Abstract
THE annual meeting of the British Medical Association is, no doubt, increasing in importance, since it is becoming a congress for the demonstration of the advance of medicine. The work of the meeting may be considered as belonging to two classes, the practical and the scientific. Many, no doubt, who attend the annual meeting, do so with the object of gaining practical help in both the medical and the surgical treatment of their patients; and this help the annual meeting gives in abundance. One of the most important parts of the meeting, however, is that which is occupied with the progress of scientific medicine, and consists not so much in the announcement of startling discoveries (for with these medicine has but little to do), but in the revision and criticism of the facts discovered by experiment and at the bedside.
