    speaking, this is a matter to 'wliicli the attention of the medical faculty ought to be immediately directed. We have very few real remedies which can be trusted in the whole range of therapeutics, and cannot, therefore, afford to despise, without thoroughly testing, one for which such great claims arc made. If it is a valuable cure, its value is enhanced a thousandfold by the simplicity with which it can be applied, and the ease with which it can be procured. We have no faith in infallible prescriptions or universal panaceas, but it is quite possible that Dr. Dewar’s investigations may have added one to the scanty remedies which the medical art has been so slow in giving to the world.” EDINBUHGH : T.
