—There is no class more disposed to emigrate as colonists than medical men with families; and they make, generally, very good settlers. I fancy that an advertisement like what follows would be apt to enlist many of this class; perhaps many more than the Association would be able to employ as Surgeon Superintendents.

"To Medical Men disposed to emigrate as colonists. Notice is hereby given, that in the selection of Surgeons Superintendent of their emigrant ships, the Canterbury Association intends to give a preference to gentlemen who, page 231being properly qualified professionally, shall intend to settle with their families as colonists in Canterbury settlement. By order of the Committee of Management.

"Date."

I have thought much on this suggestion, and feel sure that it would be very useful.

P.S.—The advertisement should appear in the Medical Journals as well as ordinary newspapers.
