 Ottawa, January 20th, 1890. 
 
 Dear Doctor, 
 
 At the meeting of the Bathurst and Rideau Division As- 
 sociation, held on the 15 th instant, the following resolutions were car- 
 ried without a dissenting vote : — 
 
 '' Moved by Dr. H. P. Wright, of Ottawa, seconded by Dr. W. J. 
 Anderson, of Smith's Falls, and it is hereby ^ 
 
 Resolved^ — That considering how few honors there are in the gift 
 of the medical profession, and that of a Representative of a territorial 
 division in the Council of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of 
 Ontario being one of the greatest, and considering that the present 
 member has held the position of Representative for the Bathurst and 
 Rideau Division two terms, or nine years in all, it is the opinion of 
 this Association that this distinction should now be given to some other 
 aspiring member of the Division. — Carried." 
 
 " Moved by Dr. J. Sweetland, seconded by Dr. H. Hill, 
 .'\nd Resolved^ That this meeting desires to express its warm appro- 
 bation of the candidature of Dr. A. F. Rogers as Representative in the 
 Council for this division, as we believe he would make a most energetic 
 and progressive meml)er, and further, because the rural portion of the 
 division has had the representation now for ten years, or two terms, and 
 it would be only paying a just compliment to the city members of the 
 division to allow them to choose the Representative on this occasion. — 
 Carried." - 
 
 " I certify that the above is a true copy of resolutions unanimously 
 passed by the Bathurst and Rideau Division Association at the meeting 
 held the 15th January, 1890. 
 
 (Signed) " H. B. Small, M.D. 
 
 "Secretary B. and R. I). Med. Assn." 
 
 These resolutions speak for themselves, and the movers and 
 seconders, while endorsing the sentiments expressed therein, spoke in 
 the kindest terms of the present representative. It is indeed highly 
 gratifying to me to realize that I have the confidence and support of the 
 vast majority of my professional brethren in this division, and if elected

 a member of the Council it shall be my earnest endeavour to promote 
 the well-being of the profession m this Province by requiring every 
 student to take an arts degree in lieu of any other preliminary examina- 
 tion. It must be remembered the B. A. degree can be secured by 
 simply passing the examinations, and without attending a university, so 
 that worthy but poor men need not be precluded from entering the 
 profession in consequence of this requirement. All the medical col- 
 leges in England, Ireland and Scotland only grant the degree of M. D. 
 when the candidate has received the degree of B.A., or passed an 
 examination in arts equivalent thereto, and studied medicine five or 
 more years. By making the standard for the license to practise in 
 Ontario the B.A. degref- and four full years medical study subsequent 
 thereto, the Council will, to some extent, approach that adopted in 
 Great Britain, and it is easy to comprehend that such a course will stop 
 the overcrowding of the profession, and it will, in every sense, be in the 
 true interest of the public. , - ?^ / ,>: 
 
 ■ In Ontario to-day there is one physician to every 800 of the popu- 
 lation, as against one to 1,500 in England. The rapid increase of the 
 physicians in this Province is shown by th fact that only a few years 
 ago the ratio was one medical practitioner to upwards of twelve hun- 
 dred of the people, and the prospect for a still more serious increase is 
 shown by the fact that in Toronto at present there are 600 medical 
 students, besides those in Kingston, London, Ont., and McGill College, 
 making it fair to assume that there are at least 900 men now preparing 
 themselves to enter the practise of medicine in Ontario, while the popu- 
 lation, owing to migration to the North-West, is remaining almost 
 stationary. In soliciting your vote and influence /^ti this election, I 
 do so for the reasons expressed in the resolutions mentioned above, 
 and because if elected to the Council I shall endeavour to inaugurate 
 the reforms I have named, and in every way possible I shall labour in 
 the interest of our profession and in the interest of the members 
 of the Bathurst and Rideau Division. ,...:,
