MARGATE PUBLIC MRETING, MONDAY, SITIKKOZZ 9. . This day, al two o'clock. a numerous company of Ladies and Gentlemen assemblsd at the Great Room of the Royal noel, pursuant to adjournment on Mondsy last, to consider the Rerrt of a Com mittee who had examined the cases 4f ocrofals. &c. treated ■oder the new remedies of Mr. Charles Whitlaw: PETgit Moons. Er Cit. lOW for the purpose or proposing that Mr. Strickland, who was • visitor at Margot_,_ should take the Chair. Mr. MITIORD seconded the proposition. Mr. 'LIDDY thought it would be proper that an individual should be in the Chair who was entirely unconnected with any party or any individual. He therefore named the Rev. Mr. Bayley. DORVILL seconded the motion. Mr. RICIIMIL objected to Mr. Strickland taking the Cbair, because he understood that gentlemen bad a friend under Mr. Whitlow's treatment. He was therefore a friend to Mr. Whitlaw. A lung discussion took place on this point, when at length the question was put to a strew of hands, but the numbers appeared so equally divided, that it was impossible to say which had the majority.— The Meeting then divided—those who were fur Mr. Bayley taking one side of the room, and Mr. Strick land's friends the other; but the difficulty of the decision was as great as ever. It was then proposed to appoint tellers, but to save the time of the Meet. ing Mr. Strickland requested that his name might be withdrawn. The Rev. Mr. BATLEY accordingly took the Chair, and having stated the object of the former Meeting on Moodily last, namely, to receive the Report of the Committee, which was adjourned to this day, he then desired the Report might be read to the present Meeting. Mr. MITFORD accordingly read the Report. Mr. STEVENS then rose to address the meeting. He begged to assure 11:e Chairman that it had been his individual opinion, which he had expressed to the Committee, that he (Mr. Bayley) should be invited to take the Chair. Who could they more desire to see placed in that situation on this occasion than a minister of that religion, the divine Founder of which went about doing good ? Without offence then to Mr. Strickland, he must say he was glad to see him (Mr. Bayley) in that Chair, and be trusted that Ina clinical education and correct feeling would not suffer any thing ungentlemanly or indelicate to be obtruded on the Meeting, if there were any per sons weak and wicked enough to attempt it. It bud never been usual, he believed, where persona met together for chaiiinble and benevolent purpoaes, to have parties made against it; yet such had been the case here. The present assembly probably consisted of three classes of persons; naturally there would be some friends of Mr. Whitlaw ; there was the Committee, and there were those who had received benefit from Mr. Whitlow's re medics. Ile knew that such were there, for he had himself heard them state their intentions. " What !" said they, " shall we sit idle at home when Mr. IVliitlaw's merits are in question ? No, we will go to the Meeting, and declare that we hsce ourselves received benefit from them, and are living proofs of their efficacy."—(Applause.)—Another class of persons were also there. He would not willingly suppose that there was ally person of the medical profession, who would make a party to oppose au institution for the benefit of mankind. Ile was sorry that any thing so much like it should appear-- The CUAIRIIAW here interposed, and requested the speaker to abstain from imputing iiiipsoper motives; their opposition slight be sincere. Mr.,ST•vsms resumed. The third party who were there were the benevolent British imblic,who wtrerver ready in the cause of charity, and who come to hear the language of plain common sense, advocate that cause from which they would not be turned by sophistry or eloquence. On the part of the Coin tnittee he would stale. that they came there to shrink from nothing; all they wanted was fair and candid dealing. It had been insinuated, that it was their intention to have smuggled the question through the town of Margate, but they declared, upon their honours, that they had no such intention. At first it was merely inteuded to be a social meet tug, sod it was at the suggestion, Ise had almost said the imprudent suggestion, of os,e individual, that the meeting was ultimately a public one. This explanution would, he trusted, free the Committee from the imputation of wishing to carry any thing by surprise. The meeting did take place, and some gentlemen came forward and wished it to be ad journed, which accordingly it was to this day. The Report, which the meeting had heard rend. ►tated. that two public inciting. had been held in London, at the second of which it was stated, that 87 , patients hod been received and introduced to the notice of the Committee, not that they were all that were then under Mr. Whitlusea treatment (they must talk of thouaa9cle instead of hundreds if that were the ca.e). it was only those that the Commiltee had carefully inquired, ioto. [Mr. . , Stevens here read en extract from the Rules and orders ; the 9th, 10th, end ifith, ordered that • register should be kept of the cases, with fell pars neuters—that the asylum should be open to the in , spection of medical men—and that as Mr. Whitlow had offeaed to instruct any number of medical prac titioners in the use of his remedies, and in hie modes or treatment, *inch medical practitioners should be recommended by the Committee.] Such was the Report they were now called upon to approve, and he quite agreed that the Committee