after the sixth bleeding | was able TO
raise either Of my feet as high as the ia

of wafer and the next day took'2 pounds

quantity; making, in the whole, 262
ounces. The water appeared to increase
fur FIVE days, and then began to decline,
and continued declining until | came to

he had not bed me twice more. For
some days I was too weak to ride on

clans say that if DR.. Rush cou!d be per-
mitted, he would rise OUT OF his grave and
proclaim to the world the further success
of blood, letting!
DR.. Conrad, of Winchester. saws YOU
ought to report the case to gentleman
who is now writing book on the success

me that he would write to you Oh the

Most Of the physic. ms with whom i

and many of them would not bleed at

o,cn responsibility. Does it not show the
force Of the impression you made on my

an opportunity of opening the way into a
new tield for medical investigation.
/ hazard nothing, sir, in stating that
the dropsicaI disease has been less IN
derstood by pathologists than any other
IN the whole round of nOsciogy; bur |
hope the time is not far distant when it
will be rendered as harmless as euartan
fever.
Permit me, sir, to tender you my
thanks Tor your persevering hrmness in
opposing your friends and physicians -
| expected such an opposition, and l en-
deavored to guard you against it. You
had nathing to fear from bloed-letting .
out you had every thing to fear from the
diseased actions which pervaded the rds-
cutdr systems The foundations of the
disease were deeply laid ia those systems,
