    Now, wliile I am proud of presenting Prof. Barker's clinical observations to the readers of this journal, I might add some remarks on a few scientific points con- tained in his paper that would permit of a discussion ; for instance, the ci'oup of diphtheria, which the doctor regards as an entirely distinct and specific disease, and the nature and meaning of the neuropathic element in croujD. But the discussion of these points, to which I have alluded in my paper on croup (see this journal for May, 1868), so kindly referred to by Prof. Barker, would not at all influence his important therapeutical observation and its appreciation by the profession.
