“Cutaneous, although not alfections gene- 
rally predominant in the Reporter's tist, 
have in several instauces occurred of late ~ 
within the space of hts professional ex- 
perience, One was that of a lady, who in 
consequence of, or at least in iminediate 
subsequence. to her husband’s  bank- 
ruptcy was affected with macule tipon 
the skin, which gradually extended them- 
selves over her body, aud were suddenly 
aggravated jn appearance by amore re- 
cent and unanticipated accumulation of 
commercial calamity. This is somewhat 
analogous to a remarkable instance which 
many years ago presented itself at the 
Finsbury Dispensary, of sa poor old 
woman, who, after a shock which she felt 
at seeing a near relation fall dawn dead 
at her feet, was seized with intelléetual 
derangement, aud in avery short time 
was surprised and harassed bythe spread- 
ing of a swarm of vermin over the general 
surface of her frame. The «a/nost om- 
nipotence of mental feehngs, 1s n6t as 
yet sufficiently understood and appre- 
ciated. As for the d scoloratious of the 
skin, they for the most part are to be re- 
garded merely or ‘principally as super- 
ficial expressions or indices of general, 
or wii. disease. *They are, how. 
tion, and.are matters ot learned curiosity; 
although investigations of this kind may 
not lead to any practical result, or tend 
towards a fashical reformation in medical _ 
management, or in professional science.* 
Whatever increases the stock of our 
knowledge, adds indirectly, if notsimme~ 
diately, to the resources for improving ” 
the condition of our existente, A va- 
riety of other cases which have ‘o¢-- 
curred, although they might suggest 
some corrections of ordinary prace 
tice, can scarcely ‘afford interest to 
that multitude of raiscellaneous readers, 
upon whose minds the writer of this 
article is more particalarly anxious to 
impress the importance, as well as to 
explain the truth and meaning, of his ob- 
servations. 
The Reporter has, hy some Sink his most 
respectable and respected friends, been 
thought to lower his professional. rank 
by periodically promulgating his doctrines 
in a Magazine. But a man who wishes 
to inculcate important axioms, ought to’ 
pet that medium. which is best calcus 
lated to promote their universal propa- 
gation, And a work of such extensive 
circulation must-give a greater spread 
to opinions, than can be assured by a 
separate volume, which. few would. look 
at, and scarcely amy could economically, 
or would voluncarily, purchase. “Brissot,

penchant for an acquaintance with the calami«
