Breschet's name mentioned in that Journal]

Concerning Amussat, my correspondent writes, that he was informed by
Madame Hahnemann, who converses in French more readily than her husband,
and therefore often speaks for him, that "he was not a physician,
neither Homoeopathist nor Allopathist, but that he was the surgeon
of their own establishment; that is, performed as a surgeon all the
operations they had occasion for in their practice."

I regret not having made any inquiries as to Marjolin, who, I doubt not,
would strike his ponderous snuff-box until it resounded like the Grecian
horse, at hearing such a doctrine associated with his respectable name.
I was not aware, when writing to Paris, that this worthy Professor,
whose lectures I long attended, was included in these audacious claims;
but after the specimens I have given of the accuracy of the foreign
correspondence of the "Homoeopathic Examiner," any further information
I might obtain would seem so superfluous as hardly to be worth the
postage.

Homoeopathy may be said, then, to be in a sufficiently miserable
condition in Paris. Yet there lives, and there has lived for years, the
illustrious Samuel Hahnemann, who himself assured my correspondent that
no place offered the advantages of Paris in its investigation, by reason
of the attention there paid to it.

In England, it appears by the statement of Dr. Curie in October, 1839,
about eight years after its introduction into the country, that there
were eighteen Homoeopathic physicians in the United Kingdom, of whom
only three were to be found out of London, and that many of these
practised Homoeopathy in secret.

It will be seen, therefore, that, according to the recent statement of
one of its leading English advocates, Homoeopathy had obtained not quite
half as many practical disciples in England as Perkinism could show for
itself in a somewhat less period from the time of its first promulgation
in that country.

Dr. Curie's letter, dated London, October 30, 1839, says there is "one
in Dublin, Dr. Luther; at Glasgow, Dr. Scott." The "distinguished"
Chrysaora writes from Paris, dating October 20, 1839, "On the other
hand, Homoeopathy is commencing to make an inroad into England by
the way of Ireland. At Dublin, distinguished physicians have already
embraced the new system, and a great part of the nobility and gentry
of that city have emancipated themselves from the English fash
