LETTER FROM MUNICH.

This article focuses on the medical studies in Munich. It was situated near the Sendlinger Gate of the old walled city. This gate still stands and is only a short distance along the Lindwurm-strasse from the present building. Josef Lindwurm became Professor of Dermatology and Syphilology in 1859. The large building of the " Hautklinik " consists of an outpatient department with laboratories, consulting rooms and a fine library. In order to explain the teaching of dermatology in Munich it is necessary to consider the general plan of undergraduate teaching in medicine. The medical student is taught in an academic atmosphere and the main bulk of teaching consists of lectures.
