 medicine, which, though he candidly owns^ 

 yet by attempting to draw information from

 " rous errors ; recommendmg in this com- 

 " plaint drugs that are mod highly improper, 

 " as camphor, gmger, oil of jumper, oil of am- 

 ber^ carraway and juniper hemes, with white 

 wine. The pleafantry and humanity difplayed 

 in this work would make me forego any cri- 

 ticifm ; but this is fo very dangerous an er- 

 ror, that it w^ould be improper to pafs it over, 

 in juftice to the fcience, and to the unfortu- 

 nate animals that may fall victims to it."

 tives of the above, and fimilar obfervations of 

 Mr. Blaine, with expreffing my perfe61 fatis- 

 faclion that hjs complacence did not in this 

 cafe prevail over his fenfe of juftice and public 

 fpirit. I will only add, that I wiih it may be in 

 Mr. Blaine's power to take my replies in as 

 good part as I do his remarks, and to bring his 



mind
