    R E M A R K S ON DR ABERCROMBIE’S SUGGESTIONS ON THE CHARACTERS AND TREATMENT OF THE MALIGNANT CHOLERA. BY A YOUNG PHYSICIAN. Most medical men seem to me to be very like unskilful pilots, whose errors escape detection while the sea is calm and the wind favourable, but when the storm and tempest overtake them, wreck and ruin ensue, and instantly their ignorance is made manifest to all; so, in ordinary seasons, when the prevalent diseases are generally so slight that the patients recover in spite of bad treat¬ ment, the obsequious herd of knavish practitioners win the confidence of the deluded public, but should a pestilence arise, then their craft and their incompetence become fatally conspicuous, and their well earned punishment is at hand.
