XIII. ] THE BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES AND MEDICINE. 349 



to which those who occupy themselves with these 

 subjects are trained in the methods and impregnated 

 with the fundamental truths of biology. 



And, in conclusion, I venture to suggest that the 

 collective sagacity of this Congress could occupy itself 

 with no more important question than with this : How 

 is medical education to be arranged, so that, without 

 entangling the student in those details of the system- 

 atist which are valueless to him, lie may be enabled 

 to obtain a firm grasp of the great truths respecting 

 animal and vegetable life, without which, notwith- 

 standing all the progress of scientific medicine, he will 

 still find himself an empiric ?
