dehce That the resources of science ill this class ot maladles are not wholly exhausted, and that more extensive results may be looked for. Let us compare the statistics of consumption for this city for the last three years and it will be seen, that whilst in England, the mortality from consumption is unchecked. with us, since the use of inhalation. it is undergoing a sensible de- crease. We give the numbers from the City Inspectors report:
 1854 1855. 1856.
 Of Consumption.....3,032 2,624 2.357
 Here we have the gratifying fact of di.nin- utioa in the mortality of 40s in the year 1855, and of CTS in the year 1856, as compared with 1854. If we contrast these results with the continually increasing mortality of the lrevious years there is 10 forced conclusion in ascribing this marked Improvement to the hold which Dr. Hunters systtm of treatment has taken of the public favor.
 In view of these facts VIC are justified in emit ting the opinion that no hospital should be founded for the treatment of pulmonary diseases alone, without an attempt being made to couple with it Dr. Hunters system of practic which has been attended with such marked benefits. We are satisfied that, in order to obtain for the inhalation system a fair opportunity of comparison this gentleman could be induced to give a portion of his time gratu;tousy to the new hospital, or any other that might be estab- lshed on really scientific and liberal principles"
