Dearly as she may love delusion fondly as she may hug her idols und pertinaciou:-ly as the may cling to preconceived opinions, this stale of things cannot endure. The triumphal march ot mind, augurs a more propitious future. Enlightened and educated society will rise in her might. The beacon fires already kindled at Oxford t Bloomington at Cnwfordsville, are1 even now pouring in incir linod o ligut and knowledge upon this widespread valley.

Lyc n Iloosterdom taking j public of letters. es Hoou erdom, the very echo of derision, tauntingly bestowed upon her, has but to carry out the scheme she lias so magnificently projected to become all that is estimable in hum 111 attainment. Her educational convention, her scientific and literary associations, w ith the spirit of inquisition and energy which is stirring her men of letters and legislators, portioned for her an inimitable destiny. What, I ask. in the entire circle of sublunary concerns, that enlightened, educated mind, coupled with industry and zeal cannot accomplish? What, indeed, have not education and zeal already accomplished? ilave they not, when, and wheresoever united rescued man from ignorance and profligacy from degradation and barb.irism, and exalted him to civilizition and virtue? And will not these causes he cqnallv operative in Indiana in the White-Water Valley ? They will: and the lime is not distant when the epithet Hoosicr will be no longer a reproach when it will not be used to convey an idea of every thing vile and contemptible, ferocious and miserable. But on the contrary, will be associated with names and achievements f which nations ay, civilized man shall be proud of. Hence the imperative necess-tv fur immp. diate action on the part of nlnsirians. ! there ought of more sacred imno'rtanre rt ihn family of man than the theme we advocate? In the grandeur and sacredness of its objects, tut: iiiigiuiness 01 us power and the magnitude of its effects." Education is said, hi distinguished teacher and philanthropist, "to stand unrivaled and alone." Of all this vast and magnificent theme, that lmnl. ,5,:..l. 1 r 11 . . . . . .. u.oiiv.11 uiv.u ins laucn 10 our 101 to discuss. is 01 transcendental importance to the happitiiioa .1 , 11 f.

Without health enervated man could not carry on this stupendous enterprise, which we have seen has transformed him from the most vile and ferocious, to the most exalted and noble of created beincs. Shall we not, then. unite our best efforts in the formation of a society for the promotion this most sac red cause, and pledge ourselves to rally around the standard we are about to erect, nor abandon our ground until ii lo firmly planted in a soil unpolluted bv the envmie 01 science. C have assumed the position that our nricrnf -i ; T I 1 r . . , . ... voiii.iuwii mm iDjdii 5iuiy aie essentially bad. Do you ask for proof of these facts? I answer, they are self-evident that cur defoimity stands cut in such bold relief as to meet lhe gizo of mere casual observers; and yet we scarcely blush ourselves at these hideous proportions in our professional character. Who does not know that manv young men are placed, or rather I should'say, betake themselves, to lhe study of medicine as it is called, who never learn to know the import, even, of the word study; and who remain forever ignorant of the common structure and acceptation, to say nothing of the spirit and etymology of cur mother tongue. I ask, is it possible for suTh individuals to make any progress in the acquisition of scientific Anorclc(re? It will not be contended ihev can. Vet, the fact exists, and not as an insulated fact. Aluch too large a proportion of those who constitute the faulty 0 medicine in lhi country are of this caste. Is it surprising, then, that so much error and imbecility find t.icirway into our ranks? It would indeed be surprising were it otherwise. Hut what circumstances determine the length of this period which is to qualify the young aspirant lor the "blushing. honor, that await him?" and how does he dispose cf his time? No circumstance influences the duration cf this period more, perhaps, than the amount of pecuniary means the student himself m,yhnpinformed, holds a dominant influence and, it no unfrequently happens that these mean are very limited, in consequence of whjt, ,he period 13 contracted, and very often, as h happened within my own observation, brought down to a comparatively short space of time, lhe period, thus limited, we mar suppose well employed that everv hour is" carefully appropriated, and that scarcely a moment of

For the reasons al ready assigned, it is entirely useless to refer h ancient systems. Modern monographs are obnoxious lothe same objections. As his own experience, together with that of his preceptors, is ol more direct and practical bearing than that recorded in hooks, and as materia mcdica is of infinitely more impor tance than pathology Anatomy and l'hysijology el tv indies into comparative insignm cance.

