Of the Boston Thomsonian Manual, and Am Much Pleased with the Idea of Devoting a Portion of My Time to the Perusal of Such a Work, Conducted under the Eye of Him Who Is the Founder of That Glorious System of Practice Which Has Wiped Away the Tear of Sorrow Amidst the Threatenings of Disease, and the Direful Effects of the Mineral Practice, To the Publisher of a Certain Paper Who Asks Us to "Insert His Prospectus, and Have the Favor Reciprocated, or Send Our Bill;" We Reply, We Will Publish His Prospectus, with Pleasure, When He Gives Us Satisfactory Proof That It Will Cease to Be Filled with Personal Abuse of Ourself, Our Friends and the Cause Which We Advocate, We Could but Feel Thankful to a Kind Providence, on a Recent Occasion, That the Man Thomson Ever Discovered His System of Medicine, While We Beheld the Blessed Effects That His Remedies Produced upon One of Our Little Ones, in a Case of Croup and Excessive Vomiting; They Acted like a "Charm," and the Disease Was Destroyed in so Short a Time That the Circumstance Could Not but Awaken Feelings of Gratitude in Our Breast, The Last Number of the Thomsonian Contains a Specimen of the Old-Fashioned, George Le Row Slang, Which Used to Characterize, or Rather Disgrace Its Columns, Thomsonian Principles, The Editor of the Lobelia Advocate Says He Has Not Received Dr. Thomson's Likeness, We Hope the Thomsonian Ladies Will Now and Then Favor Us with a Communication Touching Their Experience, or Detailing Some of the Cures Which They Have Performed, Debate on Thomsonism, Thomsonian Principles and Practice, Special Items, Dr. Thomson's Reports of Cases No. IX, Medical Theories, Experiment of Dr. Hunter, Dear Friend,—Enclosed You Will Find Five Dollars, Dr. J.
