Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Pulmonary Consumption, Its Prevention and Remedy From medical journals our reception has been all that we had a right to expect. Roused by a simultaneous impulse, in hostility against quacks and quackery, we had reason to fear that this zeal might, in some cases, have levelled a javelin at us, and included us in its condemnation. This, however, has not been the case; and, once for all, they may be assured not one Of their conclave holds empirics in greater abhorrence than we do and we have too Often expressed this opinion to leave any doubt as to the validity of our sentiments on the subject. I. North OF england medical and surgical journal, No. 11, November, 1830, p. 258: Dr. W Of Leeds, groups toge ther Hydrophobia and Pulmonary Consumption, in one article. It is extraordinary that the editor waives all critical notices or remarks whatever; excuses himself from the task by saying, that we want. The necessary qualifications because the action of remedies requires the habits of a practical medical man, &c. We fear this Odd sort of apology must be held as every way unsatisfactory by the readers of that ably conducted and otherwise excellent journal and we can assure Dr. W that the utmost dissatisfaction has been expressed by medical gentlemen to ourselves on this very point. That: we are not a regular combatant in this untrophied warfare, but ai volunteer, is no apology whatever, and will not be accepted. We shall be glad to see some reasons put on record' by this able and excellent individual: in reference to the present Edition, a sum mary dismissal like this will impugn the conduct of those who. Have given their opinion and weighed the evidence. That talented phy sicinn, Dr. Hastings, Of Worcester, has acted a very different part. In another part of the volume we have considered his cases, and feel indebted for his noble and manly conduct.
