Died, Jan. ISih, Dr. John Carmichael 

 Smyth, at the age of 80. This gentleman 

 his made a conspicuous figure in his pro- 

 fession. In the year 1780 he had the charge 

 of the prison and hospital at Winchester, 

 wlien a pestilential fever broke out, which 

 required his greatest exertions. He had 

 recourse to the three mineral acids to cor- 

 rect the contagion, and their efficacy was 

 quickly experienced. Subsequent trials 

 proved the value of the discovery ; he 

 applied to parliameni for a reward, which 

 was granted to him, but not before the 

 year 1802, and not without opposition. A 

 Dr. Johnson of Kidderminster made a 

 claim on the ground that his father had 

 recommended the use of the same, and 

 many years before Dr. Smyth. On inquiry, 

 however, it appeared that Dr. Smyth had 

 i\o knowledge of such thiug, and that Dr. 

 Johnson had never tried it »od a proper 

 scale. It was iu 1787 Dr. Smyth first ap- 

 pears as an author, when he published an 

 account ofthe efficacy of swinging, as a 

 r Jiaedy in pulmonary consumptions. Next 

 year he 'edited the wor'is of Dr. Starck . 

 In 1796, he published a description of the 

 jail distemper as it appeared among the 

 Spanish prisoners at Wiuchester, in 1780, 

 with an account ofthe means employed for 

 curing the contagion which gave rise to it. 

 His other works are — The etiects of nitrous 

 vapour in preventing and destroying con- 

 tagion ascertained, with au introduction 

 respecting the nature of the contagion 

 which gives rise to the jail or hospital 

 fever. — A letter to W. Wilbeiforce, esq. 

 on a pamphlet of Dr. Johnson's, 1805. — 

 Remarks on the report of M. Chaptal, with 

 remarks on the claim of M. Guyton de 

 Morveau, to the discovery of the power of 

 the mineral acid gas in contagion, 1806 — 

 A treatise on hydrocephalus, or dropsy of 

 the brain, 1814. Dr. Smyth was physi- 

 cian-cxtraordinary to the King, and re- 

 sided for many years at Suubury.
