The examples adduced appeared to me striking and self-evident. They seemed to me to point to some general law which it was well worth while to investigate a little further, although they are not of any immediate practical application.-C. NEIDHARD. From Dr. WASHINGTON EPPS. To the Editors of the British Journal of Homœopathy. GENTLEMEN,-In your article on Diabetes mellitus, copied from the Lancet, in the last number of your Journal, you put the footnote "[where, except in homœopathic literature ?-EDS.]" against the word “recorded" in the last paragraph. As Mr. R. J. Carey (the reporter of this letter) was a fellowstudent of mine, I wrote to ask him whether the sentence had not been much altered; he replied that "the sense of the first part of my letter to the Lancet was given correctly enough; but as to the conclusion of it, the Editor used the scissors rather too freely. This is the rough copy of it, from which I believe the transcription sent in did not vary more than a word or so. "I am not aware that any other allopathic practitioner has used this drug in the treatment of this very unsatisfactory disease; but as many cases of rapid cure, and many more of permanent palliation of this disease by the use of this drug have been recorded by the homoeopaths, I think fit to publish this solitary case, in the hope that practitioners with a wider field for experience than my own may try if this drug is to be added to OUR Pharmacopoeia.' Mr. Carey also added "The alteration of my words has put me to the trouble of writing to one or two medical men, who had asked me for references, that the authority on which I based my statement was the article 'Uranium' in Dr. Hughes' Pharmacodynamics, and cases quoted there." He further said "I hope when they in time publish their cases, that they will give the honour of priority of discovery where it is due." In justice to Mr. Carey, I think the above explanation should appear in the British Journal of Homœopathy. I remain, Gentlemen, 20, Devonshire Street; August 10th, 1874. WASHINGTON EPPS.
