The Editors advise A. C-r' to persevere in the Harrowgate water and citrine ointment, and to employ almond powder instead of soap. He may also take two table-spoonsful of the following mixture twice a day. Take of decoction of bark, 6 ounces; dilute sulphuric acid, I drachm.-Mix.

"E. Smith' will probably receive benefit from the external use of the bitter almond emulsion. He may take 5 grains of the blue pill every other night for a fortnight. The complaint is local..

To J. S.' the Editors recommend the infusion of buchu leaves, or pills of the extract. They refer him to the Addition to the Appendix.

If Afflictus' had adopted laced stockings after the ulcers were healed, they would not have broken out again. The Editors advise him to apply a poultice of linseed powder and oatmeal, and to avoid exercise. When they are clean and free from pain, he may dress them with the following ointment:-Take of acetate of copper, 10 grains; calomel, 30 grains; spermaceti cerate, 1 ounce.-Mix. He may also take five grains of the blue pill every other night for a fortnight.

'Amicus' will find an account of the preparation of bark in the present Number. It is not an alcali. The Editors will notice the book to which he alludes in their next Number, and give an article on Dress, agreeably to his request.

Z. Z. Z.' would do right to substitute the Harrowgate salt for the colocynth pill. The swelling" being evidently a rupture, they advise him to make use of Salmon's patent truss. He may also take two tea-spoonsful of the tincture of buchu leaves, in a glass of water, every night, to prevent a recurrence of the complaint.

To Mr. Crucifix,' the Editors return their thanks, for his very polite letter. As he is disposed to be communicative, he will, no doubt, acquaint the Editors with the terms on which he undertakes to cure servants, and, as it will give him very little additional trouble, they will also thank him to favour them with the number of his radical cures, and the names of those who had previously been under the care of Messrs. Cline and Pearson. They have pleasure in informing him, that the College of Surgeons intend to notice his superior skill and moderate charges.

The Editors having been informed, by Mr. Cobb, the treasurer of Curtis's Royal Ear Dispensary, that a General Meeting of the Governors will be shortly held, for the purpose of examining the accounts, and of ascertaining the number of real cures that have been effected, under the directions of Dr. Sims, accoucheur-aurist, and his nephew, the surgeon-aurist, the Editors have postponed their promised notice of this most useful institution till the Report of the Governors appears.

'Mr. Whitlaw' is entitled to the thanks of the Editors. The letter from Dublin being anonymous, they should subject themselves to the charge of quackery, if they were to publish it. The Editors will with pleasure attend a real cancerous case with him; and if his mode of treatment should succeed, they will be happy to give it publicity. The Editors, understanding that Mr. Rennie's second pamphlet is in the press, have deferred the analysis of Mr. Whitlaw's medicine till they have read it.

Finis,' of Cheltenham-'S. W. A.' of Ross- G. G. G.' of Bristol-and S. W.' of Waterford-are advised to consult their Third Edition of the Addition to the Appendix.

TO CORRESPONDENTS (continued.)

The prescriptions of Dr. Pearson, Dr. Scudamour, Dr. Babbington, and others, for pulmonary consumption, are intended for the next Number,

Fourth Edition; with Additions on Breeding, Feeding, and Managing Swine,on Milch Cows for the Family Dairy-and on Bees.

"Mr. Moubray's little Book on the Breeding, Rearing, and Fattening, all Kinds of DOMESTIC POULTRY, &c. is unquestionably the most Practical Work on the subject in our language. The Author's aim seems to have been to avoid scientific detail, and to convey his Information in plain and intelligible terms. The convenience of a small poultry yard,--two or three pigs, with a breeding sow, and a cow for milk, cream, butter, and cheese,-in an English country house, appears indispensible. To point out how these may be obtained at a reasonable expense, seems to have been Mr. Moubray's object; and by adopting the plan of his Work, any Family may furnish their table with these luxuries at one third of the price they are obliged to pay at the markets; and the Farmer and Breeder may render it a source of additional profit."
