This is an old AMI wel!-established Medical pub
lcaon Of wide celebrity in England, ard fea,
SO far as we can judge, with matter Of general in
terest to the profession. 1t gives a record of all
important modes of treatment, with full and indie
pendent reviews of all medical publications. Each
number is large, we'll printed octave of three
hundred pages. 1t is edited by James Johnson,
NJ D. and H. ]. Johnson, Esq We observe in
this number notice of the celebrated case of am
putation during mesmeric sleep, which created 90
much excitement in the foreign journals. The

the Times and other newspapers. The whole,
he says, amouated to this miserable non equi-
tur, this lame and impotent conclusion that
non-srpression of pain is proof Of its NON eriSt
ence'" "Is it not humiliating," ne adds, ''to
medical science that barris,er, physician and one
ortwo surgeons should come for.hin learned and
royal society to uphold such piece of ratiocina-
uon as this at the present day
