A few weeks a remarkable deputation of a dozen ''hinese doctors, members of the Hangchow Medical Association and the cream of the native medical faculty called upon Dr. Main to ask him if he could put them through a short course of Western Medicine and bring them up to date! An hour and more was spent the College authorities, native and foreign, discussing the s tion, and it was decided to give two or three demonstrations on the mannikin, dry bones, etc., and then meet again after the great heat was over.
The first lecture on the use of the stethoscope was well attended and the second called out a great many who were anxious to see our mannikin takey to two thousand pieces. The various parts of the body were hu run over and the seat of intelligence in the brain and not the abdomen, was pointed out with a smile! The third meeting consisted in advising the doctors to spend the next three months studying tomy, physiology and chemistry and laying a foundation for short course (post-graduate) which the College Authorities hope to wake arrangements for after the summer.
