Doctor Thomas Beddoes, the celebrated English Physician, is a great reader of American books. He has abandoned the Old School on the question of Contagion, and become a complete convert to the non-contagiousness of yellow fever. In a letter to one of his correspondents he writes thus, ‘I do not know of any country in which so much had been done for Medicine as in America; if you except the introduction of Vaccine Inoculation, the most useful practice ever fallen upon.’
