CAMBE RS'S JOURNAL.—No. 22 of the
New Series contains an article entitled " Persecution of New
Ideas," which the Editors deliberately print as an extract " From a
Private Pamphlet,"word for word it is taken from Dr. Dickenson's Fal-
lacies of the Faculty !—ln a subsequent Number (36) appears another
article headed "What to do in cases of accident—Bloodletting."
Every argument adduced in that article against the operation in such
cases, is borrowed without acknowledgment from the same work.
The principal object of that work is the exposition of the periodicity
of all vital phenomena, which Dr. Dickenson claims as his discovery.
It forms the basis of the chronothernial system of medicine, of which
he is the founder. Messrs. Chambers, to whom the Fallacies of the
Faculty was s bmitted two years ago, with a view to the publica-
tion of a People's Edition, know this—yet, in an article published in
their last Saturday's Journal (No. 38), headed " Periodicity of Vital
Ph-e-nomena," not only do they never name Dr. Dickenson, but abso-
lutely go out of their way to repeat an attempt of certain Medical
Journals to give the merit of his discovery to an obscure physician
of the name of Laycock, who impudently plagiarised it ! How that
plagiarism was exposed, the facts and dates by which the discovery
was substantiated, Messrs. Chambers know as well as any man liv-
ing. The controversy is in the pages of the Medical Times, the edi-
tors of which emphatically declare that Dr. Dickenson long preceded
Dr. Laycock ; and they may also see it in the copy of the Fallacies of
the Faculty sent to them on the appearanve of their extract
"From a Private Pamphlet."
