THE PLAGUE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR—An article on Contagion and Quarantine, by a writer styling himself " An Experienced Physician," ap peared in a recent number of one of the London Medical Pub lications, the object of which seems evidently to have been to excite prejudice against the Bill for the proposed Relaxation of the Quarantine Laws, then in progress through the House of Commons, and which had been introduced by his Majesty's Government, in pursuance of a recommendation of a Committee of that Hon. House. If that article had been suffered to re pose quietly in the pages of the Miscellany which gave room to it, and whose circulation is chiefly limited to medical readers, - it might have passed sub silentio ; for the stale arguments are hacknied in it, and on which, for the thousandth time, the changes have been rung by every believer in contagion, from its first author, Hieronymus Fracasterais, down to its present child and champion, Sir Gilbert Blane (who would even rank the sea scurvy amongst the number of contagious diseases) have been long since consigned to oblivion by all who understand the subject. The facility, however, with which it immediately found its way into one of the Public Prints, and the especial manner in which the same Print directed' attention to it, para..: cularly that of Members of Parliament, have induced me to take some notice of it, in the hope of counteracting, by means of your very impartial Paper, whatever impression it might thus have tended to make on its unprofessional readers, before the measure brought forward for the relief of the commercial interests of the country, should come under discussion in the House of Lords. It must appear to every one who has perused that article, that it is written in a style of arrant egotism and self-suffi ciency, and that its author, in an overweening fondness for his dotard opinions, has treated with obloquy all who have the mis fortune to differ from .him. I apprehend that the " contagion" of example, like Horace's " Scabiem et contagia lucri" is more catching than that of plague and fever, by the token, that I feel a strong itch to retort on the writer some of • his own lan guage, and to tell him that the article thereof is " a tissue of misrepresentations," the more deserving of censure, as they contain unwarrantable reflections on those honourable Mem bers of the House of Commons, who have, so much to their credit, taken a distinguished part in investigating the question, as to the validity of the doctrine of a specific contagion in the plague. This soi-disant experienced physician, with a modesty be coming him, declares that he entertains a very poor opinion of a person's accuracy, who ventures to differ with him in his logical deductions, which indeed I must confess have much simplicity to recommend them ; for the principle which characterises them is post hoc, ergo hoc. But, in his anxiety to chop logic, and work a syllogism, he is himself very careless and inaccurate as to his facts and premises. For instance, he is wrong in his very first fact. He states that there were twenty-six medical gentlemen examined before the Committee of the House of Commons, in 11119, whereas in reality there were only nine teen ; and he follows up this fact by another of a similar de scription, that, out of the twenty-six medical gentlemen ex amined, " all, except two, testified decidedly in favour of the existence of pestilential contagion." Surely the writer has not read the whole of the evidence taken upon that occasion ; or, if he has, he must be one of those persons (and his experience will tell him there exist such), the tablet of whose memory is insusceptible, or liable to obliteration of all impressions or re collections, except those of a certain cast. Take, for instance, Dr. Tainsh's evidence. Does this third medical gentleman utter one word that testifies in favour of the existence of pestilential contagion ? He was surgeon of the Theseus frigate,' at the siege of Acre ' when five patients infected with the plague were received on board. One of them had parts in a state of suppuration. The man who attended these patients, and washed them, and the barber who shaved them, communicated generally with the crew of the ship, and so like wise did Dr. Tainsh, who applied the poultices to the parts, and handled the patients. Yet there was no communication of the plague to any person on board. Dr. Tainsh ordered their clothes to be destroyed; but in answer to a question, he, unequi vocally testifies that he did so merely on account of cleanliness, and not from the belief that the disease was itself contagious. Besides Dr. Tainsh, there is the direct evidence of a fourth wit ness, Dr. Gladstone, who several times visited plague patients, and felt their pulses without experiencing any bad consequences therefrom ; and to the evidence of this gentleman I would solicit particular attention, because he unequivocally declared, that, if the plague were a contagious disease, our Quarantine regula-' tions would have been inefficient to have kept it out of these Kingdoms. The writer, amongst other individuals whom he assails with invective, directs his petulencv against an eminent Barrister, because that gentleman, so far from thinking that there was any foundation for another of the writers self-attested facts, namely, " that the Committee of the House of Commons in 1819, all but the Chairman, broke up under feelings of shame and dis gust at having entertained the question respecting contagion ;" that Gentleman, I say, from a careful examination and analysis of the evidence, came to the conclusion, " that it had a bearing on the question of a very different complexion to what the report drawn up was calculated to give it." In the first place, let me ask the writer whether the whole of the Committee, with the exception of the Chairman, signed that report ; and, if not, how many did sign it ?—Let me ag a in as k, what interested motives that eminent Barrister could have for bringing for ward " a tissue of misrepresentations and assertions abounding with false colouring and gross errors," in a work on the laws of commerce and manufactures ? And, lastly, let me ask whe ther he as a Barrister, and " eminent Special Pleader," is not as competent to sift and decide on the import of evidence, as those unprofessional men, who were members of the Committee in 1819 ?