credulous enough to seek their aid.
" us. is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
ce! contributions to German medical literature. This is the first

other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his ower to cor-
rect."—London Medi cal Gasette. " The tribe of Quiet Sympathisers,'
and 'Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; and if this book
3'Juld find its way into the hands of those who saffer from the com-
plaint of which It treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that 3vhich the quacks most prize—
much money --This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empiric:xi system of treating Spermatorrticea, and to placs tho treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therafdies•
to do much good."

HOMEOPATHY versus ALLOPATHY.
To Messrs. NoalsoN, British College of Health,
New-road, London
GaNTLExxx,—lt appears that a few days ago several noblemen
and gentlemen had an interview with Lord Par4lllUre on the subjeqt
of having a nornceopathic hospital at Smyrna„ which interview has
been the cause of creating war to the knife he, ween the gentlemen of
the guinea trade. In the " Lancet" of last Saturday, the whole hand
of homoeopathy are denounced as quacks of the vilest die, &c, This
is a pleasant prospect certainly for John Au I. Which is he to
believe? thehomceopathic or allopathic doctors ? Lord Grosvenor is
to be ousted from Middlesex, and I don't know what else—so says
the" Lancet." Now, I appeal to the country wheth:r it is not most
disgusting to see these doctors continually at war with one another ;
and all for what 9 Why, the guinea trade. These scientific gentle-,
men, as they style themselves, are all fighting about who shall get
the- guineas from the pocket of John Hull; Lut as to caring a rush
about the real truth in medicine, such a thing does not enter their
heads ; for surely, otherwise; we should not seethe unseemly articles
which they level at one another. lam no friend to homceo-pathy;
but I hope Lord Grosvenor and the others will assert their right on
this question, and thus vindicate the medical liberty of the subject,
which is a right inherent in every free-born Englishman, and which
was so firtnly maintained ny the immortal James Morison, the
Hygeist, whose system will yet triumph over all others; for it is
emphatically an nniversal sy• tem. and one which for ever abolishes
all poisons in medicin and therefore the guinea trade. The public
must benefit Iron-. this split amongst doctors.
Yours, &c.,
London, Ap:11 9, 1855.
