چکیده
Sin.?I have had much pleasure in reading Surgeon-Major Davis's article on the above subject, and, as he asks for results, I beg to inform him that in three cases which have lately been under my care dry cupping was used with advantage in all after the cold" douche, and in one of the cases sinapism in addition.

In the paper on this subject you did me the favour to publish in May 1873, 1 And I omitted to mention the use of cupping with scarificator in the fatal case there detailed. On referring to my notes I find it produced no impression, the patient was too far gone for any remedial measures to be of use. My apothecary, Mr. Ilottinger, informs me that he has seen this practice in use so far back as 1858.
