The " Caricature,"—is it a caricature ?They are a bright set, if the artist hasbeen true to nature. The rules of Additionand Subtraction are well understood. The

attempts at Reduction fail. The Division

(of labour) is perfect. The Rule of Three

(months) is rejected. Instruction in Prac-tice is sadly needed.No Bat can see in Paris what he wants ;

but when there he should order its regulardelivery. In Geneva the same. Medicalnews from the latter place will be accept-able, if authenticated.Mr. JOHN COWAN of Edinburgh, for-

warded to us some time since a charge ofnon-professional conduct against Mr.

Syme of Edinburgh. Mr. Syme repliedto the allegation, and Mr. Cowan sent tous a rejoinder, which we regret to say wasmislaid and lost. Having however re-

ceived another copy of the missing docu-ment, we now insert the following re-

marks, extracted from that communica-tion :-Mr.Cowan says that it was after as-certaining the fracture and not Lefore thathe called in Mr. Syme, and then to obtainhis opinion solely with respect to the neckof the thigh hone, which Mr. Cowanthought also possibly might have sustainedsome injury. Mr. Cowan also says, and wethink justifies his statement, that the sup-ply of the splint hy Mr. Syme, was simplyto save time. Mr. Cowan adds that heafterwards on meeting Mr. Syme’s appren-tice in the street, took him merely from afeeling of courtesy to Mr. Syme to see the

progress of the case, from which accidentalcircumstance Mr. Cowan says it was

affirmed that the apprentice conductetlthe treatment. As to the " circumstancesof the family being straitened," Mr.Cowan observes that Mr. Crerar is a manin a respectable business and runs his gig.Mr. Cowan regards his complaint againstMr. Syme as unanswered if these state-ments cannot be contradicted.
