PRACTICE OF MEDICINE.
Professor Buckmaster.
The Theory and Practice of Medicine is taught in a systematic course of lectures,
which are supplemented by clinical teaching at the Dispensary. In the year
1896-'97 over three thousand patients were treated, thus affording ample material
for elementary teaching. The Monday clinic is devoted to the examination of
the patient. The Wednesday clinic is especially designed for the demonstration
of practical office methods of examination of the secretions. The Thursday
clinic is devoted to physical examination of the chest.
In the didactic lectures the author's syllabus is used as a guide for the essential
points to be considered in a careful study of the text-book. The student is earnestly
advised to use the syllabus and text-book before hearing the lecture, as
experience has shown this to be the most effective means of obtaining a knowledge
of the subject.
