The North German Parliament has paid due regard to thecomplaints of the profession: the obnoxious clause in thelaw relating to the practice of medicine is withdrawn. Theclause runs thus Medical men are obliged, under apenalty, to attend anyone who may request their assistance."The tyrannical tendency of such a law raised the ire of thewhole medical body, who felt that, with the well-knownself-denial, and readiness to fly to the rescue of sufferinghumanity, of which so many proofs have been given bymedical men, the clause was an insult to the profession.

LISLE.- A stained glass window to the memory of thislamented gentleman, subscribed for without solicitation,and, indeed, it may be said spontaneously, by the friendsand grateful patients of the deceased gentleman, is nowbeing placed in the town church, Guernsey,-forming anadditional embellishment to the fine old structure.

design—a most appropriate exemplification of him in whosehonour the window is erected-is intended to illustrate OurLord’s parable of "the Good Samaritan."

The Good Samaritan bearingthe wounded man on his beast to the inn. 3rd. The GoodSamaritan on his departure commending the poor man tothe care of the innkeeper. In the tracing, Our Lord andthe angelic host are represented. The text is: " Va toiaussi, et fais de même." And the inscription at the baseruns as follows :-" Ala gloire de Dieu, et en memoire de DeBeauvoir de Lisle, Docteur en Medecine, ne le 29e Mai, 1806 ;décedé le 27e Septembre, 1868,-ses amis et compatriotesont fait faire ces vitraux."—Guernsey Star.OBITUARY.-A large circle of friends, and the in-
