He held in suooMSion the offices of Dresser and non-rcsidont Clerk in my department of the Hospital, where I should have been happy to have had him also in thie position of Resident Surgeon, if circumstances had permitted me to do so. Such being the case, it is needless for me to express my opinion more particularly ; and 1 therefore will merely add that I feel quite sure Dr. Montizambert will always prove deserving of his pltients' Confidence, whether in a public or private capacity. JAMES SYME, J^ro/essor of Clinical Surgert/, i TEST^MoklALs. 3, Hope Street, Charlotte Square, Edinburgh, 2ard March, 1865. I have been iotiiuately acquainted with Dr. Montizambert, during the whole time of his attendance at the University of Edinburgh as a Student of Medicine ; and I have, therefore, much pleasure in adding my testimony to his high professional abilities, and many other excellent qualities. Dr. Montizambert possesses peculiar powers of mastering the prncticc nnd theory of the profession ; and consequently ho has distinguished hiiusulf in all his professional examinations at the University and Royal C'»»l!('gc of Surgeons. Dr. Montizambert has enjoyed the high |irivilego of acting as Dresser and non-resident Clerk in the Clinical Surgical wards of Uie Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh ; and he performed the duties of those ojfficcs in a manner which received the most favorable notice from Professor Syme. In my opinion, Dr. Montizambert is peculiarly fitted for holding tho office of Surgeon to an Hospital ; and I am quite sure that his appoint- ment to the Sui^ical charge of any Hospital will be most advantageous to the Institution, and of the greatest bonefic to those who may bo entrusted to his professional care.

Having the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with Dr. F. Montiz- ambert, and having had the advantage of his assistance in more than one case of Ovariotomy, and in a long attendance during the convalescenco of a lady after a capital operation, 1 can speak with a full opportunity having been afforded mo of forming an estimate of his character and professional ability, and I can, with great confidence express my opinion, that tho honors which ho gained as a student in Edinburgh are likely to Lo followed by a career of w;ell-merited success in the practice of his profession. fc m^^ "I \ i •--■^1 ■it i TESTI;!lO'^TAL8. t Tho ability and industry which distiaguished him an a student will, I feel sure, continue to characterize him in after life, and will be exerted in the cause of humanity in such a manner as will greatly benefit any patients who are entrusted to his oarc, and will maintain and enhance the reputa- tion of any Hospita) vfh\^\^ inay be fortunate enough to jbtain his services.

My Dear Sir, I have a lively recollection of your position as a pupil at my class in the University here. You not only took honors in my class, but you showed, also, that you had studied your profession in all its branches, and not in one direction only, by tho good position which you took in the professional examination. I have no doubt, therefore, that you will do us credit in Canada ; and I should bo glad to learn that you obtained an appointment to an Hospital aa a means for your advancement and, I have no doubt, for its interests. Yours sincerely, LYON PLAYFAIR. {JProfeMor of ChemUtri/, University of Edinburgh.") Dr. Montizambert, Quebec. ■ 29, Charlotte Square, Edinburgh, 18th March, 1865. It affords me great pleasure to express my conviction that Dr. Fred- erick Montizambert, L. R. C. S., is, both by nature and from his ex- tended professional education, most excellently qualified to occupy with credit and success, any hospital appointment to which he aspires. I knew him from an early period of his professional studies in this eity, and can tcstifiy to the great energy and assiduity with which he applied f TfiSTIMONIALS. bimaoir to tho acaaircmcQt of knoirledgc, and thfi marked superiority ho maoirestcd over his fellows, both in hi^ power of conccDtrating his oiind and attention to tho matter vith which ho was ocoupied, and also the suc< C088 with which ho niaintatncd that applicutiou to the very end. His progress hero wa^ a marked one, exhibiting the good effects of thorough early training in enabling him to take honors in nearly every subject of his professional cnrriculum. I know that there was but one opinion held here of Dr. Montizambert, that ho was an honor to any sohool witli which he was connected, as an cx:.unplo of a thorough good student, and ns certain not only to succeed in his profession, but to maintain ond extend its reputation by his character, professional attainments and zeal. PATi^l.lCK HERON WATSON, P. R. G. o. fi. My Peab Sir, University of Edinburqh, Edinburgh, 29th Maix;h, 1865. I am glad to learn that you propose offering yourself ns candidate for an hospital appointment, and I hope that you will bo successful, bc- cauao 1 am sure that you only want a good field for the exercise of your professional talents and acquirements to show what they are. I most gladly comply with your request for a testimonial. As a student at the University you wore characterized by the regularity of your attendance, your devotion to the work of your classes and your desire to acquire ItnQwledge. That you worked at your studies to good purpose was shewn by the very excellent appeaiopce you made at your examinations ibr the D^ree, and the honors wnich you carried off in sev- eral of your classes. You have had special opportunities of blooming praotically acquainted with your profession in the ^o.8pUal here, and you have made good use of them.

