By GAVIN MILROY, M.D., &c. .. The appJ?arance of Dr. Milroy’s Pamphlet is exceedingly well-timed We regard nnh- hcation of Dr Milroy’s Pamphlet, containing, as it does, so large an amount of interesting information, and furnishing such strong evidence of the perfect safety with which a thorough reform international policy may be undertaken, as likely to prove of great public the f^incTtion of the Pest itself> can more efFectuallv promote this intercourse (between the countries of the Levant and of Europe) than the establishment of the fact that thp Plague is not contagious or infectious, to the degree which calls foTZy^ extraordinary^Guards ShrSR A* K Tn6 at^empt t0 estabRsh this doctrine has been made in a very able Pamphlet iust S£S“ &D^ MlLE°Y-a Pamphkt WhiCh tbi»k i8 all fh,“'m!ttR°T haS taken.the ReP°rt of the Ro)'al Academy of Medicine of France, together with r!ad!hleT MSrPrrV10US y accumulateii> and thrown the net results into the shape of a very Ittemnt .P„ Tt .
