of them can
be reached without the active co-operation of my readers, which I most
earnestly request.
Prospectuses and specimen numbers will be furnished to those who will
use them, and those who have liberal friends not in their own vicinity
may confer a favor by sending their names that a prospectus or
specimen may be sent them. A liberal commission will be allowed to
those who canvass for subscribers.
Enlargement of the Journal.
The requests of readers for the enlargement of the Journal are already
coming in. It is a great disappointment to the editor to be compelled
each month to exclude so much of interesting matter, important to
human welfare, which would be gratifying to its readers. The second
volume therefore will be enlarged to 64 pages at $2 per annum.
"Irene, or the road to Freedom." 612 pages, $1; published by H. N.
Fowler, 1123 Arch street, Philadelphia; called the "Uncle Tom's Cabin
of Woman Slavery." Ostensibly a novel, it is a _doctrinaire_ book,
presenting a series of almost impossible incidents to enable the
characters to present their ideas of woman's rights and wrongs and
conjugal relations. The full development of the writer's doctrines
(who is a woman) is postponed to another volume. The ideas in this
would please only the most extreme radicals. The Journal is
over-loaded with its special themes, and has not room for discussions
of such subjects.
COLLEGE OF THERAPEUTICS.
The eighth session is now in progress with an intelligent class. The
ninth session will begin next November. I do not approve of medical
legislation, but if it could be considered just to prohibit medical
practice without a college education, it would be much more just to
prohibit magnetic and electric practice without such practical
instruction as is given in the College of Therapeutics and at present
nowhere else.
