I have read it with great interest, more especially as it is in the direction of the higher education of physicians. The preponderance of the so-called practical (empirical) in medical literature, which appeals strongly to thetradeelement in the profession, makes such a contribution all the more enjoyable.Very truly yours,Frances Emily White.1427 N.

Philadelphia, Jan. 23, 1884.Dr. T. S. Sozinskey:My Dear Doctor:—I write to thank you for a copy of your interesting and instructive paper on “Medical Symbolism.” In Fergusson, on “Tree and Serpent Worship,” which you quote, you can readily trace the connection between the emblems of religion and medicine. I recognize that, as priest and physician were once the same person, medicine is yet justly termed “the divine art.” It affords me much pleasure to see your studious interest in your profession.Yours truly,Henry H. Smith.
