Number of Graduates from 1768 to 1810.


It is impossible to present a complete list of the students attending lectures in the College and University prior to 1810. No catalogues are in existence to which to refer for information, and all that can be known of the progressive prosperity of the School is derived from the annual registration of the graduates. For a long time no regular minutes of the Faculty of Medicine appear to have been kept, and our source of knowledge of the affairs of the Medical Department is the record of the Board of Trustees. The system of rotation in the office of Dean was not calculated to secure the methodical transcription of the business operations of the Faculty, which is now desirable in determining points of historical interest, and, until the appointment of Dr. Horner as permanent Dean, perfect regularity in the preservation of all the minutiæ connected with attendance and graduation, was not introduced. The following summary may be regarded as correct with reference to the graduates within the period specified above; it was carefully prepared by Drs. Wood and Horner, and introduced into the sketch of the Medical Department published with the general list of graduates.1

It will be perceived that there is a deficiency from 1773 to 1780. This was the period of the political troubles, which occu- pied the attention of the country, and of the most stirring events of the Revolution.

The first Society established in Philadelphia originated with Dr. Morgan, and a number of other practitioners, including Dr. J. Kearsley, Jr., Gerardus Clarkson, James A. Bayard, Robert Harris, and George Glentworth. It was called the "Philadelphia Medical Society." To this Association reference must have been made by Dr. Rush in a letter to Dr. Morgan, in 1768, when he says:


APPENDIX.

APPENDIX.


" By means of Dr. Huck's and Dr. Franklin's friends, I have been introduced to Sir John Pringle, and have the honour of belong- ing to a Medical Society, which meets every Wednesday evening at his house. The plan of it is not unlike the Medical Society you have established in Philadelphia ; it consists of only eight or ten, who are all Sir John's particular friends." The Society in which Dr. Morgan and the gentlemen mentioned were interested, did not survive the Revolution, when another Association was formed, entitled the "American Medical Society." With respect to this we have met with the following notice :-


" The American Medical Society will meet at the College on Monday, Nov. 2d (1783), at 7 o'clock in the evening.


HENRY STUBER, Sec."


Four other Societies subsequently came into existence. The College of Physicians was organized in 1787, and was the third body of medical men associated for medical improvement .. Next came the Philadelphia Medical Society, the Academy of Medi- cine, and the Medical Lyceum, which latter, in 1816, was merged into the Medical Society.


The Philadelphia Medical Society was instituted in 1789, was first incorporated in 1792, and re-chartered in 1827. It was in- tended "for the purpose of mutual improvement in the science of medicine, and for the promoting of medical knowledge." It consisted of Junior and Honorary members; the first-mentioned pertaining to the class of students. The exercises consisted of papers on medical subjects, and debates upon them, in which all were permitted to participate. This Society, after a spirited career of sixty years, ceased an active existence in 1846. Be- sides Drs. Rush and Barton, two other Professors of the Univer- sity were elected to the office of President. Dr. Physick suc- ceeded Dr. Barton in 1815, and Dr. Chapman succeeded Dr. Physick in 1837. It was the fourth Medical Society organized in this city, and was evidently founded in imitation of the Edin- burgh Medical Society.

On Chronic Bronchitis,


Especially as Connected with Gout, Emphysema, and Diseases of the Heart. Being Clinical Lectures delivered at the Middlesex Hospital, by E. HEADLAM GREENHOW, M.D., Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, Consulting Physician to the Western General Dispensary, &c., &c.


One volume. Octavo. Price, $2.25.


The purpose of this volume is to demonstrate the frequently constitutional character of Chronic Bronchitis, and its intimate association with many other diseases, in the re- lation either of cause or of consequence.


In the earlier lectures the author has endeavored to show, from the results of a large analysis of cases, and also from the history of many individual cases, in how small a proportion of bronchitic patients the liability to suffer from Chronic Bronchitis can be traced exclusively to catarrh, and in how large a proportion it can be referred to ca- tarrh only in connection with one of three internal predisposing causes ; namely, long- standing mechanical irritation of the bronchial membrane; some form of Dyscrasia ; or previous illness of some other kind. The Gouty Dyscrasia is shown to be, of all others, perhaps the most fruitful source of Chronic Bronchitis. The fifth and sixth lecturcs deal with the subject of Pulmonary Emphysema ; showing from an analysis of cases, and also from detailed cases, that Emphysema is frequently hereditary; that it is fre- quently found in connection with the Gouty Dyscrasia; and, lastly, that it is not un- frequently developed, in these circumstances, previous to the existence of Chronic Bron- chitis. These facts, in the Author's opinion, prove the mainly constitutional character of Pulmonary Emphysema, and lead to the further conclusion that the degeneration of the tissue of the lungs which predisposes them to yield to mechanical causes of disten- sion, in coughing or otherwise, is often a result of the Gouty Dyscrasia. In the seventh and eighth lectures, the relations between Bronchitis and Diseases of the Heart are fully considered. Bronchitis is shown to be a frequent sequel to diseases of the left side of the heart ; whilst it is, on the other hand, itself a direct cause of disease of the right side of the heart.


The practical conclusion suggested by the work is that the first step towards the suc- cessful treatment of Chronic Bronchitis must be the discovery, and, in so far as may be possible, the removal, or alleviation, of the internal condition which, in so many cases, is the remote cause of the patient's ailment.

A Treatise on the Diseases of the Eye,


Illustrated by Ophthalmoscopic Plates done in Chromo-Lithography, and engravings on wood. By J. SOLBERG WELLS, Professor of Ophthalmology in King's College, London ; Ophthalmic Surgeon to King's College Hospital, and Assistant Surgeon to the Royal London Ophthalmic Hospital, &c., &c.


One volume, octavo, bevelled cloth. Price, $9.00.


The great reputation of the Author of this volume, and his long experience in the treatment of Diseases of the Eye, together with the unusual facilities possessed by him, as Professor of Ophthalmology, and as Surgeon to King's College, and the Royal Lon- don Ophthalmic Hospital, has enabled him to make it the most complete and compre- hensive work on the subject in the English Language.


It embodies all the most recent views in Ophthalmology, as well as the newest opera- tions upon the eye, fully illustrated. THE OPHTHALMOSCOPE AND ITS USE in the internal diseases of the eye, receives, also, the fullest consideration, and is illustrated by beautifully colored plates.

The first American edition of this work was out of print in little more than twelve months after publication. So rapid a sale may be accepted as an evidence of its appre- ciation by the profession of this country, and as a recognition of its claim to being a fair exposition of the Medical Science and Art of the day.


The present edition, besides being thoroughly revised by the Author, is edited with special reference to the wants of the American practitioner ; it contains many addi- tions to the Author's text, and THIRTY-SIX NEW articles, several of them on sub- jects now introduced for the first time in any text-book on the practice of medicine. The new matter thus added, by the American Editor, Meredith Clymer, M.D., being equal to over 500 pages of the London edition.
