Samuel H. Dickson, N. D. Professor of the
Practice of Medicine, then delivered the valedic
tory address to the graduates. He opened with
an appropriate reference to the retirement of
Prefessor Robley Dunglison who had been con
nected with the institution since its foundation,
and said : "The annals of our school contain no
name more distinguished than that of Robley
Dunglieon; none more dear to those who have
had the happiness to enjoy his society and profit
by 118 wile counsels, his frank cordiality, his
kindly and courteous manner."
The valedictorian then gave an Interesting his
tory of the progress of medical science. He said:
"When I commenced the studies which
mutually engage us, Laennec had just leaned his
ear against a quire of paper rolled together and
pressed open the hollow thorax of a patient, and
the Stethoscope has now grown into an Instru
ment which discourses eloquent music to those
who have learned Its scale. Since, and indeed
recently,we have Ophthalmoscopes and Laryngo
scopes, and Otoscopes, and Enioscopes, with
which we watch the obscure changes which Indi
cate disease. Most curious of all is the Sphyg
mograph of Marey, delicately telegraphing to us
the movements of the heart itself; Its eager
throbbinge; Its keen and sharp convulsive con
tractions, and its slow and feeble undulations,
thus making clear the formerly doubtful indica
lions of its pathological states.
"The Microscope, long known it is true, but
only of late rendered satisfactory in Its applica
tion to our needs, now yields us re
sults not only wonderful but truly in.
girt:wave, and assslsted by the photograph,
provides us with pictures of minute structure
most interesting for us to observe and know
Are you ready to exclaim that this is all trite and
familiar to you? Enjoy it, then, employ it dili
gently, and thank those who have prepared for
you such abounding and facile sources of scien
tific acquisition.
"Nature concentrates her powers of evil and
disperses them,still retaining their strength. The
acrittacid juice otthe gnat and the ant;the deadly
bite of the tetao fly; the sting of the wasp and
bee, the venom of the cobra and the crotalus, are
all comprised in small compass. AU her conta
gious viruses have bid defiance to our powers of
detection; and the aerial poisons that spread
abroad the pestilence "which walketh in dark
ness and destroyeth at noonday," are invisible
and intangible. Savages have acquired the skill to
boll down or evaporate vegetable extracts for
truculent purposes, and even the Bushman is
master of the life of his enemy or his game with
the poisoned arrow.
"Alchemists and chemists of the
Middle Ages labored with the
same fiendish views, and we read mythical
stories of their incredible success in the prepara
tion of the aqua Tofana, and similar strange
drugs. Shakespeare tells us of the "cursed
hebenon" being poured into the oar of the royal
Dane by his incestuous brother. But these deli
cate arts are In abeyance, if not lost; and my
Toxicological triend and colleague tells me that,
after careful research, he can Lind on record but
a single instance of murder through this tender
Organ. Enough in this way was done, when
prussic acid was discovered—far too much for the
Interests of humanity when etr3 chnlne and nico
tine were added to the n e t.
"Here, again, we meet analogous compenea
lion, which it will be difficult for you to appre
ciate adequately. In 1817, when I was sitting on
the hard benches in Ninth street, listening to the
t lequent protections of a Wietar, a Physiek, and
a (thapman, morphine was separated from the

were , induced to swallow the huge ligaeotts
masses she nauseous draughts, the boluses, atilt,
Monti difficult to retain, but indispenaable to a
cure; and then you will be ready to believe the
stories of the'old books, nay, of books not very
old, for you will fi nd several of them in Good's
Works, concerning fevers of ten, twenty. and
even forty years' duration. Without the mealy
sla which resulted in the procurement of this, and
the similar alkaloids now in constant use, we
should not have been prepared to avail Ourselves
of the latest therapentical improvement—the
method of hypodermic medication.
