THK EDITOR’S REMARKS. 
of tilings. It was that which would have resulted if directions 
for the treatment of influenza in children were distributed among 
the cottagers in some unhealthy season. The Society acted hastily, 
and not a little injuriously towards the farmer and practitioner. 
The course that ought to have been pursued has been indicated on 
a former occasion. 
We observe with pleasure the mode of proceeding adopted by 
the authors of these reports. Every question is answered fairly 
and candidly. Sufficient of the medical treatment is stated to 
enable the practitioner to suit the remedy to the occasion, and the 
connexion between the medical practitioner and his patients is not, 
for the sake of both, dissevered. 
Mr. Lepper follows the same course with Mr. Wallis; and he 
gives us a statistical table of the mortality of the cases concerning 
which he was consulted. This has been already referred to, and 
it speaks volumes as to the person to whom the care of these 
patients should be entrusted. 
To him succeeds Mr. Holmes, who departs from the order of 
the questions, but still communicates information not inferior to that 
of his brethren. The reviser of all these accounts would be thank- 
ful if the order of the questions could be retained; but still he will 
be grateful for information so valuable as that given by Mr. Holmes, 
in whatever form it may come. 
The communication from Mr. Wotton has relation to the horse. 
We cordially thank him for it, and should feel obliged for many 
more of the same kind from those who could so readily supply 
them. 
The reader will observe with unfeigned pleasure the numerous 
sketches of this Epidemic as it has appeared in the horse. The 
Essays, particularly that of Mr. W. C. Spooner, are truly valuable, 
and the debate, although short, will be read with interest. 
Whether to be published in the first or the second portion of 
this work, they will be doing the cause of their profession much 
service who will contribute to Mr. Youatt, or to Mr. Morton, their 
opinion of the character and proper treatment of the Epidemic 
among horses. It will constitute the foundation of a most valuable 
work on these epidemics.
