VIII. OCTOBER, 1880. VOL. I. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ The subjects rightly embraced in a Medical education, and the degree and manner in which those subjects should be respectively studied, have been freely discussed in many places during the last few weeks. Dr. Michael Foster in an “Address in Physiology,”[1] of unsurpassed interest, contends without contradiction that no medical subject—now that the entrance upon medical studies is preceded by a tested preliminary education—need be studied as heretofore as a mere mental training, and proposes that topographical anatomy, which has hitherto been so studied, should, to a certain extent, give way in favour of a more complete knowledge of physiology. The address must, and no doubt will, be read by all interested in medical education, whether general or special. The following quotation will answer our present purpose:— Footnote 1: Address in Physiology, delivered at the Annual Meeting of the British Medical Association, 1880.—Published in _British Medical Journal_, August 21st, 1880.
