ceived by a person in high health, and well fed, the inflammatory symptoms have been great in proportion,

The mildness of the season, in other respects, has lessened the severity of the winter asthmas and coughs. The remains of diarrhoea and dysentery continue, but in a chronic form.

Most of the other complaints are inflammatory. In all, excepting pleurisy and other inflammations of the membranes which line cavities, topical bleeding has been universally serviceable. In many, brisk cathar tics have been sufficient. Blistering is never serviceable till the disease has become completely chronic.

Small-pox, and the other contagions, are not particularly prevalent, and for the most part mild.

NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We are sorry the communication from our correspondent in Northumberland arrived too late for this Number. It shall appear in our next. As we are collecting materials for the subject of Contagion, we shall be thankful for his account of the fever in his own neighbourhood.

Mr. WALKER's paper has been under consideration. It appeared too long; but press of temporary matter has prevented our giving it hitherto due consideration.

We can assure a Constant Reader that no want of mutter, nor desire to indulge, induced us to insert the paper to which he refers, and which to us appeared to contain very useful matter. If a C. Reader chuses to make any animadversions with his own name, and with that politeness which has hitherto distinguished our Journal, we shall not fail to admit them.

Other communications of a less temporary nature, which have been deferred on account of our long Analysis, shall appear as early as press of

matter will admit.

In our next, the Analysis of the last Number of the Medico Chirurgical Transactions will be concluded.
