it has not generally been iudiciously treat

has been too much the practice among
medical men blindly TO follow the opinions
of others, without examining OF thinking
for themselves. The inductive mothOd Of
arriving at the truth cannot be Of mOre use
in any department Of science than in medi-
cine. Every physician should take care to
compare the conclusions arrived at BY other
practitioners with his own observations of
facts. Many Of those who have. written
on cholera in these countries have been
mere theorists, without experience; and, Of
consequence, the practice in that disease
has too often been the sheereSt empiricism.
There has been no rational system uniyer-
sally pursued; nor has there been any reg
ular plan OF treatment generally adopted.
Could there be a greater proof OF the
ignorance that has too much prevailed on
the subject, than the observations of cor
