Abstract
MY attention has just been called to an article in the issue of NATURE of September 20, headed “Science in the Medical Schools.” This article professes to demonstrate by means of a table, compiled from lists given in the students' number of the Lancet, the extent to which instruction in science subjects not purely medical is provided in the medical schools. According to this table, no instruction is provided in biology or zoology, botany, physics, practical physics, bacteriology, and hygiene, or public health, in this medical school. If you will refer to the prospectus of the medical school, which I forward with this letter, you will find that very complete courses of instruction are given in all those subjects here, and that the instruction includes lectures, classes, demonstrations, and laboratory work in all the subjects.
