BosrwIcKs MEDICAL AND SURGICAL INSTITUTE
We have received note from DR.. Cunning s Bed
ford, contradicting in some degree the statement
made in the Herald OF yesterday relative to his profess
sional services having been secured by DIR Bostwick
of the Institute" in Chamber street We believe
that an error was committed by us IN the mode OF
expression employed to convey a fact of which there
s not any doubt The simple fact is this Dr. Bost.
wick is In the habit, when any case of remarkable
interest occurs in his Institute" 10 consult some
OF the most eminent physicians or surgeons, as the
case may be, in the city. Their opinion is very
cheeriuly and readily given, and for their aid Dr.
Bostwick pays handsomely, dividing with them the
amount OF fees paid by the patient. This is an equi-
table and very common sense arrangement, and The
professional gentlemen whose services are thus
sought and paid for, are not at all inclined as the
public may readily conceive, to find fault with it,
DR. Mott has in this way been consu,ed--so has DR.
Cheeseman-so has Dr. Nelson, the distinguished
surgeon from Canada-so has nr. Bedford, and in
tact, almost all the leading men n the profession in
the city. Or Bedford finds fault with the expression
that he has been called on to operate and prescribe
in the Institute,' because he does not wish it TO be
supposed that he is business partner in the strict
sense of the term. We therefore very readily make
the correction he desires, adding at the same time
that our fret statement wasintended, and virtually
was, complimentary rather than otherwise to the
Professor of Obstetrics and the Diseases Of Women
and Children in the "Stuyvesant Institute" in its
connection of his name with the Chambers street
institute"


Our attention has been directed, by this note OF
Dr. Bedford, still more keenly to DR.. Bostwick' :
" Institute" We have heard good deal about it
from several OF the medical gentlemen of this city.
They like the excellent and satisfactory business ar
rangenents Of the doctor, and consider the system
as well calculated to promote the mutual advantages
Of the resident physician, and those whom he calls
in consulting physicians and operating surgeons
We understand that some most remarkable cases,
which had baffled the skill of all previous treatment,
have yielded TO that adopted by DR.. Bostwick, and
we may, probably, one of these days, give history
of the establishment and refer to the details of some
OF these cases.