"Yon have doubtless heard me affirm what
- believe to be true, that since Jenner's discovery
of vaccine, nothing has been done more import
ant in the interests of afflicted humanity. It
affords a glorious triumph over the greatest of
physical evils—Pain. It gives us, too, an equal
triumph over the sneering skeptic, who has been
so long accustomed to
_express his dissent as to
the efficacy of our remedies—the relation of cause
and effect--the argument post hoc propter hoc—on
account of the lapse of time between the admin
istration and the result. Now we have these
connected as closely as the flash of the powder
and the stroke of the bullet, not much less clearly
than the roar of the thunder and the destructive
sweep of the lightning which just precedes it "
"Mon tell, in his 'History of the Estates of
France,' mentions incidentally—'the virtues of
vegetable simple& certain of which, like mandroe
gora, taken in infusion, throw a man into a sweet
sleep, which makes him support, without pain,
the operations of surgery.' One would think
that the use of opium and of hashisch among the
Easterns would have been a suggestion of foams
thesis too clear to have been missed. So also we
would say of alcohol, as soon as it was discov
ered. Nothing of the kind seems, however, to
have been thought of until poor unfortunate
Wells, experimenting with Davy's new gas, im
agined that it might preserve the unhappy wretch,
under his dentist's hands, from the horrible crash
of extraction of a tooth. 'This succeeded—a little
doubtfully and transiently as even now—but was
found too transient and uncertain for a prolonged
surgical operation. What a miserable disappoint
meet to his bright benevolent hopes 1 . Let as
pity and forgive his weakness in preferring death
to the horrors of so great a failure. Morton, fol
lowing-the same train of thought, made trial of
ether—still so justly and highly valued. Then
came a long series of experiments, which have
finally placed chloroform, Simpson's treasure
trove, at the head Of this class of agents.
"Yon are happy in beginning tine' late the
practice of medicine and surgery—let me assure
you you will never appreciate how happy,with all
these weapons against that enemy whose name is
legion, and whose sharpest and most poisoned
dart is now blunted and met with an available
antidote."
Professor Dickson closed his address by seine
excellent advice to the young men who are now
about entering upon a professional career. He
said that the physician, above all other men,
should be a gentleman and a man of honor.
The profession is one of the highest and most
sacred trust, which to violate must entail
all the penalties of the basest treachery. The
poor, he said are ignorant and obstinate. Ea
deavor to enlighten and instruct them in matters
of health. Teach them how to procure fresh air
—how to repel all foulness and impurity. Let
the town or village or city where you dwell be in
some way the better for your presence there.
Epidemics and forms of pestilence will bemore
hopefully encountered by patients If thus pre
pared beforehand.
After the delivery of the address, &large lot of
bouquets were distributed among the graduates,
to whom they had been sent by their friends.
A benediction was then pronounce 4 and the
audience dispersed.
TaarranancE libtarnmo.-,-A temperance meet
ing was held last evening in the Lecture-room of
the Church, Seventh street, above Brown, this
being one of a series of meetings held for the
same object at this place. H. Sleeper presided.
The attendance has gradually increased, and the
meeting last evening was the largest of any yet
held in this place. During the month a large
number of persons signed the total abstinence
pledge. An address was made by Hiram Ward,
who spoke of the rapid spread of intemperance.
He attributed it to the free license given for the
sale of intoxicating liquors by our Legislature,
and pointed out the remedies necessary for the
eradication of this evil. J. L. Fortesene fol
lowed, and gave an interesting history of his
experience among our Courts, showing how,
after conviction and a brief imprisonment, crimi
nals, who had been guilty of high crimes trace
able to the immoderate use of liquor, had been
pardoned and let loose upon society. He depre
cated the evil consequences of this course, and
hoped that It would ere long be remedied. The
concluding address was made by Dr. Coats, who
showed the importance of church-members ex
erting their influence in behalf of the temperance
reform.
"THE FORTY THIEVES."—Two youths named
Thomas McCarty and Thomas Doran, who are
said to belong to a gang known as "The Forty
Thieves," were arrested yesterday by Policeman
McKibbin, of the Tenth District. They are
charged with having committed several robberies

The first case of this kind octurced ten aye since,
and was brought to my notice by Mr. Goo. O. Porter,
Druggist, 842 Broadway, N. Y., who returned a half
dozen spurious bottles. I then came to the conclusion
that the wrappers were stolen, or a' transfer of the
engine) plates taken by a dishonest engraver.
The intelligence wars startling. I immediately pro
ceeded to ferret out the perpetrator, I have every
confidence in my success. Patients need have no ne
easiness hereafter. Druggists, 013 a class, are honora
ble. All have been notified of the existence of the
spurious. Patient and druggist can readily detect by
the explanation set forth in this article.
Another very important thing to druggists, that
quite a quantity of theepurious has already fermented,
and such a thing has never occurred to the genuine.
