Editors,—Gentlemen: I Have, for Some Time past, Been Aware of a Trick or Imposition on the Public, Concocted, I Except, in the First Instance, by Quacks, (for so I Consider the Old School Practitoners), Which I Have Not, If I Recollect Aright, Seen Noticed in the Manual, Messrs. Editors,—Gentlemen: My Sole Object in My Former Communications in Your Manual, Was to Give Such as Were Right-Holders a Bird's-Eye View of General Treatment of Disease; and to Induce Those Who Have Here Tofore Thought the Thomson Practice Useless, Except in Cases of " Rheumatism and Slight Colds," to Examine the Facts, and Drop Their Unreasonable and Unsupported Opinions, Hydrophobia.
