Merely to look at the tabulated cases, amounting in number to about 20,000 patients at a cost of 15 cents per head, gives no definite idea of the value of the work accomplished. If time allowed I could show from a glance at cach category of subjects a great amount of suffer- ing alleviated or removed, "but I restrict my glance to the class of urinary calculi, operations for which during the past decade have averaged more than one per week. Consider the great amount of unbearable suffering that has been removed, the success attending the operations Jan. 1 By being unprecedented, greatly owing to Dr. Kerr's skill and partly to the Chinese, being less susceptible to danger from hemorrhage. But the practice of medicine and surgery pales in Importance to the clinical instruction afforded to native students which, in turn sinka into insignificance compared to that which Is imparted to native practitioners through works on medicine and the collateral sciences, which Dr. Kerr and his collaborators, Dr. Dudgeon, of Peking, the late Dr. Osgood, of Foochow, and others have given to China. That these works are understood and appreciated by native practitioners is evinced by their continued and increasing sale. They are penetrating every portion of this great Empire, and those published follows:-President--J. G. Kerr, M.D.: Sen. a generation age by Dr. Hobson on physiology: Vice-President-Rev. A. P. Happer, D.D., M.D.; surgery, midwifery, &c., are still in demand. The Vice-Presidents-Hon. W. Keswick; Mr. W. H. list of Dr. Kerr's works includes treatises on

This medical superstition regards man's body as wholly com- posed of therapeutic agents, a superstition which in its effects is undoubtedly discivilizing, and one of the consequences of the publications of this Society must ultimately be the expurgation of that loathsome, hideous medication. It is re gretable that Drs, Kerr and Swan and the lady practitioners are precluded by modesty from presenting the claims of and explaining more fully the work accomplished. This appears particularly in the scant information furnished in relation to lady practitioners. It was re- served for advanced thinkers of the latter part of the waning century to recognize the claims of women to receive instruction in the healing art, but no sooner had colleges commenced con- ferring degrees of doctor of medicine than women doctors sped to the ends of the earth with the self-denying and benevolent fervour that characterizes the sex, to minister like angels to their suffering sisters in less

all comparable to that distinguished lady, and it cannot be considered 45 otherwise than unfortunate that in the very maturity of her experience and the zenith of her energy her services should be lost to the country. It was by no means her intention twat she should be cut off entirely from the control of affairs: ber conventional protestations must be taken in the nola episcopari sense; but, once placed out. side the regular machinery of government, her in fluence could only be maintained through her per sonal ascendancy over the young Emperor work- ing through extra-official channels. Most impor tant it was, of course, among other precautions elaborated during many years, to plant in the Imperial bosem a confidante on whom Her Majesty could always rely to convey her desires In the most taking manner to the young monarch. Equally important was it to ulilize to the utmost the unique position of the Emperor's father, whose paternal influence was essential to the success of the Dowager's plans; and whose public offices in connection with the Army and Navy placed also a certain amount of substantive power in his own bands. The triangular compact seemed to promise well in the beginning, and the young Emperor was for a while guided by the parental counsels of the Seventh Prince and the Empress-Dowager. But as might have been, and doubtless was foreseen, this combination was too menacing to the other principalities and powers, and the latent forces of the opposition were roused into sudden activity to prevent the consummation of a pact which would leave them in the cold shade for an in- definite time. An attack had therefore to be made on the Empress and the Seventh, Prince, the objective being to gain possession of the Emperor The Railway projects of last year afforded the providential opportunity. The Seventh Prince was committed to the scheme as head of the Board of Admiralty, the Dowager was known

to be the real mover, and the Emperor himself had touched the proposals with the vermilion pencil. It was a bold assault on a strong position, but the assailante had well calculated the dormant powers which favoured them; and how completely they sue- ceeded has been recorded in the columns of the newspapers during the past year. The effect of this attack has been to loosen the joints of the tripartite alliance, and to encourage all descrip- tions of apposition. The Seventh Prince was of course easily disconcerted, being a weak man and occupying a delicate position in the State tion that has yet raged within the precincts of which is destined to arouse the fiercest conten-

The above sketch is fat, however, from ex- hausting the subject of our article.