I cannot imagine what impression the afflicted have
formed of me, who have been BO rantbrtunate as to
have purchased the sput i iotisi or the injury done my
name and business. But my friendly relations and
extensive acquaintance in the trade, and the precau
tions I have taken, willprevent its recurrence. I wUI
greatly appreciate it if the druggiste will examine

The Chicago Journal of the 10th says:
To-day we are called upon to chronicle another
horror, and one which, in is details, is of a most
revolting and heart-rending character. The cir
cumstances of this last terrible sensation are as
follows:
Situated on Farrell street, in that portion of
the city known as Bridgeport, stands a small
house. In this habitation resided Morris Finn a
laboring man. Finn is an Irishman. His family
consisted of his wife and two children, one two
years of age and' the other an infant.
Up to Saturday_ evening Finn attended his
work regularly. Ms absence was noted by his
fellow laborers, but was not thought much about.
When, at length, Monday passed and he still had
failed to appear, serious apprehensions were en
tertained that he or some of the members of his
family were Very ill indeed, or had probably died,
and it was determined to ascertain the cause of
his prolonged absence. An investigation was
therefore set on foot yesterday forenoon.
One of the exploring party, a Mr. Farley, went
around the house, and peering into the kitchen
window, saw Finn's boots standing by the stove,
from which they were convinced that he, was in'
the honise.
The party then proceeded to the opposite side
of the house, in which is the window of the bed
room. A look through this window, though but
a glimpse was obtained, resulted in the discovery
that both Finn and his wife were in bed, it being
then nearly one o'clock in the afternoon. As
sistance was procured and a forcible entrance
made, when a most

TRAGEDY IA DRIDGEPORT, ILL.
A Family. Poisoned.
SICKENING SCENE
was presented to the gaze of those who were pre
sent. Stretched upon that bed lay the lifeless
corpses of the mother and her children, traces of
decay showingthat decomposition had already
commenced. The mother had evidently died in
the most violent paroxysms. The father was in
the same bed, and at the moment the room was
entered was at the point of death. He was
terribly weakened, and nearly unconscious, and
when found was stretched directly across the
corpse of one of his IShildren. It appeared that
whatever the cause of their deaths, that all had
been similarly affected.
The next step on the part of the discoverers
was to summon a clergyman, and the family be
ing Catholic, the Rev. Father Luby, of . St. Brid
get's parish, was called in. Dr. Bidwell was like
wise summoned to attend to Finn. The latter,
under the doctor's treatment, was restored to.
partial eon scionsnemand an attempt was made to
obtain from him a statement of the affair. Only
incoherent and diaconneeted sentences have been
obtained from him. These wore to the effect that
be had been taken quite seriously ill on Saturday
night, and bad procured a box of pills from a•
neighboring drug-store, some of which he had
token, and bad become delirious. He professed
to be unaware that his wife was dead, bat it was
hard to decide whether he was willing to reveal
a hat be really knew, it seeming, at times, a s
.
though be was not as thoroughly unconscio us
as be endeavored to appear.
The Coroner was next notified and arrived on
the scene at 8 o'clock. Ltttle doubt was - enter
Mined that - deceased had died :from the effects of
polabn. 'Ali there seemed td be richarnie; . of
recovery it was decided not to hold aninlietettt oa
the remains for the Want, and until the ;result
of a chemical analysis of thei 'eonteute:Of the
stomachs shall be known.
Drs. Pitcher• and Simon made a poit nutrient ex
amination of the mother and the eldest ehild,wlth
the same result in each Distance. The • presence
of arsenic was indicated by. the - highly inflamed
condition of the stomachs, while the symptoms
exhibited by Morris Finn's sufferings also led to
the belief that that poison,was the deadly agent
swallowed by, the deceased and by him.:..
The
The whole affair,so far,is shrouded in mystery.
Some are of• opinion that Finn first poisoned his
family and then swallowed a dose of the mixture
himselftbut those who Indulge in this theory can
advance no basis for their supposition. '-Others,
without being able to criMinate or suspect - any
person or , assign any cause, believe that some
enemy of,the family sought their destruetion,and
took the course indicated to accomplish his or
her shocking crime. Others, again, incline to
the opinion that the family may have been acci
dentally poisoned by some article of food of
which they had partisken on Saturday evening,
during supper.
