    quainted, Chemistry, Botany, Anatomy, Practical Ana- tomy, Physiology, Pathology, Materia Medica, Clinical Medicine, Clinical Surgery, Practice of Midwifery. Remarks.—Practical Anatomy must be taught separately from General or Theoretical Anatomy : the former requires much more labour and assiduity than the latter, on the part both of preceptor and pupil. The Materia Medica embraces the Practical Chemistry of Medicine. Physiology embraces all the facts furnished by the other sciences, which tend to illustrate or explain the composition, structure, and functions of animals. The ascertained instruction, under its different correlative branches, which a consummate qualification for the degree of Doctor in Medicine requires, will, by comparison, enable us to judge of the Curriculum or course of study impera- tively prescribed by our University. The Curriculum enjoins :—1. Theory of Physic. 2. Diet- etics, Materia Medica, and Pharmacy. 3. Medical Juris- prudence and Police. 4. Chemistry and Chemical Pharmacy. 5. Surgery. 6. Practice of Physic. 7- Anatomy and Physiology. 8. General Pathology. 9- Theory and Prac- tice of Midwifery. 10. Clinical Medicine. 11. Clinical Surgery. 12. Botany. 13. Natural History. 14. Prac- tical Anatomy. The denominations of the classes are copied from the programme published by order of the Sen at us Academi- cus, at the commencement of each winter session, or annus medicus.

Class of Theory of Phrjsic, also called of Physiology and Institutes of Medicine, is intended to comprehend, and does, if properly conducted, comprehend all the established data which can contribute to the expla-
