The London correspondent of the Boston


The London correspondent of the Boston
Atlas says
1.-the Afhcneum devotes nearly six col
umns to caustic review of Miss Martin
eau's statement of wonderful cure, which
she says was accomplished by the means OF
Mesmeric influence. This influential, and
at all times impartial, journal, says, "let us
admit the statement in its full force and in
teprity and to what does it amount Why,
there is not, we sincerely believe, a sceptic
or a scorner in the whole College of physi-
clans, who would not agree that such phe-
nomena, or like phenomena, or more extra
ordinary phenomena, are of every day oc-
currence. Yet Just such as these, with a
helping indignation and hating reason,
have served as foundation to one half the
decisions that, from age 10 age, have troub-
led the past world" The same journal goes
on to say, "not only is Miss Martineau an
incompetent witness, but, as the case stands
at present, on her own showing, it is impos-
sible even for medical science to offer an
opinion on the subject" "Al that can be
deduced from Miss Martineau's statement is,
that she was ill--and is well, or thinks so
but there is not one title Of evidence to
lead even to the inference that she was Gu
red (if cured) by 'mesmerlc MEANS or that
mesmerism had anything to do with the mat
ter" "Mss Martneau was mesmerised,
felt better, is better-thercfore, says Miss
Martineau, Il have been cured by mesmer-
ISM Why, this is Tenterden steepe, over
again 1t is the established argument on
which all quackery rests" In taking leave
of the case, the Atheneum thinks il presents
so little that is peculiar to mesmerisnD, that
the most earnest advocates of the science
will not care to allude to it.
An account is also given Of some extraor-
binary disclosures, said to have been made |
by Miss Martineaus servant girl. These !
are treated with the same digni6ed contempt
as Miss Martneau's statement of her remark ,
able cure.
Mr. Greenhow, the brother-il-law and pro- .
fessional attendant on Miss Martineau, has
published a medical report of the case refer /
red to. Mr. Greenhow was always of opin-
ion that the organ affected would get relief
nnd that his patient would be released from
her long-continued confinement. The pith /
Of the report can be given in few words -
In the history of this case, it is probable
LUat Tue advocates OF meSinerlSm VIII ma ,
reasons and arguments in support of their
opinions. But the experienced practitioner,
carefully Distinguishing tho post hoe from the
propter hoe, will have little difficulty in
bringing the whole into harmony with the
laws of human physiology"
'As regards the relief from the distressing
nervous symptoms connected Herewith, the
time had arrived when new and powerful
stimulus only was required, to enable the en-
mind of my patient TO shake them
off"
Miss Martineaus statement has been a
nine days wonder! Every body read it,
and was astonished but, like conlurors
tricks, when explained by 'brother-in-law,'
they appear SO perfectly simple, that we are
chagrined that we could not discover them
