CONSUMPTION—its CURABILITY estab-
lished by reference to numerous cases ; being a Letter ad-
dressed to the Senior Consulting Physician to the Hospital for Con-
sumption. By Dr. CRONIN, Physician to the Strand Dispensary
for Consumption.

CONSIIMPTION.—PRACTICAL INCONSISTENCY.—The " Senior Con-
sulting Physician" to the Hospital for Consumption, Dr. Forbes, 12,
Old Burlington-street, asserts (and I have no doubt, as far as his
own experience and practical knowledge may warrant, truly), that
Consumption (the disease for the cure of which this institution is
established), is incura de, and that all who differ with him in opinion
are " blockheads." I ask you, Dr. Forbes, how you will account to
her Most Gracious Majesty, and to her august Consort, his Royal
Highness Prince Albert, for obtaining their patronage for an institu-
tion—for what ? for the cure of a disease which you, the chief phy-
sician, pronounce absolutely incurable ; nay, more, you, the highest
authority—from whose opinion there is no appeal—maintain, not
only the absolute incurability of a disease (to be cured in this
hospital), while denouncing the curability as the offspring of the
grossest folly : in a word, the raving follies of a " blockhead." How
will you reconcile the Governors and subscribers in general to the
wanton expenditure of their money i What will the poor, who are
compelled to apply to this hospital for advice, think ?—what will your
colleagues think ? Will they consult you in extremities—in cases of
doubt and difficulty? I should think not. For who now thinks of
consulting the consulting physician, if, like you, he maintains the in-
curability of the disease for the cure of which he is to be consulted
Oh, most preposterous absurdity ! Consult Dr. Forbes on a case of
consumption, and then—what must the Medical Committee think of
you, still holding the office of " Senior Consulting Physician," while
you dogmatically announce there can be no subject for deliberation—
no matter for consultation ? I beg pardon, it may be the perquisite
of the " Senior Consulting Physician" to consult as to the nomination
ofthe undertaker.—From Dr. Cronin's " Letter on the Curability of
Consumption."
To be had at Forsyth's, 455, West Strand ; Byrne's, 94, St. Mar-
tin's-lane ; at the Dispensary, 113, Strand ; and at the author's resi-
dence, Craven-street, Strand.

SUDDEN DEATH OF A SCENE-SHIFTER. —An in-
quest was held on Monday, at the Harlequin, Drury-lane
before Mr. Higgs, on the body of Thomas Burns, aged
thirty-five, a scene-shifter at Drury-lane Theatre. Thomas
Heaford, also a scene-shifter, said that on Saturday last,
at twelve o'clock. he saw the deceased on the stage, work-
ing the scenery during the rehearsal of a new piece, and in
about a quarter of an hour he found him suffering from a
pain at his heart. Deceased soon grew so weak that he was
unable to proceed with his work, and finding him gradually
sinking, he had him conveyed home. The whole of that
morning he had been greatly excited and flurried at his
work, for he was rather behindhand with what he had to
do. Edward Percival, another scene-shifter, corroborated
the above evidence, and said that the deceased died soon
after his return home. A witness named Samuel Coles made
was agreed to,
