MARGATE PUBLIC MEETING,

WON DAY. SZIPIZIItBSR 2.

This day, at two o'clock, pursuant to public no.
tice. a meeting was held at the Royal Hotel at this
place. to take into consideration the Report of a
Committee on the subject of the remedies and new
mode of treatment practised by Mr. Whitlow. in
the caw of Scrofulous and Cancerous Disorders.

PETE& Moots, Esq. M.P. being called to the
Chair, addressed the meeting, and stated the pur-
poses for which they were then assembled. The
Report, which would be read to them, relating to
cases in which Mr. Whitlow's remedies had been
applied, would put the question of their efficacy as
muck out of doubt in the town of Margate, as was
the case now in London. How it came to be mat-
ter of doubt in Margate, was • circumstance for
which he could not account, except from the in-
fluence of strong prejudice against the introduc-
tion of a new article into the Materia Medico lie
thanked the meeting for placing him in the
chair on this occasion, as he considered himself in
some sort the godfather of Mr. Whitlaw, having
recommended him to come to Margate, where a
medical Infirmary was established for the cure of
those diseases to which his remedies were pecu-
liarly applicable. He (Mr. Moore) had accompa-
nied Mr. Whitlaw to the Infirmary, and an officer
of that establishment attended them round the chi-
(creed wards, and he informed them that unless
M►. Whitlaw would explain his secret to a Board
of the Faculty, sitting there, nothing would in-
duce them to give his remedies • trial. Their in-
formant steed this as. • general rule, for he
had himself discovered • remedy for some dia.
eases of the eye, which he was obliged to con-
fine to his private practice. It was not there-
fore surprising that a stranger should re-
ceive the same treatment ; and it proved the
strength of the prejudices of those persons who
could not allow any merit hut what centred io
themselves. All the faculty might he said to he in
ignorance of the great secrets of nature; and it
would require the evidence of twenty such men
even as M►. Whitlaw to convince him that nature
had not done her part in providing remedies for
these afflicting disorders. Fits views throughout
had ever been to aid the exertions of Mr. Whitlaw
in doing service to the cause of humanity. The
Hon. Gentleman concluded by requestiug their at-
tention while the Report was read :
