The resolutions were finally adopted, and the

IL Mr.. GRAHAMs Second Lecture, delivered
last evening at the Society Library, was devoted
almost exclusively to a criticism of the prevailing
methods of treating Disease. The main propo-
stion which he labored 10 establish was that laid
down and so strenuously insisted upon IN his first
Lecture, viz: that the Theory and Practice Of
Medicine are not at present based upon Sclcntlhc
principles, but rest upon conjecture ana emPyr-
cism Some of the theories Of different men.
eminent in the medical profession, were reviewed
and shown to be preposterous. The Lecturer
was as usual earnest in manner and convincing IN
argument; but we cannot withhold the express
sion of our regret that he should deem 1t neccs-
sary TO devote two of his five Lectures to matters
of a preliminary nature. If it were ever so I'M
portant to show up the empyrlclsm OF the medi-
cal profession, the time given to that topic IN the
first Lecture might IS well have sutiiced; and
since we have venturcd upon the work OF crltl
cism, We will not withhold the expression of our
deep conviction that Mr.. G.. might greatly I'm
prove his method as Lecturer, by avoiding the
too frequent repetition of ideas and principles
which, if not as familiar to his audience as to
himself. are at least clearly understood when
once fairly presented before them. Our judy
ment NAV be at fault in these matters, but 1t IS
given in the most friendly spirit, and will pass Tor
what it is worth.
