THE VETERINARY SCHOOLS.

tern. Almost first among these, and the most interesting of.all, 
rabies will demand attention. To the sensorial system will suc¬ 
ceed the digestive, the circulatory, the secernent, the absorbent, 
the generative, the locomotive, and the integumental; and in 
them will be found matter more than enough for the whole 
course. The lectures will be delivered on each Monday, Wed¬ 
nesday, and Friday afternoon, at five o’clock. 
About the middle of November, the able and indefatigable 
Professor of the Edinburgh School will commence his course of 
lectures. They will embrace the anatomy, 'physiology, and 
diseases of all domesticated animals. Notwithstanding his ex¬ 
tensive practice, so ardent is he in the cause in which he has 
embarked, that, after lecturing until the middle of January three 
times in the week, besides a long and close examination lecture 
on the Saturday, he then begins to appear before his pupils four 
times in the week, and after the middle of February five times, 
besides the Saturday’s most important of all his intercourses 
with them. 
For the sake of his class, Mr. Dick practises gratuitously on 
the horses and cattle of the poor. It is only for the owner to say 
that he is poor, and the animal is carefully attended to; and if 
lessons of particular value are likely to arise out of the case, it 
is admitted into the infirmary. The most trustworthy and as¬ 
siduous of his class have always some of these patients com¬ 
mitted to them, subject to his direction and inspection; so that 
their practice commences, and in the most advantageous way, 
at an early period. And when the Professor returns in the 
evening, however fatigued he may be, he is always ready to listen 
to the reports of his young deputies, and suggest many a useful 
hint, and warn from many a dangerous error. 
Mr. Dick’s pupils have gratuitous admission to lectures on 
chemistry, and, in fact, to those on every branch of medical 
science. 
The manner in which Mr. Dick’s school is identified with the 
Highland Society of Scotland, and by means of which every 
scientific veterinarian is also identified with the agricultural 
association of the district in which he lives, is deserving of
