Powell, and Miss B. O. Humpton, cannot be so called; even an introductory chapter or section is discarded, the author commencing with Section I., "Specific Infectious Diseases," typhoid fever being the first considered. Section II. is devoted to "Constitutional Diseases;" Section III., "Diseases of the Digestive System;" Section IV., "Diseases of the Respiratory System;"

Section V., "Diseases of the Circulatory System;" Section VI., Diseases of the Blood and Ductless Glands;" Section VII., Diseases of the Kidneys;" Section VIII., "Diseases of the Nervous System;" Section IX., Diseases of the Muscles;" Section X., "The Intoxications; Sun-stroke; Obesity;" Section XI., "Diseases Due to Animal Parasites."

No less than nineteen charts, representing the character of temperature, the pulse, blood, etc., in some of the more important diseases, are faithfully and instructively delineated; and nine figures representing various morbid and other conditions of the nervous system.

While I have not had the time or opportunity to read over thoroughly and completely the entire work, I feel fully justified, from a somewhat careful examination of a number of the most important sections, in most heartily commending it as a most excellent book for both practitioner and student; and can say sincerely that any one following its judicious and correct teaching will not be disappointed.

The author, Dr. William Osler, is too well and widely known. as teacher, clinician, writer, and careful and correct observer to require any introduction to the medical men on this or the other. side of the Atlantic. While his connection with the leading hospitals of either America or Europe has given him an international reputation, it has endowed him as well with a particular fitness for the responsible task of preparing a text-book on the principles and practice of medicine which is really and truly an ideal work.

A fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of London, a most enviable title indeed, drafted from the chair of Institutes of Medicine and Clinical Medicine in McGill University, Montreal, to the chair of Clinical Medicine in the University of Pennsylvania, and from the latter to the chair of Medicine in the Johns Hopkins University and the position of physician-inchief to the Johns Hopkins Hospital at Baltimore, are historical events in his life to commend him to the most intelligent and critical reader; to say nothing of the years of laborious research and most careful investigation that have ever marked his career. The letter-press, binding, paper, etc., are just such as one may always confidently expect from D. Appleton & Co.
