Quite a little excitement has just been produced by the appointment of Prof. Schweiniger as " Director of the section of skin diseases at the Royal Charité" He is Prince Bismarck's "Leibarzt," and on account of services rendered the Prince, the departments of Dermatology and Syphilis, previously held by Prof. Levin, have been separated.
