MEDICAL REFORM .- A most important scheme of this description is in contemplation . No one who is at all an observer of what is passing in society can be ignorant of the abuses committed , and impositions practised , by persons of inadequate or no education assuming the rank of those who have been duly educated ; depriving
them of those emoluments to which they are entitled , as well as injuring- society by their ignorance of medical science . Dr . Harrison , of Horncastle , is the prime mover , supported by many physicians and surgeons of the highest character in . London . In this undertaking , among other men of rank ( not of the medical

Nor vain their hope : —bright beaming through the sky , Burst in full blaze the Dayspring from on high ; Earth ' s utmost isles exulted at the sight , And crowding nations drank the orient lio ; ht .
Lo , star-led chiefs Assyrian odours bring , And bending Magi seek their infant king ! Mark'd ye , where hovering o ' er JrLh radiant head , The dove ' s white wings celestial glory shed ?
Daughter ofSion ! virgin queen ! rejoice ! Clap the glad hand , and lift th * exulting voice ! He comes , —but not in regal splendour drest , The haughty diadem , the Tyrian vest ; Not armd in flame , all glorious from afar , Of hosts the chieftain , and the lord of
war : Messiah comes : —let furious discord cease ; Be peace on earth before the Prince of peace ! Disease and anguish feel His blest con * troul ,
