To Correspondents.THE MEDICAL LITERARY SOCIETY.

A. Barrister, Clericus, and others.-The Society was established for the pur-pose of bringing together into one Association members of the differentlearned professions especially engaged in literature, with a view of pro-moting a friendly feeling between them. It was thought, moreover, by itsprojectors that by the agency of such a Society the general public might bemade more fully cognizant of the real position of the medical profession.Properly organized and conducted, the Society is calculated to confer greatbenefits upon both the profession and the public. Persons acquainted withthe peculiar position in which medical literature is in many respects placedat this moment will at once appreciate the value of such an institution.To bring the influence of the general press to bear upon subjects in whichthe public equally with the profession are interested is very desirable.Several of the most eminent writers connected with the general press aremembers of this Society, the object of which being the greatest good of thegreatest number, must not be thwarted by private interest or improper in-

; terference. At no period did the medical profession more urgently requirethat the public should be well informed on various subjects of professional

i and general interest than at the present time.One Faculty.-Nothing can more strongly demonstrate the importance of theestablishment of the one-faculty system than the recent course of events.Strongly as the various corporations, from selfish motives, oppose it, webelieve that it cannot be much longer delayed. Whatever its opponentsmay urge to the contrary, the one-faculty system is truly conservative, andwill tend to raise the character of the profession in the estimation of thepublic.

Juvenis.-The possession of the licence of the College of Physicians wiHobviate the necessity of his passing an examination at Apothecaries’ Hall.

Mr. Henry Hume, (Southall.)-Next week.Signum.-If he be a duly qualified practitioner, it would be well not to make t

charge; otherwise it is usual to do so.A Middlesex Student.-Inquiries will be made on the subject,
