Medical Students may now find a large and important field of unefuluose in the various hospital of this city. The proper care of the numerous sick and wounded requires an additional number of attendants to perform the services for which students of medicine are especially qualified — such as dressing wounds, putting up prescriptions, and otherwise carrying into effect the treatment directed by the attending surgeons. In another column of our paper will be found an advertisement stating the want of one of our hospital in this respect, and we have no doubt that similar want are jolt with equal force elsewhere. It appears to us that there could be no school more profitable to the student than the discharge of the duties above indicated; and the satisfaction of rendering an important service to the country, in contributing to the relief of our suffering soldiers, constitutes of itself a sufficient inducement to volunteer in this capacity. Many young physicians, also, who are not actively engaged at home, light find in our hospitals most useful employment for their professional skill.
