PROSPECTUS j * OF THE GEORGIA MEDICAL REPORTER. j I •' !•*'> > -BY JOHN G. SLAPPY.M. B. •Whakteeahcuid seek tn the Sciences is truth, and truth, .< „ ~, t.,, is in the facts." —Broussais. IT is now more than six years since I first con ceived the idea of publishing periodically the above work, for the following reasons, winch are ob vious and striking: There being no publication ot the kind in the States and, for ought'l know, throughout the whole Southern States; we are compel ed, con sequently, to look to the North, and through hei to “Xpe, tor every thing new. rare, and iuterest.ng in the science, it would seem If cu ’ ,! *it\ just at the present time, When tlie most awfui 'it tion is hovering over the laud the . m.i i<, . < • ■ It has already swept across a great extent ct Nott America ; t"ou: Montreal and Quebec to New Or k " visiting almost every city and town ot any un . ’ Northern Middle and VV estern States. Kre is left no reasonable, ground to justify the con cl Lion, that our highly favoured section of couu ry, ran much longer escape the impending evil Besides,; have we no disease or modification of disease, inci dent and peculiar to our climate, and remedies native •of our country ? ... r Medicine had its origin: in necessity : in motives of benevolence and philanthropy—in a disposition to initraate »he evils—to ameliorate the condition o: suf fering human nature to bailie fell discase-the greatest curse inflicted on fallen man—and bestow on linn Health, the chicfest blessing, saving the atoning blood of our Saviour. Our much lamented Rush said, while the world, from the progressoi intellectual, moral, arid political truth, is becoming a more safe and agree able abode for man, the votaries of Medicine should not be idle.” The American J.inmeus, the late ven erable Beni. 8. Bartoll said, “he who discovers one valuable new Medicine, is a more important benefac tor of his species than Alexander, Cesar, Bonaparte, or an hundred other conquerors. Even his glory, in the estimation ot a uuly civilized age, will 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 truth, our Medical lore is lurking far behind (comparatively speaking) the active Improvements of the day—the spirit ot the. tunes ad- , tionishiugusto look forward, with an unnvited gaze irion the advance of man and the “march ot mind. Ttiere is medical talent in Georgia, and yet she is al most without professional character; because she has not enterprise, industry and energy. There is mani festly but little written on medicine in our btate; med ical reading too, is not pursued With avidity, less stud ied, properly undeistood and regarded. ] et us turn our attention to tile constant and inde fatigable efforts of many American teacheis; but es pecially to the late works of our own countryman, professor Jackson of Philadelphia. He inculcates principles upon the unerring guide ot geumiic and m- Lictive philosophy. he declaims against authority; and boldly asserts the non-existence of a specific g«s tric juice, .nd advocates other certainties, as impor tant to physiology and truth. . , The recent splendid discoveries of Abercrombie of Scotland of Abernethy, Lawrence, Clutterbuck, j Teale.&C- &c. of England, arc their everlasting mon- ! aments. Germany is likewise moving on But above : a.i, stand the sons of France, and of true medical phi iosophv, Andral Broussais, Baron Larry, J inel Lneu-1 nee and others; these moderns of the moderns, have . wholly uprooted the old and ancient systems ot rou tine, medicine’.—they have sought, however, not so much to overthrow former systems founded tn error, > as they have to discover truth, 3nd the real etiology ot disease. They have not only succeeded m removing the rubbish, but in establishing medicine on a surer and tinner foundation, and giving to it the hue of , m uch onwardto perfection- . . Kt would be uncandid. and it is not to be denied or concealed, that the doctrines of the French school and particularly those ot the deservedly renowned and immortal reformer Broussnw, will be held and maintained in this Gazette. Wo regard them (and thev are universally admitted) as containing!he purest and most substantial ot the great fundamental truths ot physiological medicine. They are founded in data, the dissecting knife has been made to reveal and de veiope. nom pathological anatomy, pr.nciples of a, fixed character. . i- i ' They will be as enduring ns time, and as solid as adamant. 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. We come not-without diffidence, presenting our humble offering, feeble and retired ns it is. to contrib ute our mite nt the altar ot professional science: it we can but give a Zest to the young mind, an inclination and direction to medical inquiry, it is all we hope and expect; it is the “Me plus ultra" of our wishes Some of the best talent of the State is engaged to assiit ..nd to contribute in the work, and we confi dently expect to be able to concentrate and combine such a fund of foreign and domestic intelligence in our journal, as to make it acceptable, if not agreeable almost an} where.

Mercer Institute. ; FBI HE Mercer Institute, for combining study and ' manual labour, will go into operation on the 2d Monday in January next, under the direction ot the 1 Rev. B. 11. B anders. 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 are without —and particularly those who are indi- ' gent —and such are affectionately invited to bring ' their testimonials and avail lliemselves gratuitously of j ' (he advantages of the Institution. But as we have no i ' reason to believe that tins class ot pupils will fill up ; ! the school ; it will receive, in addition, as many young 11 men of good moral character, as can be pro.ided lor, | 1 irrespective of religious sentiments. The (Committee J ( are of opinion that, from the limited state ot its pres- | ent accommodations, they will not be able to receive j ’ more than 30 to board on the premises the first Term ' As fast, ns our triends may find themselves well 1 pleased with the experiment we may make, as to con tribute to our means, we design to enlarge our accom- 1 modations tor 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 w ill be received for less than one yeaF —theyear will be divided into two terms—the first of six months, ' from the 2d Monday in January, to the 2d in July— I the 2d of 5 months, from the 3d Monday iu July, to ; ' (he 3 I Monday in December. > ' BOARD, lor ail over hi years of nge, will be S3O j for the scholastic year, and $6 for washing ; those un- i' der Hi, at 5 per month, having a reasonable deduction j • for their labour —each student furnishing his own bed and candles. For want of funds, board and tuition ! will be required in advance, to be paid to the stew ard. Tuition will be $9 for the first term, to all en- 1 gaged in reading, writing, arithmetic, grammar, ge- I ography and history. All the higher branches of] science and the languages, will be taught tor sls the i first term —the second ih proportion. Each student will be required to labour three hours ' 1 each day, five and a halfdays in the week. The time and kind of labour will be directed by the steward, under the 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 as i possible, and that the principle of economy may be fully carried into every department of the Institution. As our Institution is in its infancy, and in want of ev ery thing, any useful book, to aid in formhig a library, mid liny implement for labour, or any s lit able article . of furniture, that any friend may find it convenient to : contribute, wiil be thankhilly received.

The i time proposed for the continuance of the Encampment is one week A beautiful location has been selected, commanding an extensive view of the town and sur-' rounding country. An arrangement has been made for the construction of comfortable Tents and Mar quees, for the accommodation of as many Companies as may come ; and a contract has been m ide with in dividuals, who will act as sutlers and furnish the men I with good board, on the ground, at seventy-five cents : each per day. On the last day, an Encampment-Me dal will be shot for. The first of this seriesof Encamp ments took place near Macon, last spring, and was at tended with much benefit to the Companies present.
