The cllnlcal course given by the faculty of the Homeopathie department, during; the present week. for the benefit ut' the general practitlonera of the state has been an unquallfled succes?. The abundance of clinical material at the hospital during the past months, averaging during the month of Maren over forty and thus far in April over ."■", daily, has made such a course feasible. The enthusiastic reception of such a course by physicians throughout the state has not only demonstrated the Hourishing condition of this department, but also the gratifying fact that the profession of the state are as much Interested in the upbuüding of the department as are the laculty and the board of regenls. The increased number of patients during the past winter haa already overcvowded the hospital, and early" in the month the congestión became so excesslve that it was necessary to make an addition i' twelve new beds. These have rapidly fllled and the questlon is no longer more beds but more room. An example of the flourishing condition of the hospital is seen in the statement for the month of March made tu the board of regents, wherein the amount taken in frorr patients for that month exceeded by over $400 that of fhe fame month last year. The pros,'!-■ ts are that the number of patients for the present year, ending on Ocluber 1 next. wil] doublé that of the preceding year. These facts speak for themselves. During the week just ended the daily average of patients in the Homeopathie hospital has been 02.

The third day was devoted largely to orificial surKy. twelve different operations were performed which very thoroughly covertd thls field.
