    cal Societies of this metropolis, boasting a long line of mem- bers distinguished by their social and professional |>osition, has ever been characterised by the pursuit of inquiries into the nature of diseases and their treatment, in the spirit of the immortal Hunter. I thank you much for the attention with which you have listened to this discourse. I confidently expect that, when the science and experience of our Society shall be applied to the elucidation of the best mode of using venous injections, a fur- ther step in the progress of our art will be accomplished,—a step calculated to increase our means of alleviating the suffer- ings of humanity, at least in some of those appalling diseases— cholera, tetanus, hydrophobia, and others,—in the treatment of which our experience has been hitherto the most often baffled; the diseases, therefore, in which additional means of relief are the most desiderated.
