Note. — In the opinion of an experienced physician, who
has kindly furnished the following hints, medical students
commit two or three important mistakes in preparing for
their profession. 1. In the country, they enter an office and
lead medical works for one or two years before attending
lectures. This is too long. It should not be more than three
or six months. During this time, if the student has access to a
skeleton, he can study with profit the anatomy of the bones.
To read the anatomy of the nerves, n^uscles, bloodvessels,
&c., &c., at this stage of his studies, is almost a waste of
time. He should endeavour, also, during the same time, to
gain some acquaintance with Botany and Materia Medica. 2.
