ADDRESS to the MEDICAL PROFESSION

and to the PUBLIC GENERALLY.

The present alarm respecting the disease which is now said
to exist in London and its vicinity under the name of Cholera,
is maintained by some to be unfounded or exaggerated ; while
by others it is asserted, that this alarm is neither without
cause, nor disproportionate to the danger. Whence such di-
versity of opinion may have originated, has not been ascer-
tained ; nor has it been discovered whether there be any rea-
sonable cause for the prevalence of opinions so opposed.

This unsettled state of the public mind has been productive
of consequences the most pernicious. Our national relations
have been injured ; our internal prosperity has been shaken.
The medical profession has been aspersed by one party, as en-
couraging panic without cause ; and by another, as concealing
from the public eye the real nature and the full extent of the
disease.

To clear the character of the medical faculty of these asper-
sions by enquiring into the actual causes of this general alarm,
and to reconcile these conflicting opinions, a Medical Associa-
tion has been formed; to investigate the nature, modes of pro-
pagation, extent and treatment of that disease, and lay candidly
before the public the result of its inquiries. As this Associa-
tion belongs to no exclusive party, it advocates no exclusive
views. The practitioners, of whom it is composed, espouse no
theory; they support no faction ; their bond of union is the
public good : their common object is the cause of truth. Their
interests are neither promoted by encouraging excitement, nor
by resisting just alarm. If the disease known under the name
of Cholera exist in London, their object is to ascertain its ex-
tent, to elucidate its causes, to explain its management, and
to restore the tranquillity of the public, by an honest statement
of the truth.

An Association formed with motives so pure, and an object
so important, can have no enemies but those of science and of
mankind. They, therefore, look to the public for countenance,
and to the profession for assistance. They more especially
solicit the co-operation of the medical officers of parishes and
guardians of the poor. As they intend no opposition, they an-
ticipate no resistance. In the truest spirit of philanthropy have
they been organised, and with the most rigid respect to truth
and candour will all their labours be conducted. They feel
that the principles which they follow can lead them only to
truth, and they are persuaded that the plan upon which these
principles shall proceed, can scarcely fail to ensure ultimate
success.

The proceedings of the Association shall at all times be open
to inspection ; the register for the admission of members is
now prepared for siguatures ; and while they express the most
friendly feelings towards such as may decline to join them, the
Association earnestly solicit, and confidently hope for the
speedy co-operation of all, who are zealously attached to the in.
terests of medical science, and wish sincerely to promote the
welfare of the human species.
LEONARD STEWART, M.D., Chairman.

All communications to be directed, post-paid, to Dr. Morris,
17, Southampton-street, Strand, where the Register for enrolling
Members lies open for signatures.

SADLER'S W ELLS.--W. H. Williams,
the proprietor of this theatre, we perceive takes his benefit this
evening ; and from the well-known comic humour of Williams,
together with the talent that he has provided to amuse his
patrons, we have no doubt it will turn out—a beneigt.
