 Phytician to the Montreal General Ifo.y,i(a!, and Lecturer on the Institutes of Medicine, University of McGill College. 
 I certify that Dr. Robert Pai.meh Howard studied under my superintendenc; for three years at the University of McGill 
 College, durmg which t.mo ho was remarkable for great diligence and zeal in the pursuit of knowledge, and for uniform 
 propriety of conduct. He acted for sometime as my Clinical Clerk, and had thus ample opportunities of improvement of 
 which he availed himself with unusual assiduity, and thus acquired a knowledge of disease but seldom attained by one of 
 his standing in the profession.

 Dr. Robert P. Howard has been w. U known to me for the last four years, during which period he has been engaged in 
 the study of Medicine. 
 
 Circumstances have afforded me an opportunity of giving him this Testimonial with more than common propriety.

 I waj^ most fully safi fied with the ability, fidelity, and humanity, with which he performed the duties of that important 
 
 trust. I can, with perfect truth, assert that I have seldom boon acqu.iiuted with any young man, of whose character, and 
 
 professional acquirements, I entertain a more favourable opinion ; and I have irreat pleasure in recommending him, as 
 
 qualified to practise his profession with honor to himself, and advantage to those by whom he is employed.

 pital during the summer of 1847, and attended my Lectures in the McGill College during the S(j8sion, 1847-48. 
 
 At the Lectures and Examinations Dr. Howard attended regularly, and his appearances at the latter were highly satisfac- 
 tory .iiid such as convinced me ihat he was !Uteiilive to his .studies in private, la the Hospital, Dr. Howard's (conduct gave 
 me every satisfaction ; he was obliging and gentlemanly in his deportment, attentive to anything entrusted to hits care, 
 and evinced good judgment when called ujwn to act for himself. From all tliat I know of liitn, I am impressed with 
 a very favourable opinion of his abilities and medical acquirements, and shall feel disappointed if he does not become a suc- 
 cessful practitioner.

 From the opportunities which I had of meeting Dr. Howard, when in attendance upon the Dublin Hospitals, in the win- 
 ter of 1848-49, I am enabled to add my testimony to that of his many friends as to his professional acquirements, which are 
 of a very high order. He is in my opinion eminently .pialified to discharge the duties of the Hospital appointment which he 
 seeks, and will I am sure prove a valuable officer.
