culty of my alma mater (excepting Prof. Caldwell) refused
to investigate the subject, even when invited by their Board of
Trustees. The Boston Academy of Arts and Sciences, embracing the
men at the head of the medical profession, pretended to take up
the subject, but in a few hours dropped it, with polite
compliments to myself, in 1842. The American Medical
Association, in 1878, refused to entertain the subject because I
could not coincide with them in my sentiments, and accept their
code of bigotry. There was no formal action of the Association,
but my friend, Prof. Gross, then recognized as the Nestor of the
profession, and holding the highest position of authority,
informed me semi-officially, very courteously, that none of my
discoveries could ever be brought to the notice of the
Association, because I did not accept their code. Thus (without
mentioning other instances), I have stood before the public with
a _demonstrable_ science, challenging investigation by critical
opponents, who have so uniformly evaded or shrunk from the test
that I have ceased to care for their opinions, while I still
entertain as profound a respect as ever for the investigations
of the candid and manly, among whom I never fail to find
friendship and cordiality.

Looking back forty-five years, I remember with extreme pleasure
the friendly co-operation of ROWAN and CALDWELL. The American
medical profession never had a more dignified, imposing, and
high-toned representative than Prof. Caldwell. Nor was the legal
profession anywhere ever adorned by a more commanding and
gracious representative than the unsurpassed advocate, ROWAN,
who was widely known as the "OLD MONARCH." The nobility of such
men was shown in their noble bearing toward a dawning science,
In which they saw the grandeur of the future.

BUSINESS DEPARTMENT.

COLLEGE OF THERAPEUTICS.

Next Session Begins November 1, 1887.

This institution is the germ of what will be an immense revolution in
education hereafter, when the knowledge now given to small classes
will hold a conspicuous place in every college, and will be presented
in every high school.

The mountain mass of inertia, which opposes, passively, all
fundamental changes, cannot now resist scientific demonstration as it
has in the past. The instruction in the College of Therapeutics, is
thorough
