The next meeting of the National Medical Association will be held in Boston commencing on the first Tuesday in May next. Societies are requested to send a list of their delegates to Dr. H. J. Bowditch, Secr'y, by the 14th of April. Each

society is entitled to one delegate for every ten members, and one for every additional fraction over half of that number.

We see the project of establishing a National Medical College is discussed by our friend of the Buffalo Medical Journal.

We observe that a controversy has taken place between Professor Bartlett and the Editor of the Western Lancet, on account of strictures of the latter on the "Medical Philosophy" of the former.

The cholera is prevailing in Europe according to our last reports. It has almost, if not entirely subsided in this country. It is to be feared that it will break out again when warm weather comes.

Professor Williams, the distinguished Pathologist, of London, retires from the University College at the close of the present session.

Prof. T. D. Mitchell, of Lexington, Ky., has resigned his chair in Transylvania University, and accepted that of Theory and Practice in the Philadelphia College of Medicine.

The class in the Medical College of Ohio, the past session, numbered 175 students.

The Geneva Medical College has conferred the degree of M. D. upon Miss Elizabeth Blackwell, who had complied with all the requisitions of the institution. Her thesis published in the Buffalo Med. Jour., is a sensible document.

DENTISTRY.

C. H. QUINLAN, Dentist, would inform the members of the Medic a Profession that he is permanently located at 81 Clark St., opposite th Public Square. Having recently fitted up the above place with every convenience, he is persuaded his facilities for performing operations in dentistry will not be surpassed by any in the West. He has also associ ated with him his brother, J. D. Quinlan, who has had much experience in the setting of artificial teeth on gold plate, and who will pay particular attention to this department of the Profession. They will also be extensively engaged in the manufacture of Porcelain teeth, and hope by close attention to business to merit a good share of patronage.

For the benefit of those unacquainted he would refer to the following certificate:

This is to certify that Charles H. Quinlan has devoted his whole time for three consecutive years with me in the study of Medicine and Dentistry. I cheerfully recommend him to the public as a very skilful and competent Dentist and a gentleman in all respects worthy of the confidence of his patrons." CHAS. W. HARVEY, M. D., D. Ď. S.
