    TO THE GOVERNORS OF THE HULL GENERAL INFIRMARY. My Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen, As senior Physician to your Infirmary, I think it a duty to you and to myself, now to give a full explan- ation of those circumstances which have led to a change in my medical opinions. For the sake of the poor under my care, and as a test of the sincerity and truth of my convictions, I was anxious to continue my office, if arrangements for the Homoeopathic treatment of my patients could be made. Hence, I presented a written request to tlie Chairman of the Infirmary WeeMy Board, that two separate wards, one for female and one for male patients,—■ Homoeopathic medicines and a dispenser,—should be at my disposal and under my own control. Though such arrangement has been denied, I have the satisfaction of reflecting, that the time is surely approaching when none other but the Homoepathic treatment of disease will be tolerated in our public Medical Institutions. This is not the utterance of a vain and specious senti- ment, but the calm conviction of a mind impressed with the force of truth. For in proverbial language,— “ Magna est veritas et prcevalehit.'^