must stand or fall by the efficacy of Mr. Whitlaw's remedies. They believed that his remedies and modes of treat ment were superior to those heretofore seed and practised, and if they were not superior, they asked not for the support of the meeting. In order to bring -the question regularly before the meeting, he had framed • resolution in *Nell he had endea voured to avoid any strong expression, so that even medical men would not be committed by it, and this he had done for the purpose of conciliating those, if any there were, who herd come with hostile feelings. He respectfully entreated the meeting to attend to the facts which he should lay before them, and begged them to discharge every hostile feeling, and declare, after he had read the cams, whether they could lay their hands upon their hearts, and lift up a finger against that Institution which was be ; fore them that day. Of all subjects, any thing connected with medical judgment was the most dif ficult to decide ; it would be impossible therefore for the meeting to enter i n t o a m i nute examination ofindividual cases, but that which, in his opinion, ought to satisfy the meeting would be afforded. A gentleman, named Rennie, had published a pamphlet, in which some cases of alleged failure were considered. Answers would be given to all those cases except one, and that one they should refrain from noticing (as being improper to bring before a mixed assembly) ; but who 'would bring it forward ? There was also another reason for not alluding to it there, it had already been brought before a tribunal in that town, and would be brought before a superior tribunal as soon as the Courts were open. Therefore, whatever might be said on that case by others, no notice would be taken of it on the part of the Committee. He would state what the grounds were on which the meeting and the public were called upon to aid this benevolent Institution. They hod the Report of a Committee of twenty gentlemen ; of their re spectability he need say nothing, foe even Mr. Rennie, though not disposed to favourable judg ments, in his pamphlet acknowledged it was both numerous and respectable. The meeting had the Report of these Gentlemen, and in it they say they had investigated 331 cubes, and at a subsequent period they had investigated 87 cases. Now, per sons might be respectable and might not be judi cious —(Hear, hear)—but the meeting would find that this Committee were both ; for hearing that doubts had been expressed, they took the opportu. nity of examining these 87 cesea, excluding Mr. Whitlaw entirely from all interference. The very first case was a dreadful one, of which 20 medical tri.‘n had previously had the management, and was brought to Mr. Whitlow only because they could not help it. No public business could be carried on with out confidence, and the Report of this Committee was fully voided to the utmost confidence of the meeting. The cares most be true, or the Commit. tee were not honest men. Ile (Mr. Stu yetis) did not know all the Gentlemen composing that Com mittee, but there was one he did know, who was the °igen of a great public charity, whose un- I wearied philanthropy and extrusive knowledge of business lie was well acquainted with. He alone was sufficient to satisfy his (Mr. Stevens's) mind. The observation had been made, that gentle. men might he honest, but they were not me dical men. But did any one before ever hear of a benevolent Institution, consisting of only one clam of persons ? But the Committee had • physician of the Royal College of Physicians, and a surgeon of the Royal College of Surgeons, belonging to their body, and these two gentlemen stood on as high ground in point of character as any ode r members of the profession. Under these circumstances, there was not an iota of weight in the objection that the Committee were not all medical men. If they saw • patient come in with sunken eye, a pallid couple 'since, and emaciated frame, at the end of too months depart with health restored, could not a Mali of common sense discover that without the aid I of the College of Physicians ? But they had the aid of • regularly-educated physicists (Dr. Pid dock), and would any man pretend to say that the moment he shook hinds with Mr. Whitlow lie lost all his ; unit that from that moment all memory of Galen and Hippocrates had slipped out of his head ? Every man in the Committee tells the meeting, that what they have said is tree, and the meeting must believe that. or that they intentionally deceived them.— (Hear, hear, hear.) — He derived soother argument in favour of the In. &Mutton, front the harmlessness of the medicines in any case; even at the supposition of Mr. Whitlaw'a enemies, that they hart done no good, they had not dune, nor can they do. any injury. He should be glad to know if the public would nut have reason to be satisfied, if ell the medicines used, and treatment followed in other places, had been equally hermless.—(Bunts of laughter.)