PROSVECVUS OF THE CEOKG7J MEDICAL REPORTER. BV JOHN G. SLAFPY, M. D. • What we should seek in the Sciences is truth, and truth, is in the facts.'' —Broussais. IT 4s now more than six years since I first con ceived the idea of publishing periodically t ie above work, for the following reasons, winch are o >- ’Vionsand striking: There being no publication o n hind in the State ; and, lot ought I know, • ' ,0,, S * the whole Southern States; we are compel ed, con sequently, to look to the North, and through l-U to Europe, for every thing new, rare, and mterost ng the science. it would seem pecuhary »PP ° » e just at the present time, when the most awtll v s>t - (ion is hovering over the land-the Asiatic Cholcr It Ims already swept across « R ,ei “ exl ' | ' nt ‘ . America; from Montreal and Quebec to New O lean-; visiting almost every city and town of any im portance in the Northern Middle and \V extern States. There is left no reasonable ground to justify the con clusion, that our highly favoured section oi country, can much longer escape the impending evil. Besides, -have we no disease or modification of disease, iiioi dent and peculiar to our climate, and remedies native of onr country ? . . . f Medicine had its origin, in necessity : in motives ot Ticncvolence and philanthropy —in a disposition to mitigate the evils—to ameliorate the condition o. suf fering human nature to balße/e/Z disease— the greatest curse inflicted on fallen man—and bestow on him Health, the chiefcst bit s«ing, saving the atoning b.ood of our Saviour. Our much lamented Rush said, “while the world, from the progress ot intellectual, moral, / find political truth, is becoming a more safe and agree- j able abode for man, the votaries of Medicine should not be idle.” The American Linmeus, the late ven erable Benj. S. Barton said, “he who discovers one Valuable new Medicine, is a more important benefac tor of liiv species than Alexander, Cesar, Bonaparte, or an hundred other conquerors. Even his glory. In the estimation ot a truly civilized age, .vill be great er and more lasting, than that of these admired ravag es of the world.” What is the condition of our department of science ; in Georgia? Indeed and in iruih, our Medical lore is , 'lurking far behind (comparatively speaking) the active improvements of the day —Uie spoil ot the times ad- j niuiiishing us to look forward, with an unrivited gaze, j tipou the advance of man and the “march ot mind. There is medical talent in Georgia, and yet she is al most without professional character; because she has I not enterprise, industry and energy. There is mani- I festly but little written on medicine in our State; med- i icai reading too, is not pursued with avidity, less stud- j led, properly undeistood and regarded. j Let us turn our attention io the constant and indc- ; faligable efforts of many American teachers ; but es-j peciaily to the late works of our own countryman, professor Jackson of Philadelphia. lie inculcates, principles upon the unerring guide of genuine and in- ' duciivc philosophy. he declaims against authority; . and boldly asserts the. non-existence of a specific gas- . trie juice, anil advocates other certainties, as impor tant t» physiology and truth. . ' The recont splendid discoveries of Abercrombie of j Scotland, of Abernethy, Lawrence, Clutterbuck, j Teale,&c. &c. oi England, are their everlasting tnon- | uments. Germany is likewise moving on But atmve j. all, stand the sons of France, and ot true medical phi- . losophy, Andral Broussais, Baron Larry, Piael Laen- ( Tiec and others; these moderns of the moderns, have ■ wholly uprooted the old and ancient systems of rou- , tine medicine :—they have sought, however, not so much to overthrow former systems founded in error. I, as they have lo discover truth, and the real etiology ot ; disease. They have not only succeeded in removing :, the rubbish, but in establishing medicine on a surer . and firmer foundation, and giving to it the line oi | JUiaich onwardto perfection. fl would bi uncandid, and it is not to be denied or concealed, that the doctrines of the French school, »■ d particularly those ol the deservedly renowned nml immortal reformer Broussais, will ho hold anti , ni untamed in this Gazette. We regard them (and ( they are universally admitted) as containing!he purest ana most substantial oi the great fundamental truths 1 of physiological medicine. They are founded in data: j ( the dissecting knife has been made to reveal and de- . , velope from pathological anatomy, principles of a ■ ( fixed character. They will be as enduring as time, and as solid as ( ndamant. Principles involved in cause and effect, ( that were heretofore considered mysteries inexplica- ( ble, are now known and established facts. In the ) ( mind of Broussais, positive philosophy has sought and ( found confessedly a regenerating and redeeming , spirit. ♦Ve come not without diffidence, presenting our ( humble ottering, feeble and retired as it is. to contrib ui our mite al the altar oi professional sciencej if we. can out give a zest to the young mind, an inclination ana direction to medical inquiry, it is all we hope and expect; it is (he "nr plus ultra' of cur wishes, I Some oftlie best talent ol the State is engaged to . assist and to contribute in the work, and we confi *!<• itly expect to be able to concentrate and combine such n fund oi foreign and domestic intelligence in ' ou’ journal, as to make it acceptable, if not agreeable | aimost any where. b< lections and Extracts will be made from the follow- | mg Periodicals; and all new works as they come out: [ AMERICAN.

Mercer Institute. THE Mercer Institute, for combining study and manual labour, will go into operation outlie 2d I Monday in January next, under the direction of the 1 Rev. B. 11. Sanders. The principle object of the Institution is the educa tion of pious young men, who are called to the gospel ministry and have been licensed by the church to which they belong, and have a good report of them that arc without —and particularly those who are indi . ge n t — a nd such are affectionately invited to bring their testimonials ano avail themselves gratuitously of the advantages of the Institution. But as we have no ; reason to believe that this class of pupils will fill up | the school; it will receive, in addition, as many young men of good moral character, as can be provided for, irrespective of religious sentiments. The Committee are of opinion that, from the limited state of its pres ent accommodations, they will not be able to receive more than 30 to board on the premises the first Term —As fast, as our friends may find themselves xvell pleased with the experiment we may make, as to con tribute to our means, we design to enlarge our accctn j naodations for students, and open our doors for them | All the branches of science, usually taught in gram [ mer schools, will be taught in this Institution. No stu dent will be received for less than one year—the year j will be divided into two terms—the first of six months, i from the 2d Monday in January, to the 2d in July— I the 2d of 5 months, from the 3d Monday in July, to . j the 3d Monday in December. i BOARD, for all over IG years of age, will be S3O i for the scholastic year, and $G for washing ; those utr i der 16, at 5 per month, having a reasonable deduction for their labour—each student furnishing his own bed and candles. Forwent of funds, board and tuition will be required in advance, to be paid to the stew ard. Tuition will be $9 for the firstterm, ’to all en gaged in reading, writing, arithmetic, grammar, ge ography and history. All the higher branches of science and the languages, will be taught for sl£* the firstterm —the second hi proportion. Each student will be required to iabourthree hours each day, five and a half days in the week. The time and kind of labour will be directed by the steward, underthe control of the Trustees; and each student will be expected to conform strictly to the regulations of the Institution. It will be expedient for each stu dent to have coarse clothes to work in ; and it is de sired that the wearing apparel of all should be plain and cheap, that there may be as little distinction a* possible, and that lhe principle of economy may ho 1 fully carried into every department of the Institution. I As our Institution is in its infancy, and in want of ev-. ery thing, any useful book, to aid hi forming a library, and any implement for labour, or any suitable articlo of furniture, that any friend may find it convenient tu contribute, will be thankfully received. JESSE MERCER, Chairman Com. THO’S STOCKS, Sec'y. pro, iem. County-Line, October 15,1832. 3 P. S.
