SCHOOL OF PHYSIOLOGY AND SURGERY.
Prof. Cabell.
I. In Physiology the lectures are illustrated by plates, and the students
are instructed in Histology as well as in Physiology proper. Much attention
is given throughout the course to the practical bearings of physiological and
histological facts on pathology, and their relations to the nature and treatment
of disease. Extra lectures are given, commencing about the middle
of December, at which the students are questioned on all that part of Physiology
which they have studied previously. It has been found that these
"review lectures" are very useful to the students as a preparation for the
final examinations.
II. In Surgery especial attention is given to the causation and pathology
of the various surgical affections, and the lectures are illustrated by
excellent paintings and by morbid specimens. The applications of splints
and apparatus for the different fractures and the details of minor surgery are
practically exhibited to the class.
