Ciinique at the College OF Physicians and


Surgeons-Crosby street..


The usual weekly clinique, that Is held in this In
sttution throughout the year, took place yesterday,
and the lecture room was well attended by large
number OF medical students, most OF whom have
come on to this city from various parts OF he Union,
for the purpose Of attending the courses OF lectures
that are about be delivered by the various Fro
iessors OF this college during the approaching WIN


The establishment of cnque, which we believe
Professor Parker Is entitled TO the credit Of has
oeen most excellent thing Tor the College, and also
tle many patients that have been prescribed for and
amended gratuitously by the students. It Is held
every Monday between the hours of ten and twelve,
and 1t is curious sight to witness the stream of
nait, MAIN, blind, &c., patients that pour down
Crosby street They are admitted into the class
room In regular rotation, and each is examined
into by the Professor, who explains it to the assem-
bed class, prescrlbes tor them and puts them under
charge OF some OF the more advanced students
whose duty It IS to visit them at their homes and see
that the course recommended by the Professor is
carried out, or varying II, circumstances may re-
qulre. Under this plan 1t will be perceived that
vast number OF patients are prescribed for in the
course of the year, and what makes it more useful
s, that all this attendance is given gratuitously, the
students resting satisfied with the amount of know
ledge that they receive from having the opportunity
thus afforded them OF studying diseases practically
and as his whole course of treatment is under the
immediate advice OF the Professors, who are all of
them eminent men, the patient runs no risk OF what
they generally fear so much, VIZ. being experiment
ed on. Yesterday there were some very interesting
brought forward and commented on by Pro-
lessor Parker-they comprised several classes OF
diseases, such as epilepsy, fstula cutaneous COM
plants, &C. &c. Two or three minor operations
removing a small encysted tumor from the lips of a
lad. On all of these the Professor gave a great
deal of information Ia the class.


We passed through the museum OF the college,
and found 1t had been much beautified and enlarged
during the summer recess, and TO all who at al
curious in examining into the relics of poor suffer
ing humanity. this collection affords sufficient scope
for several days observation. Drs Rodgers andBeck
have contributed to most iberaly filled by gvlngt
the whole of their valuable collections and it alto
gether one of the best, medical museums In the
country The regular winter course of lectures
we perceived that the matriculation book showed
goodly number of names of young asplrants for
medical honors.