— If there was a chance of benefit to these dreadful maladies. the rneetino ought to be satisfied that there was something deleterioos before they say these medicines ought Not to be administered ; but in all the cases; the general health had been im proved. Su far from acting injuriously, the health was benefited, whether the disorder *se cured or nut. It was a very important point, when a man cured some, benefited many, and injured none, to claim the support of this meeting soil every person in it. It was one of the grounds on which Mr. Whitlow was entitled to Mimics that he had consented such an Institution should be estahlialted. He had con seuted, and challenged the whose profession, man for man, amid case len case, to take up this disorder with hien. Mr. !Lennie, in his pamphlet, co.nparts Mr. Whitlow with Dr. Bossy sod Dr. Salomon, sod we had all heard of Velno, Brodum, and others but did any of these men ever think of establi.hing a public institution for the use of their medicine., sod to instruct medical men in the mode of admi nistering them ? Mr. Whitlaw must he an abso lute madman to have acted as he hail done unless satisfied of the efficacy of his remedies; hie conduct proved, that should his medicines not prove t cious, at least his intentions were pure sod honest. It was well known what great fortunes we're often made by the venders of quack medicines. Would lie not, if his intentions were to get a fortune, have followed their plan ? But he had done no such thing, and therefore stood on higher ground. Whitlow was u man of science, although not edu. cited classically— Mr.JAsvis raid across the table. that Mr. Whit low, in his pamphlet, said he had been classically educated. Mr. STIIVENII ',lid, he begged Mr. Wh'llaw's pardon. Mr. Whitlow was not a person who was in want of a character, or who had none to lose ; he came among them with a character already este. blivhed, and he (Mr. Stevens) felt he should nut be out of order if he read to them some testimonials to his excellence in botanical science. [Mr. Stevens here read the thanks to Mr. Whir 1-eve of a Botanical Society at Philadelphia, dated 14!ii June, 1917, also a letter doted rtild April, 018, from the President of the College of South Carolina ; also a letter signed by three Reverend Gentlemen. The whole of these documents spoke in terms highly favourable of the talents and eh.- meter of Mr. Whitlow.] The conclusion he (Mr. Stevens) drew from them was, that Mr. Whitlow had not conducted himself in America like on impostor, or he would never have procured such testimonials. Whatever questions might be raised as to the character of o•rTrans-Atlantic brethren ea other points, no one ever accused them of want of discrimination. Another argument io favour of this lostitotion was the great and increasing preva lence of those disorders which Mr. Whitlaw professed to cure; that they were increasing any man might be convinced who looked round in the circle of his own family and friends, in which he could scarcely fail to see a sufferer. How did this happen ? Not for want of medical men, but for want of remedies. If, therefore, there was the smallest chance of relief from these of Mr. Whit law, he envied not the man who could stand for ward to prevent them being tried. An objection had been taken because Mr. Whitlaw kept the re• medy secret. But was that an objection in the month of medical men, whose whole art was en veloped in mystery ? Let it not be imagined that be meant to make any reflection on the medical character ; the dearest friend he ever had was of that profession, but he was not • man who would have formed a party or intrigued, for the purpose of opposing any thing for the benefit of mankind ; but that secret was now going to be di. vulged by Mr. Rennie, for so he had promised. Mr. Whitlaw might have communicated it to him in other times, and they might be assured he would not feel any restraint in making public. He would come now to those cases in which Mr. Whitlow is said to have failed—these the Committee only knew from Mr. Rennie's pans. phlet, the last pip of which stated the case of a lady, " the wife of a most respectable and ►ighly exemplary tradesman, of sincerely religious princi. plea," and it is stated that an operation might have been performed, had not the time been vowed in trying Mr. Whitlaseo remedies. He (Mr. Stevens) had that day seen a member or that religions fa mily, who told him that Mr. Whitlow had not pre vented en operation, because twelve month, before an operation had been performed by Sir A. Cooper. She was not cured. but again went to Sir Astley Cooper and Mr. Abernethy, and afterwards was sent back to the country still uncured, and then it was she came under the care of Mr. Whitlow. He (Mr. Stevens) stated this case for the public to ap preciate the value of Mr. Hermit's assertions, but let nut the meeting think that he meant to take one case only, he left all the rest, and when a proper time crime, his friend, Dr. Piddock, would answer them all. The meeting would have an opportu nity this day to give their aid to sn institution al ready formed, not with a view to put money auto the pocket of any individual, but to afford relief to the afflicted and necessitous poor. Mr. Stevens concluded by snowing—. Tbat the Report whlcb baa been sew read, amply jail tides Ibis swain io the reconamenristioo of the proposed @Wows se the patronage of the benevolent issiblic•" The Rev. Mr. 11'HITIY said, that relying nn the integrity and common sense of the Committee s be begged to second the Resolution. Mr. Jams wad he klt obliged to come forward this day, as he was the immediate occasion on the last meeting of the Repoli being printed. Mr. Jarvis then read from a paper a speech of which the following is the brief outline, cautiously appris ing the meeting when he uttered soy thing which was not in his paper. He said he wu 'melons io promote the welfare of the community, and equally disposed to uphold merit and detect imposition. If it were true that there were remedies for cancer and scrofula, who would be found to oppose them ?
