article clears up the difficulties, and he points out both their advantages and disadvantages. Dr. Oliphant in another article deals with the Royal Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. He states that until 1850 every new member joining the faculty was obliged to subscribe to a Widows' Fund, entailing an expense of at least 5350. This amount was prohibitive to most young practitioners, and it was only those who were comparatively well off who could afford to become members. Further, the mortality from typhus and other fevers was very high, so that many died without leaving any dependents who might benefit from thc fund.
The last article is by Dr. Fergus, who gives plcasantly and anecdotally his recollections of medical Glasgow and its University.
This centenary number is adorned with twenty-one illustrations which are well reproduced; many of them are portraits of those who have rendered good service to the journal in their generations, but have now fallen upon sleep.
