lows :

Mr. Cordwell first consulted me on the 19th of October,
1844. I had never seen him before.
He was of a nervous temperament, anxious and irritable.
He stated that he had never known sound health. After
giving a detail of the various diseases under which Mr. C.
had suffered, proceeds—during the long period of his ill-health
he had placed himself under several practitioners, but he was
unable to give details of their respective treatment. lie re-
marked, however, that he had taken a great deal of medicine;
and that, finding himself dai'y getting worse instead of better,
he had recourse to hydropathy, from which, not finding the
hoped-for relief, he came as a last resource to consult we with
the view of being treated ho mawpathic ally.
Dr. Currie then goes at great length into the history
of his treatment of the case, and of the attack of hemor-
rhage from the bowels. It appears that the last day Dr
Curie saw his patient was on the 2d of March, and the
following is his history of the transactions of that day :-
2d March —This morning the patient was found in a much
more satisfactory state. As soon as I entered the room he
said, " Doctor, I have not fainted since you left me." The
pulse was stronger, about 75, and the face less pallid, denot-
ing a much better condition. He had slept a little during
the night. The beef tea had not yet been given, on account
of a little oozing of blood from the anus.
Lachesis was to be continued at longer intervals. I or-
dered the patient to be cleaned without his being moved,
and I recommended rest of the strictest kind, and that no
visitor should disturb him. The beef tea was to be given as
soon as the bleeding bad entirely ceased. The patient aske i me
what time I should return. I promised to see him in the
course of the evening. When I again called, I found at the
door a note informing me that the 'nest intimate friends of
the patient had taken upon themselves to call in other advice.
Thus ended my attendance on the case, and I heard no
more of it until I was informed by some friends that they
had seen in the newspaper that Mr. Cordwell's death had
taken place three or four days after my dismissal. To my
surprise, however, on the evening of the 10th of March I
received a summons to attend a Coroner's inquest in relation
to it.
At the inquest, it appears that Mr. Wakley said there was no
charge made against Dr. Curie by the medical men who had
been examined, and therefore he should advise that gentle.
man to be be silent.
Dr. Curie said, "as no charge had been made, he certainly
had no desire to trouble the Court with any remarks."
The Doctor then continues—After this the jury delivered
their verdict (involving certainly not a tangible charge, but
a condemnation which could only have been fairly put forth
it a charge had been made and proved) when
Mr. Wakley remarked, with considerable emphasis.
" If I were a juror, I have no hesitation in saying that I
should most cordially agree with the observations just read "
From these reports it will be seen that the jury and Mr.
Wakley, the medical coroner, did not enter into any inquiry
regarding the circumstances which induced me to order the
abstinence, but based their expressions of "indignation and
disgust" solely on the fact that ten days' fast had been or-
dered. If these expressions had conic merely from the
jury (although the injustice of using them against a practi-
tioner without first asking him for an explanation must in
any case have been apparent), they would not perhaps have
been wondered at, because, to persons altogether ignorant of
the details of medical science, ten days naturally seem a serious
period for any one to be kept without food ; but that a medical
man should have fallen into the error of supposing this to be
an unexampled and necessarily an undue abstinence cannot
fail to excite the strongest feeling of surprise. It is well
known that abstinence for a much longer period is often
essential. Andra!, in his great work "La Clinique Medi-
cale," quotes a number of cases of fever in which the total
abstinence varied from a few days to several weeks.
The Doctor then quotes a list of well-authenticated
cases, in which total abstinence from nourishment had
been enforced for a much longer period than it had been
in the case of Mr. Cordwell, and in which the patients
had recovered, in all probability, in consequence of such
abstinence. He thus concludes—.
These authorities would seem amply sufficient to justify
a practitioner in enforcing strict abstinence in cases where it
' appears to his judgment to be necessary ; and notwithstanding
t:'e new authority arrayed against them in the person of Mr.
u, akley, supported by an unprofessional jury, 1 believe they
wit,' still be received with deference.
tr,he Doctor then relates several caseate of abstinence,
. from. his own practice, in which the grst benefit ap-
_

—_.--.---_e--------""eee---_
pears to have been (.'erivt d frem the practice. The°.
cases. es eontri betiene to the science of medicine, are
v. ry valuable,
fession and of the public.
• , and well worthy the attention of the pare
following is from his summing up of the case:--
From what has beets now laid before them the public will
be able to trace the strict propriety or the treatment
I adopted in Mr. Cordwell'e case. . They Will perceive that
the post-/no-tem examination confimed, to the minutest_
point, my original diagnosis, and that the withholding of
l was nat ,Illy in conformity with the highest authorities,
hut z,ho with my own abundant experience in similar OZ.
At the same time I may assert that no practitioner, n•i"
the exception perhaps of Mr. Waltley, will veoture to.
sinuate that the haemorrhage in this case was produced
by abstinence, because such an effect would be totally againtr,
which
all experience. It is well known that towards the subsy:
deuce of fever accidents of that kind are especially to .1
dreaded, and that what chiefly renders caution so.essenttas
in returning to f ,od and to- the general exercise- of the
ordinary functions is the danger of producing them'
The necessity of avoiding every source of general este
citement at that time is particularly insisted en 11
all medical writere, because just before the Peri°
of convalescence the whole- powers of the systein are
at their lowest point, and the various tissues et. tne_
parts principally affected are liable to give way under tli:
slightest increased action. Hence it is that these author
most strenuously enforce the removal of all disturbing c:fi!els.r.
and urge in a way which shows their sense of its critic 1 tvae.
portance, the mostguarded course even as to the slightest mot_
te.
meats. That a haemorrhage in a person so especially
accident as was Mr. Cordwell, would prove at this satdag
ahnost an inevitable result of a fit of " pessien'', will be r't the
understood; and there is every reason to suppose Oa ,c
5..
irritation to which he was exposed may have beenw.loi la
siderable, when we look at the disturbing influences by . 1,....C_A
he was surrounded. That the presence of undigested4ue"'p
would have rendered the system better able to be 4
against this irritation will hardly be asserted. td
That the appetite had not returned' up to the perata,
of. the haemorrhage was abundantly shown, and ill. was
liable to h e
dition to other proofs, the tact that the patients

poem, by the Hon. Mr. Smyth; it is full of feeling
and sitnplicity,,breath!nF, the very spirit of mournful
devotititi, it is a picture of the " vanity of human
wishes," the unhappy lover recals the bright visions
of the past—
Many a Tt,triniel all vain giulT,

Crumbling story after story,
Cloud-like driven—where, all, wh,re
In the noontide of my feeling,
Out of passion and of heat,
Many a mirage came revealing,
Many a phase of one deceit.
Dreams of voyage, where the water
Mirrors back lagunes and isles,
And St. Mark's undying daughter,
Sees her charms, and seeing, smiles.

He thinks on the fond hopes of youth, and finds them
only "dreams"—
Dreams all vanisli'd, joys all blighted,
Hopes 'twere madness to renew ;
Yet believe me, spurn'd and slighted,
Grief has its illusions too.
And in vigils lone and mournful,
Sadness makes to me more sure,
All the smallness of the scornful,
All the grandeur of the poor.
And I see the shadow darken,
Of a nation's wrath around ;
And my quicken'd senses hearken
To the thunder under ground.
Yes—the air is gay with laughter,
Lady's love and ,tripling's jest ;
When were victims mark'd for slaughter,

Other than in flowers drest ?

The " Excursion up the Oronooka" is concluded
in this number; it is interesting to the last. There
are several other amusing tales and histories, among
which we must not forget the commencement of a
sketch of Lords Stowell and Eldon. On the whole
this number is as full of variety as ever.