—I. \valid advise the writer to consult a very able' work of Sir Gilbert Mane, on the Elements of Natural Logic, which has been deemed worthy of the patronage of his Majesty, and which ought to form the Vade Mecum ofevety medical Idgician and dogmatist. If I mistake not,- it is in that work Sir Gil bert gives the preference, in all cases of conflicting medical testimony, to a lawyer, accustomed to sift and weigh evi dence, rather than to. a physician, who, he says, is seldom unbiassed by previous opinions and prejudices. But. to return to the point, is there one sentence of that Author's article on Quarantine that can be impugned ? The Report assumes the authority of all the medical men examined, with the-exception of two, for distinguishing the Plague front other epidemics, by its being communicable by contact only ; whereas, the article on Quarantine states that these gentlemen for contact are con fined, as much as the Author. can discover, to only three or four out of the nineteen examined. But really the writer does not appear to have taken the trouble of comparing the remarks on Quarantine with the evidence. Chapter and verse are given for every fact stated; and, as a lawyer, the Author shews that a witness oftentimes damns his own evidence by proving too nntch, like some 46 obstinate" sticklers for contagion, in their evidence before the Committee of 1819, who retailed their hear say stories, which like former accounts of the communication • and propagation of the disease, are too absurd for common belief.. The writer, for a wonder, admits one fact adduced by the non-contagionists ; hut the bad grace with which he does it, and the unsuccessfld attempt he makes to fritter away the import ance attached to it, bespeak the reluctance with which he ac knowledges it. It is then a fact, that, although that wise and commercial people, the Dutch, have no preventive regulations, yet H olland enjoys immunity from plague. I may here say to the writer, that, ." out of thine own mouth I will jttdge thee." He tells us, that, " according to the testimony of the excellent Mr: Howard, the Dutch were unwarrantably careless in guard ing against the contagion :" yet, in the next Sentence, he ad mits that the last time the Dutch were afflicted with the plague was so far back as the year 1664; and almost in• the sarhe breath, contradicting Mr. Howard and hinnielf, he would lead us to believe thatihitch ships perform quarantine in the 'Medi terranean, and that the Government of Holland impose further restrictions of the sante nature at home: whereas, I, on the con vary, assert, without the fear of contradiction, that Dutch ships perform no quarantine in the Mediterranean, and that the whole of their home regulations consist in the detention of their ships fram the Levant for a few days, during which they are twice visited by a Doctor, and, upon his report that the crews conti nue in health, are immediately released, whether with clean or foul bills or health, without any airing of goods whatsoever. The writer concludes this " tissue" of inconsistency, re specting the practice cf Holland, with a flourishing climax, that most, if not all the plagues, with which England has been visited, were believed to have beep imported from that coun try. Now; I would asic what evidence exists that the Levant plague has eveLbeen imported, directly or indirectly into Eng land ? It argues strongly against the belief of the last great plague of 1 within in 1665; having been imported from Hol land, that the first cays of it did not occur near the quays, or custom-house, Or 'amongst the shipping ; but in the crowded and MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 20, 1825. filthy neighbourhoods of St. Giles's and Clam-market. Some even of the medical gentlemen, favouring the' doctrine of contagion, who were examined before the Committee of 1819, state their disbelief of this being the Levant plague; on the contrary, they say it was generated at home, and ascribe it to " the narrowness of the streets, ac. cumulation of filth, an d a w ant o f ventilation, and probably a diseased constitution of the atmoSphere." There were, at that period, no common sewers, and the privies were accumulated under every house, and probably not emptied for years. Supposing, h owever ,- that th ere ex i ste d no conflicting testimony amongst the contagionists as to the plague of London in 1665 having beem imported, and that they all believed so, such testimony would weigh but as a grain of sand against the well established fact, " that, notwithstanding our very frequent intercourse with the Levant, and infected countries, and not withstanding the notoriety that the Quarantine Laws have been frequently eluded, and that parcels of goods are abstracted from on board ships, and smuggled on shore, before undergoing ex purgation, there has occurred no instance, ever since the esta blishment of Quarantine, upwards of a hundred years, of the plague being found on board of any ship, or of any person em ployed in the Lazarettos being infected." • , That Quarantine Laws do not secure pliets from visitations of the plague, is proved by its having broken out at Marseilles, and other places, more than once, subsequent to the establish ment of Quarantine; and the great rigour with which its regu lations were enforced in 1720, made the epidemic of that year by far more destructive than any that had ever ravaged Mar seilles before the institution of the quarantine system. On the other hand, in places, particularly Holland, where the quaran tine system is in effect abolished, or exists only in name, we hear of no cases of plague occurring, nor of any epidemics being imported. If the contagionists believe, on hearsay authority, that the last great plague of London was imported, according to some, in a bale of cotton, or according to others in fiax,although it is strange, the name of the vessel, in which either of thesefr miles was imported, has never been ascertained; they are more than equally bound to believe a fact stated by Dr. Hodges,of which he was an eye-witness. In his account of the plague of London in 1665, he says, " the people who had retired into the country were so little afraid of the infection being preserved in linen or household goods, that, on their return to town, they, without any scruple, entered the rooms of the sick before the people were quite dead, and went into the beds where the dead expired even before they were cold, and before they were cleansed from the stench of the diseased ; but yet none caught the distemper." Yet Dr. Hodges was a staunch contagionist ; for amongst other marvellous stories, he tells us that a lady seemingly in good health, and who had eaten that day a hearty dinner, received the infection from his garments, and died in the afternoon.
