OSLER INVITES HOMEOPATHS.-NOTED MEDICAL PROFESSOR WANTS OLD WAR DROPPED.

Baltimore, April 28.-In his farewell address to the medical profession in Maryland before leaving for his post as regius professor in the University of Oxford, Dr. William Osler urged the fusion of medical colleges in this and other cities of the country.

Medicine gave more hope for humanity than anything else, the doctor said, and combination and reciprocity were the great needs. Reciprocity between the state boards also should be extended, so that a doctor's activities should not be limited in moving from state to state.

"It is time," Dr. Osler continued, "that the homeopathic brethren were coming into the fold. A difference in drugs should no longer separate men with the same hope. The original quarrel is ours, but the homeopathics should not allow themselves to be separated by a shibboleth that is inconsistent with their practice to-day."-Daily Paper.
