This is a merited tribute, and it is delightful to find it so willingly given by surviving brethren.

JOHN A. TURNER, M. D. A few weeks before the death of Dr. Rhodes, the profession and people of Zanesville had experienced the loss of another intelligent and honorable physician, Dr. Turner. He was a native of the valley of Virginia, where, in the memorable epidemic, autumnal fever of 1823, he experienced an attack, which left him with an enlarged spleen. From this resulted repeated attacks of intestinal hæmorrhage, followed at last by ascites, of which he died. We have a full history of his case taken from his own mouth, with an account of the autopsic appearances, communicated to us by Mr. Hazlett, a student of medicine, which presents so many points of interest, that we shall lay it before our readers in a future number. Dr. Turner was greatly beloved by his acquaintances, and died amidst the regrets of society.

AN INTRODUCTORY LECTURE, BY PROFESSOR LINDSLY, OF THE COLUMBIAN COLLEGE. November, 1840.

This Lecture, the subject of which is "Medical Science and the Medical Profession in Europe and the United States," is one of much more than usual interest and ability. The author of it shows himself to be a scholar, of enlarged and liberal views. We should like to see his Lecture in the hands of every student of medicine in the country.
