6.—MEDICINE.
Professor Dunglison.—The subjects taught in this school
are Physiology, Pathology, Therapeutics, Obstetrics and Medical
Jurisprudence. The latter forms a distinct class, and
comprehends other students in addition to those of Medicine.
In this school, in common with those of Natural Philosophy and
Chemistry, the examinations of the class are generally postponed
until after the lecture, but with this difference in the school of
Medicine, that the examination is of the last lecture but one;
so that with the lecture of that day and the recapitulation of
the preceding lecture, the prominent topics are presented three
times to the student, or what is the same thing, the substance
of three lectures is presented to him in one day. Dunglison's
Human Physiology is the text-book on that subject; in Pathology
and the practice of Medicine, Eberle, Good, or Gregory
is recommended; in Obstetrics, Burns or Dewees or
Gooch; and in Medical Jurisprudence, Beck or Ryan, and
the Professor's Syllabus.
