    \ TO THE OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF THE QUEBEC MEDICAL SOCIETY, AND OF THE SOCIETY Ofe S IEXCES AND ARTS IN CANADA. Fellow-Citizens a.\d Fellow-Members, The zeal and wisdom you have hitherto evinced in pla- cing the Institutions you represent upon a footing so respect- able, give you a lasting claim to the gratitude of all our coun- trymen. The flattering recompense you have held out, and so impartially distributed to successful attempts in the culti- vation of scientific and useful pursuits, bids the fairest pros- pects to improvements that will be a proud monument of your perseverance and philanthropy. Your generosity has prompted you, in many instances, to notice my feeble con- tributions to the organization of the establishments under your care, yet I feel pleasure in bearing public testimony to your exertions, and confessing that your most important labours have been achieved since my short absence from you. With grateful acknowledgments for many past favours, I have presumed to solicit you to extend your kindness to this production, and accept its dedication as the only becoming tri- bute I can offer of those sentiments of gratitude and esteem with which I have the honor to remain, with great respect, Your most humble and devoted Fellow-citizen and Fellow-member, XAVIER TESSIER.
