MPERIAL GRANUM, W. C. WILE, M. D., in the New England Medical Monthly, January, 1888 "In the delicate conditions of the stomach, when every thing else has been rejected I have saved many lives by giving IMPERIAL GRANUM. I consider this as one of the very best foods the physician can find to assist him in carrying through his patient to recovery; and I have found it of inestimable value in the later stages of Phthisis, Gastritis, Gastric Catarrh, Dyspepsia and Dysentery. It requires little effort of the stomach to digest and I have never known it to be rejected if properly prepared, given in small quantities and at frequent intervals. The great care used in its manufacture will lead the physician to expect the same product all the time, and we can assure him that he will never be disappointed, as we have fully tested it in our extended experience."

We speak from experience when we say that the IMPERIAL GRANUM is both safe and nutritious. It has been on the market for many years, and the largely increasing sales show that many others have found like results attending its use.-The Christian Union, N. Y.

As a Medicinal Food IMPERIAL GRANUM, which is simply a solid extract from very superior growths of wheat, is unexcelled. It is easy of digestion, is not constipating, and is to-day the STANDARD DIETETIC preparation for invalids, for the aged, and for the very young.-North American Journal of Homœopathy, N. Y., Dec., '87.

IMPERIAL GRANUM has now been before the public for many years, and is generally admitted to be a standard preparation. There can be no doubt that this is due to its uniformly superior quality, and the successful results obtained with it in all cases where an artificial food is required.-Popular Science News, Boston, February, '88.

"IMPERIAL GRANUM.-A neighbor's child being very low, reduced, in fact, to a mere baby skeleton from want of nourishment, as nothing could be found which the child could retain, at the urgent request of friends the parents were induced to try IMPERIAL GRANUM, which proved such a benefit to the child it grew and thrived beyond all comprehension. At the same time I had a child sick with cholera infantum; on being presented with a box of Granum, with the high recommend from this neighbor, used it and continued its use to raise the child on, and I firmly believe this had all to do in saving the former child's life and the greater part in restoring my own child to health.

P. VARNUM MOTT, M. D., Boston, Mass., in the Microcosm, New York, February, 1886."There are numerous Foods that are much vaunted, and all have their adherents. The 'IMPERIAL GRANUM,' in my hands, seems to be all that is claimed for it, and experience has brought me to rely on its use where its special properties are indicated. In infantile diseases it has proved very efficacious, and I always direct its use when a child is being weaned."

The lives of untold thousands of infants have been saved by IMPERIAL GRANUM, and careful mothers are loud in their praises of this well known food, and pharmacists can safely recommend it.-Proceedings Illinois Pharmaceutal Association, 1887.

ARTICLE I. SOME OF THE ADVANTAGES OF THE UNION OF MEDICAL SCHOOL AND UNIVERSITY.*

It is a hopeful and gratifying circumstance that within the last few years universities in this country and in England have shown an awakened and enlightened interest in the advancement of medical science and the promotion of higher medical education. Among the most notable evidences of this interest is the recent organization at the great Universities of Oxford and of Cambridge in England of medical departments, not as detached schools, but as integral and coördinate parts of the university. The vivifying influence of this intimate connection between medical study and the university has made itself manifest in zeal for research, equipment of laboratories, improved methods of instruction, and a more orderly and systematic scheme of study.

* An Address delivered at Yale University, June 26th, 1888. WILLIAM H. WELCH, M.D., Professor of Pathology in Johns Hopkins University.

If I mistake not the significance of the present occasion there are here in Yale University intelligent appreciation of the great purposes to be accomplished by promotion of the best medical education and a desire to render the medical department not less efficient than the other departments of this university.

The present occasion seems an appropriate one to consider some of the relations of medical education to the university.

In this country and in England medicine is taught chiefly in independent professional schools without any connection or with only a nominal connection with a university. An important distinction exists between the independent medical schools of the United States and those of Great Britain, in that our schools have the power of granting degrees, whereas medical degrees and licenses to practice medicine can be obtained in Great Britain only by passing examination at the universities or before the examining boards of certain corporations. The assumption by independent schools of medicine of the power of granting the doctor's degree, without any control from a university or from the State, is a main reason in this country for the lack of uniformity in medical education, for the enormous number of medical schools beyond all necessities of the community, for the ease with which medical degrees can be obtained, and for the consequent degradation in the significance and the value of the degree of doctor of medicine.

These and other evils of the system of medical education prevailing in this country, are widely appreciated and generally deplored by all who take an enlightened interest in the advancement of the science and art of medicine. They were made the subject of a vigorous address by the president of the American Medical Association at its last session. Probably none recognize more clearly the need of reform than many of the teachers in the best of our medical schools. In general they are to be credited with the desire to accomplish all that is possible in the face of such serious obstacles as the absence of endowments, and the consequent necessity of entering into competition with bad and indifferent schools. The introduction of requirements regarding preliminary education,
