    fact, that Homoeopathy is a part of the Divine Truth : an axiom, demonstrated elsewhere.* Though Homoeopathy is thus efficient, many, and those often the enemies of Homoeopathy, attempt to discredit it, because it is not 'all efficient. If any patient dies under homoeopathic treatment, they in- sinuate that death came because of the 'want of active treatment: though perhaps the very objectors have had relatives or friends die of the very disease, and though the registrar's tables show that the dis- ease has been decidedly fatal in the common, this miscalled active-treatment, practice. All the cures performed by homoeopathic means are not remem- bered : all the victories gained are swallowed up in the one unsuccessful repulsion of Death. This is prejudice. It must be expected for a few years. Homoeopathy must bide its time. JOHN EPPS, M. D. 89, Great Russell Street, April 1, 1842. [N. B.
