![I had no other means than this of ascertaining who had used the Emulsion. But it is evident that in this way I must have sent to many who had not used it, and must have failed to reach a large nimiber of those who had obtained it through other wholesale chemists than Savory and Moore, through provincial chemists, and other indirect channels. [letter.] 84, Haeiey Stbeet, March, 1867. Dear Sir,—Allow me to direct your attention to the accom- panying Editorial note, which appeared in the Lancet, Nov. 17, 1866. It is clearly impracticable for any Medical Journal to publish separate reports of all the cases in which the Pancreatic Emulsion has now been used by diifereut medical men. I have, therefore, drawn up the enclosed questions to facilitate the collection of impartial evidence, as suggested by the Lancet, in a form in which it can be systematically arranged for publication within a limited space. If you will kindly fill up the enclosed Schedule at your leisure, and send it within one month from this date to the Royal Hospital for Diseases of the Chest, addressed to the Hon. Secretary, I will see that the results are fairly tabulated and published as soon as a sufficient nxmiber of reports has been received. I am, dear Sir, yours faithfully, Horace Dobell.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b22282233_0006.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
