MEDICAL TITLES.

To the Editor of the Evening Stab

Sir,—ln the Resident Magistrate's Court, on Friday last, I stated on my oath that there was not one physician in Auckland, meaning thereby, as I explained, that there was not one fellow or member of any Royal College of Physicians. I re peat this statement now, and beg to add that if any person can point out to me one medical practitioner in Auckland or its suburbs who can truthfully claim that appellation, and prove that he is registered .?? a member or fellow of any Royal " "^.ofPhysieians in England, Ireland, or Scotland,^ mill, on being enlightened, immediately present the treasurer of the Orphan's Home with the sum of five guineas. In your last issue I notice that Dr Dawson presumes to give me the lie direct, and says that he has the honor to hold a "diploma" from the Eoyal College of Physicians of Edinburgh ; but he omits to state that he has the status and title of a licentiate only ; that is, he holds a license from that College to practise medicine. If he feels honored in that, well and good. It unfortunately happens, however, that the said license was as late as 1859, (to the great scandal of the profession), publicly advertised for sale in the Lancet, and was sent by post, first, for £25, then £15; and lastly, for £10. Inconsequence thereof it is held by hundreds of men who have never even seen the modern Athens. There was no examination of any kind ; no trouble beyond showing that the applicant had some claim on the profession (was an apothecary for in stance) ; had sufficient ready money, and as much interest as would be required to get two duly qualified men to certify that he was a person of good character. As for its being customary in England to style all M.D's physicians, that is utter nonsense ; it would indeed be deplorable if the holders of any and every worthless M.D. degree could rightfully agsume that time-honoured distinction. Surely the public are aware that for years there has been a growing increase in the traffic in diplomas and degrees ; in com mercial language the demand has been brisk and the supply unlimited—that's cheering to know. Bat such irregular proceedings might be easily remedied. If every man who added M.I), to his name, was required also to give the University from which he obtained his title, very many, not only in the colonies, but in the dear old country too, would drop their blushing honours with as much expedition as they would relinquish a red hot poker. As long as the letters are allowed to appear unquestioned a St. Andrew's, an American or a Sydney M.D. is as useful as the best: useful, that is, as a means of deluding and throwing dust in the eyes of the public, or of appending to some such advertising testimonial as this :— " I hereby certify that I have received a dozen of Wolff's Aromatic Shiedam Schnapps (cries of divide), which I have personally submitted to examination. When judiciously mixed with, hot water and lump jugar it forms a compound pleasant to the smell, agreeable to the taste, and warming to the stomach ; from which symptoms, and from my well-known knowledge of chemistry, I judge it to be a spirit of undoubted strength, and perfectly free from any deleterious in gredients. Mixed with. Olson's tomato sauce it forms a preparation of great efficacy, being a certain cure for the fantods and an, excellent purifier of the constitution.—Podophillin Phills, M.D." . As Dr Dawson has deliberately asked for the first part of this letter he will not I hope feel injured or think that I can have any pleasure in wounding the very pardonable pride of Mmself and friends. I assure him that I would rather live in peace and charity with all men, and gladly see less bickerings in the profession, anda total cessation of the oft-repeated cry "that Codlin's the man, not Short." It would be better for us all— surgeons, M.D.'s, and "physicians"—if we strived to show a little more brotherly love one to another, and tried to cultivate not only truth, but those habits, manners, feelings, and dispositions which are so becoming to and characteristic of gentle men. —I am &c, Mask E. B. Nicholson, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, England.

PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

On Saturday evening this theatre was well filled in every part, the lower part of the house in fact being crowded, while the dress-circle was well patronised. The performance com menced with the domestic drama of " The Momentous Question" which was placed on the stage in a most creditable manner. Mrs Rya.i, as the heroine of the piece, was loudly applauded throughout, and not without reason, for we have seldom seen this lady on the stage to more advantage. Miss May, a child of about ten years, took the part of a servant girl, which she played in a style that augurs for her a brilliant future, should she be induced to take to the stage as a profession. Mr. Ryan, in the character of a poacher and ruffian, played his part in a very able manner. The others in the cast, although in minor characters, performed their parts with equal Buccess. Following upon the drama came the dance " L'Armeninne," by Mdme. Therese, and Mons. Schmidt, which " brought down" the house with applause. A farce, the " Swisa Cottage," was then played by the company. The performance concluded with the "Can Can" dance. The same programme will be produced to-night,

The usual monthly meeting of the above Society was held at the Museum buildines this afternoon. Mr J. C. Firth in the chair lhero was a poor attendance of mem bers. The minutos of the previous meetine were read and confirmed. The Secretary stated that on Friday last he heard there nad been gome one shooting rooks on Ponsonby R ead . He had ' adver tised in both morning papers offering Offender. On Monday last he heard from two men that they had seen a third party shoot a rook but they did not know his name. A letter had been received by the,Beoretary from the offending party, whose name is Baker expressing his regret for the deed, and offering to pay £5 for the damage done.-Mr Stannua Jones thought that tho case should Z brought into Court, and prosecuted to th.

utmost extent of the law. He thought no punishment too bad for the offender.— It was agreed that the £5 should be accepted, lhe action of the secretary in the matter was approved of.—lt waa moved by Mr Stannus Jones,—" That the bush turkey now in the gardens should be presented to Sir Q-eorge Grey, along with a number of sparrows, to be released at the Kawau."—This was seconded and carried unanimously.—Numerous letters were read from different aeclamaHzation societies,wishing to. exchange birds, &c, with the Auckland society ; and among other correspondence was a letter stating that some salmon ova would be sent immediately from HobartTown by the Bella Mary.—On the motion of Mr J. C. Firth it was agreed that the Secretary should produco the bank book at each monthly meetiug, and also an abstract of the receipts and expenditure.— The accounts for the previous month were then passed. A. vote of thanks to the Chair man terminated the meeting.
