LECTURE I. GENTLEMEN,-The subject I have to bring before you claims to be a very important part of Materia Medica; for it treats of remedies, prepared in the womb of the earth by the power of nature alone, and in many instances indispensable to effect a cure. The mineral springs, though standing on the same ground they occupied years or centuries ago, have come considerably nearer to us through the blessing of the great world-reformers, the railroads. A place, which would formerly have been reached only after a long journey and at a great expense, becomes every year more accessible to sufferers of the middle class; and often in your afterlife will you thank the gentlemen at the head of this Institution for having afforded you an opportunity to learn that which many of your fellow-students are unable to acquire. The spas are not unknown here, for a great many English are found at almost every continental watering-place. The only regret to be felt is, that they do not resort to these fountains of Hygeia by the advice of their medical attendants, but mostly on the recommendation of some lay acquaintance, who has found relief from his ailment at a certain spa, and by merely judging from appearance, of course thinks every analogous morbid affection must be combated by the same means. How often disappointment must follow such advice you may easily imagine, for the spas are at no time indifferent remedies; the patient will either improve or get decidedly worse; nay, his health is sometimes jeopardised if he uses baths or springs on his own account, and without proper discrimination.
