MEDICAL REPORT. 
Report of Diseases and CASuALTIES occurring inthe public and private Practice 
of the Physician who has the care of the Western District of the City Dispensary. 
—— 
UACKERY, of any kind, the writer 
of these papers has never. spared ; 
not that he has thought it worth while to 
go out of his. common course in order to 
meet and attack the many-headed mon- 
ster, conscious as he is that professional 
interference with the unprincipled pro- 
ceedings of nostrum proprietors, or the 
lying statements of pretenders to secret 
plans of cure, is both beneath the dignity 
of regular medicine, and calculated to 
defeat its own purpose. If the people 
will be deceived, let them be deceived, 
has ever been the Reporter's feeling; and 
indeed, in some instances, it would seem 
cruel to destroy faith, however ill founded, 
when it is capable of efiecting actual 
benefit. 
In proportion, however, to-his indispo- 
sition of thinking or caring about syrups, 
or balsams, or vegetables, or tractors, is 
his disposition to attend to those kind of 
appeals to observation and good sense, 
which some are too ready to reject as 
empirical and worthless, merely because 
they a little deviate from the routine of 
established practice. In this predicament 
isthe proposed plan of treating cancerous 
and‘other disordered structure, simply by 
pressure. The Reporter's observation of 
Mr., Young’s: practice'has not, perhaps, 
been sufficiently extensive to authorize 
very decided language on the subject; 
but what he has seen of it has been largely 
in?its favour. He has witnessed two 
cases, especially, in which open cancerous, 
or fungoid; disease has been arrested in its 
destructive march; and a few days since, 
in company with one of the most respec- 
table surgeons in London, he was called 
upon to observe the decided improvement, 
under this. treatment, of a very large 
schirrous breast. The subject of the dis- 
order is the wife of a respected medical 
friend of the Reporter, who is exceed- 
ingly satisfied with the result, as far as at 
present manifested. The reader of these 
papers shall be duly informed of its pro- 
gress; mean time, the writer cannot help 
again protesting against the indolent or 
interested feeling which would class Mr. 
Young’s manly and open appeal’ to fact 
and principle, with the charlatanism of — : : 
secret and superior pretension. 
Disease of all kinds has, till within the 
last few days, been still comparatively 
infrequent. Fevers and stomach-ailments 
are now beginning to appear. Some_ 
cases of scarlatina have lately fallen under 
the writer’s notice, of more than ordinary 
severity; their malignity, however, has 
rather been in their sequel than in their. 
first state. ‘Two cases especially are at 
this moment under treatment; in one of 
which there is every reason to suppose 
water on the brain; in the other, water in 
the chest. The inflammatory irritation 
by which scarlet fever is characterized, 
implicates especially that part of the or- 
ganization, viz. the small terminal arteries 
of either the outer skin or internal sur- 
faces; from which effusion is readily ‘in- 
duced. ‘Hence the dropsical Swelling of 
the ‘surface, which are so commonly. the | 
consequetices of the malady in question ; 
and hence the pouring out of fluids into
