    TO . . . v7. c fl iX;.. W. MORTIMER, Eso. SURGEON, &C. BRISTOL. My dear Sir, I feel great pleasure in laying before you a Translation of Three Memoirs, presented me by my friend Dr. Coindet, of Geneva, illustrative of the beneficial effects of Iodine (a new remedy) in Bronchocele and Scrophula, with the fullest con- viction that you will, in the course of your extensive practice, give it a free and impartial trial. Should you rind it a remedy deserving of public confidence, or any way tending to the removal of so wide-spreading and general a disease in this country as Scrophula, you will, I am confident, agree with me, that it cannot be too soon introduced into gene- ral practice; on the other hand, should it prove of little or no utility, or be attended with disastrous results, it cannot be too quickly discarded.
