    t “ Quand on entreprend les grandes nouveautes, quand on veut produire une doctrine superieure a la science commune, il faut s’attendre il se voir contester meme la science commune, et le m6rite ordinaire est toujours refuse k qui fait preuve d’un m6rite extraordinaire.”—C. De Remusat, RevtiedcsDeuxMondes, T. xviii. p. 20. “Tout est individuel dans le domaine de I’esprit. Se laissent emporter par la logique d’une pens6e inflexible dans quelque r6gion inexplorfie, les grandes d6couvertes ont toujours 6t6 faites par des esprits solitaires.”—Id. T. xxi., p. 370. CONSUMPTION, As Engendered by the Breath Rebreathed, ITS ABSOLUTE PEEYENTIOU AND POSSIBLE CUBE. BY HENRY MAC CORMAC, M.D. Second Edition, Price Six Shillings, Cloth. London : Longmans, and all Booksellers. The * ithor of this Work, aware of the many difficulties that attend the recognition of most new truths, appeals to every thinker and inquirer in behalf of his momentous views. Proceeding on the sure basis of in- ductive reasoning and direct experience, he claims to have proved that Consumption and Scrofula ensue, alone, from the respiration of air already breathed, and from no other cause or condition, whatever, thus bringing these diseases for the first time within the range of science, and ensuring their extinction when we will. “Dr. Mac Cormacs theory has much to sustain it. The practical proofs merit the deepest consideration.”—Virchow, Archiv, xi. “ This is the very latest English work on the subject, and we hazard little in saying that it is the best. So much medical logic and common sense are rarely met with.”—Reese, Amcr. Med. Gazette. “We hesitate to accept the Mac Cormac Law in its absolute exclusiveness. But it would be an immense step if his honest, vehement outspeaking could be brought home to every master and mistress in these Islands.”—Med. Times Gazette. “ Positive good must arise from the difTusion of his doctrines in every clime, and among all ranks of men. The chapter on Prevention is so .admirably c.alculated to do positive good, that we earnestly urge it on the attention of our readers. In fine, the work is most able, exhaustive, and convincing. ”—Dublin Med. Press. “We commend the tran.slation of this important (anregende) work to the best . attention of German practitioners. The chapter on the cause and prevention of the malady is of the utmost moment.”—Virchow, Archiv, xv. “ This doctrine gives of necessity a right to the discover)' of the tmc cause of Tuher- _ cular Consumption, and of the only rational treatment of the malady.”—Gaz. des lldp.
