    I trust, therefore, my reader will give me his attention while I recapitulate in a very summary manner the means which have been hitherto employed in cupping, and the im- provements I have ventured to suggest, which 1 beg leave to mention have for their particular object the convenience of the army, the navy, and the country practitioner; for I can hardly suppose that those who have for a number of years practised the former methods in which they have acquired superior dexterity, will adopt any other. Nor is it to the general prac- titioner a matter of small concern; in the person properly qualified were to give during the season a short course of two or three familiar and practical lectures on this operation, the measure would be at- tended with the most beneficial results. It is at pre- sent too much neglected, and the attention of students ought to be more directed to it, especially if intended for service abroad.
