The Medical Society of London, have resolved to give an honorary Gold Medal to the Author of the best Dissertation on fevers.

Gentlemen who become candidates are desired to attend to the following regulations.

Dissertations on this subject are to be delivered to the Secretary in Crane Court, on or before the third Tuesday of April, 1775, written in a fair hand, and in the English or Latin language, and along with each a packet (sealed up) containing the name of the Author, and his place of residence, some motto or device being written on the outside of the packet, and at the beginning or end of the Dissertation.

It is resolved that the medal shall be publickly adjudged on the fifth day of June, 1775, after which all the papers, excepting that which obtains the honorary reward, shall be returned with the packets unopened, so that all the names excepting that of the successful candidate shall be concealed.