AJtk.j lo lhu VJ ccrlifitate of lhe prcctor, with the aid of a few influential friends, constitutes the passport to popular patronage. Thus equipped, the Tyro sallies forth, the harbinger of life or death, as chance may direct. Such, gentlemen, is a common mode of making Doctors in the West. That there are exceptions, I am prepared to admit but the exceptions are too few, and so long ns they remain exceptions, littlo can be dene in lhe work of regeneration so imperiously called for by the exigencies of the times. The love of gain and the lust of power are passions deeply planted in the human bosom. And so long as ii is the interest of a majority of lhe profession to level all distinction between the empjrick and the man of science, it will be easy for the designing to propitiate the unlettered multitude, "and convert their own illiteracy into a stepping stone lo preferment." Will it not always be the interest of this majority so long as the avenues aud facilities hitherto afforded are kept open and remain? It will and we shall continue to emit, annually, hordes of vampires, to feed and fatten upon the life-blood and happiness of an unsuspecting community. Thus we have attempted to show that from defective and perverted education a puerile and degenerate faculty springs up and occupies the high places in public confidence. 1 view this as being an eill of mightier magnitude than any we have hitherto considered. Who that has a spark of generosity or philanthropy in his composition, can contemplate it it.uioui a im ui 01 Horror and indignation? It leads 10 the practice of many moral frauds and petty arts altogether incompatible with the diguity and grandeur of a liberal profession It causes to be engendered and called forth from the heart of the domestic circle, the fiend-like passions of hatred and malevolence. It poisons the dail which malice is preparing lo hurl at her victim. What, indeed, will nol a deprave J heart, slung by icmorse and wounded self esteem, stoon lo do? The magnitude of its malevolence is mea sured only by lhe extent of its power. From the intrinsic nature of cur vocation its ministers are lcdinlo lhe very bosom of the f imily circle and made familiar with all the springs of moral action wich centre there, and for what? To rescue the idol perhaps of that circle fiem premature death. How heartless then must be that monster, who could sit down in lus little sanctuary, mid cool I v cast about lor the means of securing the confidence of mis uuie group, and perpetuating his domin ion over their credulity, by practicing "arts of imposture instead of curtv' Yet are we sure thissketch but faintly drawn is not an inperfect portraiture cf a large profession of our craft?

I contend it is not and adhere to the position already advanced, viz: that we arc in a Dathalopical state, from Slaving fed upon imperfect and tamiiu aiinicnt, innl our assimilating or gans aie impared and that we elaborate en ormities and anomalous results. I rom this state of facts wc proceed to exquire what the therapeutic indications are & how they shall be fultilled. It is clear that one very prominent indication is the substitution of a more suitable aliment, and restriction from such articles as are known to be of pernicious tendency. The proper enquiry is, of what shall this regimen consist, nnd what is pernicious? I will answer this mterrogetory by a quotation from a deservedly popular work on medical education. "y7,rfcji an I pnparclory education ofmlnis.', various occupations in society,eqinres greater talenl adkn0Wscarcely oncn ictigc man tlie medical profession. This is especially true in the United States, where almost every practitioner must be at the sametime, physician, surgeon and apothecary. Obvious as this proposition is to many, its truth, unfortunately, is not generally perceivcd by U iosc who are about to dedicate their sons to the profession; m other words, by the persons, who, above all others. should feel and atkiivv.lcd-re its rea.it v. lfonro if rit. w .

that the ranks .f ll.e profusion are filled up with rcciuits, deficient either in abilities er acquirements too often indeed in beth, who thus doom it to a mediocrity incompatible with both its nature and objects. Other causes conlribuie lo its degradation; but this, I am peisuaded, is one of the most frequent, nnd one of the most difficult to obviate. Still much might be done if those who have the power, would open their eyes to the evil, nnd exert themselves in ils suppression.

