A feeond volume of chat bighly ufefal 
work, Dr. TRorren’s: “ Medicina 
Nautica,” has made its. appearance; we 
have great pleafure in finding that the 
very judicious recommendations of our 
author with refpeét to ventilation and 
cleanline{s, and particularly the imfula- 
tion of thofe attacked by contagious fe- 
vers, have been attevded to on hoard his 
Majetty’s ihips, aitd have had the defired 
effcét in rendering contagion accidental! 
introduced eafily extinguiihable. Rut 
we are not a little furprifed at the 
decided oppofition of Dr. ‘Trotter to fu- 
-migation with nitrous acid vas, 
afferts, i in dirett oppotition to the opinion 
of Dr. Carmichael Smyth, and to the 
_teftimonies colleéted by him, which we 
. have already noticed, to be not only in- 
capable of purifying Toul air, -but to con- 
tribute materially to its deterioration. 
Itis a dreadful: ftroke to the caufe of 
fcience, and tends to produce philofophi- 
cal {cepticifm, when we find two men 
of talents, and both profefling to have 
evidence from the experience of others as 
well as their own, thus differing from 
each other tefo c@lo, When we confider 
the great attraction of nitrous Bas for 
oxygen, we cannot help thinking that ir 
muit tend to diminith the proportion of 
this conftituent part of the atmofphere 
in which the fumigations are made; but 
whether air, with this under proportion of 
oxygen, be more or lefs fit for perfons 
with contagious fevers, cannot be deter- 
-mined by mere reafoning.
