NOTICE.

An error was made in the paging of the English edition of this Number at page 432, which was not discovered by the American publishers, until too late to rectify it. They mention this lest it should be supposed that there is a deficiency of 10 pages. The number is complete as it is, and as the Index has been made to correspond with the paging, no inconvenience will arise from it.

Some apology may also be thought due for the late appearance of this Number. This was occasioned by the miscarriage of a part of our English copy, and the temporary removal of our Printing Office-circumstances not likely to occur again.

We understand that the Central Board of Health is to be immediately dissolved-a

fact which gives us much pleasure, not from any hostility to its members, or jealousy of

their emoluments or good quarters in Whitehall; but on account of the cause of their

medico-political dissolution-the cessation of cholera in the Metropolis, as well as in most

other parts of the Kingdom.

The last measure that emanated from the Central Board, was the wisest and the best

that was ever engendered there-a recommendation to the Hospitals of the Metropolis,
and, consequently, to all other public Institutions of this kind, to receive cholera patients, in
future, as they would patients labouring under any other disease! This speaks for itself; and
happy would it have been for society, in this country, had "CHOLERA HOSPITALS" never
been projected, and had the sick been received into the public institutions already in exist-
When they were were filled, it would have been time enough to construct others
as appendages, but not as pest-houses, which frightened and prejudiced the poor against
such asyla. One thing is clear-that if it be right, in future, to receive cholera patients
in public hospitals, it would have been right in times past.

MEDICO-CHIRURGICAL REVIEW.

Numbers XXVII. and XXXI. of the present Series having been out of print for some
time, so that complete sets cannot be made up, the Editor will feel particularly obliged to
any Gentleman holding either of these Numbers, and not having the Series, to favour the
Publisher (Highley) with the said Numbers, when the full price will be returned, and much
obligation conferred.

Communications have been received from Dr. MACROBIN, of Aberdeen-from P. M.
LYONS, Esq. of Brighton-from Mr. BULLAR, and others, which are under consideration.

LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.

Dr. BooTT is preparing for publication, in two octavo volumes, to be published in
January, a Memoir of the Life and Medical Opinions of Dr. Armstrong, late Physician of
the Fever Institution of London, and author of Practical Illustrations of Typhus, and
Scarlet Fever; to which will be added, an Inquiry into the Facts connected with those
Forms of Fever attributed to Malaria and Marsh Effluvium.

Mr. CURTIS, Aurist to His Majesty, has in the press, besides a new Edition of his Essay
on the Deaf and Dumb, a Treatise on the Diseases of the Eye, with new Modes of Treat-
ment; with a Plate, shewing the connexion of the Organs of Hearing and Sight.