l ew of those who arc put to the study of medicine, can be aware of the magnitude of the undertaking, or of the sufficiey of their capacity and preparation, for the ob ions reason that they are young and inexnerienced. There are, however, two classes of persons, wiioiiiigni ueexpe.c'cd to judge more correct ly, anu nave much in their power. These arc parents nnd physicians, both of whom rather than their sons, should feel responsible lo society on this subject: a:id to them 1 beg ie.nu respecwwiy 10 address myself. In the selection of boys for the study of meuK.Hie many circumstances, entirely dis-luiiiiciii-u Mini tneir nines?, too olicn exert a dominant influence, when their sway should be kept subordinate or even regarded as entirely inadmissible. A neighboring physician wants a student to reside in hisoffice; or one son of a family is tho't toe weakly to 1 bcr on the farm cr the workshop, he is indolent and averse to bodily exertion; or addicted to study, but too stupid for me oar, or 100 immoral lor the pulpit; the pa1 cms imi 10 nave one gentleman in the family, nnd a doctor it a gcnthmuiu These nnd many other extrai.eous considerations, not un frequently decide the choice and swell the members, while they impair the character of toe proiession. "It is not sufficient ti.at boys selected for me siucy 01 medicine, should have good con stitutions; they ought equally to be endowed with vigorous and inquiring minds. Without these, whatever may be the appearances r .1 . . . . . 01 success, mey must at least make incompetent physicians. It is especially and indispensably necessary, that they possess, in a high degree the faculties of observation and iudgmem, wiiuoui wnicn mey can neither com prehend the principles of the science, nor an ply them correctly in the treatment of diseas es. Aolwithstandir.K this obvious fact, hun drcds are put to the study of medicine, whose utmost grasp of intellect never compasses the rudiments of the profession.

The imcompelcat divine, at most but occu pies the place of an able teacher, and the superficial lawyer, is cither driven from the bar, I a I . oj me exposure ot nis errors, or they are rendered harmless by the skill of competent asso ciates. But the physician who has passe. through tins forms of a professional education, without the capacity to improve by his oppor (unities, is presumed by the people to be qualified for every emergency, and sometimes even preferred to the ablest practitioners" After enumerating some of the elmenlary branches, our author proceeded to the following enquiry 5 "Is the education which our common schools confer, a sufficient preparation for the s'.udy of medicine? It certainly is not. To a familiar acquaintance with lhe branches which have been enumerated, the intended student of mrdii ine, should ndd a competent knowedge of the elements of physical geography, general history, lhe art of composition, algebra, geometry and mechanics. We cannot explain the phenomenon of living bodies, by the principle s of natural philosophy, but at the same time nre unable 10 comprenend them without the aid of those principles. The functions of seeing, ucuniig, locomotion, respiration, and the cir cuiauon 01 me blood, can no more be understood without an acnuaintanm with tl.nl .vc of natural philosophy, than the movements of me atmosphere or the heavenly bodies, but their agency in the two cases is widely different. In the movements of lhe universe we behold only the influence of these principles, but in the functions of organized beings they are subordinate to a vital power, the laws of which constitute the science of life or physiology. Thus organized bodies present us with a case, in which the general laws of matter arc not repeated, but subjected to mo.Iitii.iuoil. -imonT I I lf trnrL. l . meet with no others which Present snrh A II as.cmuiage ot agencies: so diversified )ct co-operative-so admirably balanced so narmoneous though complex and aPDarentlv involved so productive of striking and beautwin loruis. i nc numan svstem is, indeed, the great mystery of creation.

There may be, and doubtless there arc olhcrcvils belonging to the profession than those we have indicated, yet there cun be none of greater magnitude, none that have their origin inn source more difficult to remove, and none which exert a wider or more diffused influence over the happiness of society, than this incompetency resulting from defective education aud mcnti.l disiplinc. Could physicians awaken to a just sense of this fact, and unite their efforts in the correction of the one great error, much rclormatiou would speedily foi low.
