TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—lnreading a notice in your excellent journal
of the 29th inst., on the subject of several lectures deli.
ve re doaa t the

ol) tbeychinsihcalmnsßtiatugtgiozE, ysoqu.,
in which your have mentioned
one
reporter by mistake honours me as the first person who
stated the connexion that exists between cholera and
electricity, which many eminent medical gentlemen had
previously noticed long since; amongst others, I)rs.
Greenhow, Adams, and Lyne, Mr. Orton, &c., to whose
authority I had referred Mr. Baggs in sub mitting my
in
vestigation,
My and calling his able attention to the nvestigation.
My proposition was, that as negative electric; stimu-
lated the production of cholera, the application of positive
electricity by insulation, and oxygen, would be the best
means of producing the arterialization of the blood, by
affording a countervailing effect to the magnetizing in-
fluence of negative electricity when in excess.
Your having the goodness to correct this little error,
will much oblige, Sir, yours, &c.,
Bath, Aug. 31. JOHN HOWARD RYAN.
