and the sense of touch was partially re- 
stored, so that some could handle a knife 
and fork, or work with a needle, and walk 
much faster than they had been able to do 
before. In none, however, did the prompt 
curative effects take place which were ob- 
. served in Miss Macpherson and in Puche. 
The cure might be said to have only 
begun ; still it was an inexpressible satis- 
faction to perceive, that in one of the most 
obstinate and loathsome of maladies, any 
sensible amendment, such as that acknow- 
ledged by the six patients now under con- 
sideration, could be effected during the 
only five weeks that they took the Cut- 
chunchulli. I may also state, that, to put 
its remedial powers to the most decided 
test, I abstained from administering every 
other medicine at the same time ; and that 
the excessively poor diet which the Lazars 
receive, being only the same with the food 
allowed to persons confined in the House of 
Correction, was also unfavourable to their 
recovery. The case of my white patient 
remains to be mentioned; and here I am 
sorry to say, that the Cuichunchulli pro- 
duced no sensible benefit whatever, though 
my interest in the individual led me to con- 
tinue it for a longer period, and to administer 
it in larger quantities than to any of the 
others. Sometimes, indeed, he said that 
he thought himself rather better, but that 
farther reflection speedily dispelled the 
agreeable illusion. In this instance, there- 
fore, the plant in question has completely 
failed ; but this failure may only serve to 
co the general rule, that no medicine 
is dais effective in all cases.

Fifth Volume of the English Flora. All 
information, therefore, as to the character 
and synonyms of the species, is to be 
sought in that work. Occasion, however, 
will be taken of communicating any far- 
ther information, which may be deemed 
requisite, or of correcting any errors into 
which the author may have fallen, as the 
different species are published: and new 
species, or such as may occur subsequently 
to the completion of the English Flora, 
will be accompanied by their specific cha- 
racters; and, where such exist, by their 
more prominent synonyms.
