I will not go so far as one of your correspondents, as to say that the Journal is "I a bad article at a high price," but I will say it is a " very improveable article at an improveable price." From Dr. Cowan's declaration of the estimate given by a London printer, (which I think be is not bound to make public,) I have no doubt but that the Journal may be published weekly in a much improved form without an increase of the subscription.

I should be sorry to see the "Transactions" discontinued, but would prefer an improved weekly journal to the rather shabby way in which they are now irregularly sent. The discussion at Oxford will I hope effect much good. Dr. Cowan can, and I doubt not will, defend himself from the severe and even unjust strictures which have appeared in the last Journal. I would add that it is not likely that the Medical Times should wish to have a London rival, and more especiaUy when it is remembered what a large amount of vituperation, and virulent abuse appeared some time since in that paper against the Association and its Journal.

I have detailed to you as correctly as I can everything relative to the symptoms and order of their occurrence as they attack myself individually, without any reference whatever to any medical author. I am generally free from the affection about the latter end of July, and I think I may say by the end of the first week in August, no traces of its existence remain manifest. It is equally severe in London as in the country. I am always worse during the day, and if in the forenoon the sun is shining bright, I hardly dare venture out of doors, the intolerance of light being almost unbearable. The relief which is experienced for a few hours after a heavy shower of rain, can hardly be imagined, and the symptoms are always less distressing in wet weather. Again, it nearly always leaves me for a short time, sometimes a day or two after a thunder-storm; and to this partly, is my presence before you now to be attributed, for you will remember that yesterday we had a considerable amount of thunder and lightning; this circumstance, moreover, would tend to favour the idea entertained by some, both with respect to this, as well as to influenza, that the cause is to be attributed to some change in the electrical condition of the atmosphere-whether to an accumulation or deficiency of the electric fluid I am not enabled tostate. Ipecacuanha, it may be remarked, has no further effect upon me than the application of any other pulverulent matter would be suipposed to have. On several occasions a pinch has been taken, the same as one would take a pinch of snuff, without producing any effect. I need hardly state that this was ,done merely by way of experiment. A sudden draught will bring on an attack immediately, which will continue for an hour or two, or even longer. One word may, perhaps, be desirable, relative to that from which it has derived its name, I mean hay, which brings on an attack, especially if it be new, almost instantaneously; and what is very remarkable and curious is, that I can always tell when any hay is approaching me, even if I do not see it. On one occa. sion, when walking in London with my friend Dr. Robert Growse, of Bildestone, I suddenly stopped, remarking that I would take any even wager that there was some hay close by. Before the doctor could hardly reply, a cart full of hay passed the end of the street down which we were proceeding.