You were ono of our most distioguisbod students in the medical scbool of the University of Edinburgh, and while here you were appointed to offices which afford invaluable opportunities to the student of acouiring that practical knowledge which can alone render him a successful physician, and which arc conferred upon pupils of merit only. If to this it bo added that you dis^inguished yourself ut your final examinations and carried off honors in important classes in the University, I believe enough will have been said to show that you have very strong claims to be appointed to the office for which you arc a candidate.

Dr. FbederIck Montizambert is well known to me as a highly educated and in every respect fully qualified medical man. During his studies at the University, Dr. Montiza3IB£rt was distinguished by his diligence and success. I am glad to be able to express the opinion that Dr. Montizambert's claims for an hospital appointment are of a very decided character ; and it will afford many of his friends in Edinburgh sincere pleasure to hear of his having secured the position which he presently seeks.

MoNTiZAMBERT has been well known to mc during the whole period of his student life in Edinburgh. He was noted in the Anatomical Rooms of the University as an extremely co.rcful and dexterous dissector. He passed his graduation examination in Anatomy, Chemistry, Physiology, Botany and Natural History with distinguished honor, his papers bemg the best of his term. His more practical studies were no less successful, and he specially availed himself of the very great advantage which he enjoyed of being both Dresser and afterwards non-resident Clerk in Pro- fessor Syme's wards. From all that I know of Dr, Montizambert's stu- dies, character and attainments, I believe most sincerely that his appoint- ment to the office which he desires would be most thoroughly satisfactory to all interested in the Hospital. JOSEPH BELL, F.R.C.S.E., Lecturer on Surgery, Assistant Surgeon Clinical Wards, Royal Infirmary, Assistant Surgeon Edinburgh Eye Infirmary, late Demonstrator of Anatomy in the University of Edinburgh. Edinburgh, 23d April, 1865. t have the greatest pleasure in testifying to the qualifications of Dr. Montizambert for the office of Physician or Surgeon to an Hospital. He distinguished himself greatly in his studies h3re. He took class honors in Chemistry, Midwifery and Surgery, and was the only one who passed with honors in one of his examinations for the degree of M. D. He had ample opportunity of studying practically in the Infirmary of Edinburgh, and I can personally testify that he took advantage of it. As Dresser and Cli- nical Clerk in Mr. Syiue'a wards he performed his duties most thoroughly ; and on this of course I, as having been House Surgeon there at the time, can and do most strongly speak. I have not the slightest doubt that he will discharge his duties in any Hospital most ably and efficiently.

Having known Dr. Montizambert intimately for several years, I have great pleasure in strongly recommending him for the appointment to which ho aspires, feeling assured that the duties connected with it will he discharged with credit to himself, with satisfaction to his patrons, and with lasting benefit to his patients. Dr. Montizambert was distinguished at Edinburgh, not more for bis intcUootual powers than for his assiduity and perseverance. He obtained lionors in Surgery, Chemistry and Midwifery, and is one of the very low whose written examination f ipers were so excellent as to induce tlie Scnatus to forego a further oral examination, than which no higher coi i- plimcnt can be paid to the proficiency of the student. While Dr. Montizambert was thus eminent in theloarning and thcoi-y of his profession, he did not neglect to test the value of his knowledge by practice and observation. He acted under me as Dres.ser, and subsequently :is Chiet Assistant, while I officiated as Hesident Surgeon to the Clinical Surgical wards of the Royal Infirmary of Ediuburgb. I ibund him at all time§ intelligent, amiable and obliging; and his attentions to the patients were such, that I had no hesitation, when called upoA.to attend to out- door duties, to leave him in full charge of the wards. On such occasions his conduct elicited my entire approval, as it earned the gratitude of those entrusted to his care. In addition to a very successful University career and considerable experience as an Hospital Surgeon, Dr. Montizambert has the manner r.odl bearing of a perfect gentleman— qualities of gieat importance in public institutions, deriving lustre not more from the liberality of their founders than from the eminence of their officers. I heartily wish him success, both for his own sake, and for the sake of the Hospital with which he seeks to become identified. JAMES B.
