    that by legislating in such a manner as to secure the public welfare, parliament would best secure the real inter¬ ests of the profession. I shall not, I trust, be accused of over partiality to the medical profession if I add that it has peculiar claims on the public. Its members of every grade are the untiring friends of the poor—their time—their skill —their labour is ever gratuitously at the service of the indi¬ gent; and it ought to be the duty of a public body to exert itself to procure for such men an education that will enable them the better to gratify their benevolent intentions by affording more effective aid to afflicted humanity.
