TO YOU PERSONALLY.TheJournal of Manacknowledges with pleasure your co-operation during the past year, its trial trip. It presumes from your co-operation, that you are one of the very few truly progressive and large-minded mortals who really wish to lift mankind into a better condition, and who have that practical sagacity (which is rare among the educated) by which you recognize great truths in their first presentation before they have the support of the leaders of society. If among our readers there areanyof a different class, they are not expected to continue. The sincere friends of theJournalhave shown by many expressions in their friendly letters, that they are permanent friends, and as the present size of theJournalis entirely inadequate to its purposes, they desire its enlargement to twice its present size and price. They perceive that it is the organ of the most important and comprehensive movement of intellectual progress ever undertaken by man, and they desire to see its mission fulfilled and the benefit realized by the world, in a redeeming and uplifting education, a reliable system of therapeutics, a scientific and beneficent religion, a satisfactory spiritual science, and the uplifting of all sciences by Psychometry. But it is important to know in advance that all theJournal’spresent readers desire to go on in an enlarged and improved issue. You are, therefore, requested to signify by postal card your intentions and wishes as to the enlargedJournal. Will your support be continued or withdrawn for the next volume, and can you do anything to extend its circulation? An immediate reply will oblige the editor.RESPONSES OF OUR READERS.The generous appreciation of theJournal of Manby the liberal press was shown in the May number, as well as the enthusiastic appreciation of its readers. The proposition for its enlargement has called forth a kind and warm response from its readers, from which the few quotations following will show how well theJournalhas realized their hopes and desires. “I will try to get one or two more subscribers to what I regard as the best journal I have ever known, going as it does to the root of the most vital and most important interests of man, and dealing with great principles so vigorously and fairly.”—G. H. C. (a Southern author). “The intensely interesting subjects treated in theJournal of Mandemand more space.”—H. F. J. “TheJournal of Manis certainly the most valuable truth-giver I ever saw.”—J. T. J. “It is the only journal of the kind, and the most needed of any kind.”—O. K. K. “I will sustain the Journal of Man as long as I have a dollar.”—P. C.

It came first by mesmeric hypnotism, which was applicable only to a few, and was restricted by the jealous hostility of the old medical profession. Then came the nitrous oxide, introduced by Dr. Wells, of Hartford, and promptly discountenanced by the enlightened (?) medical profession of Boston, and set aside for the next candidate, ether, discovered in the United States also, but far interior to the nitrous oxide as a safe and pleasant agent. This was largely superseded by chloroform, discovered much earlier by Liebig and others, but introduced as an anæsthetic in 1847, by Prof. Simpson. This proved to be the most powerful and dangerous of all. Thus the whole policy of the medical profession was to discourage the safe, and encourage the more dangerous agents. The magnetic sleep, the most perfect of all anæsthetic agents, was expelled from the realm of college authority; ether was substituted for nitrous oxide, and chloroform preferred to ether, until frequent deaths gave warning.Nitrous oxide, much the safest of the three, has not been the favorite, but has held its ground, especially with dentists. But even nitrous oxide is not perfect. It is not equal to the magnetic sleep, when the latter is practicable, but fortunately it is applicable to all. To perfect the nitrous oxide, making it universally safe and pleasant, Dr. U. K. Mayo, of Boston, has combined it with certain harmless vegetable nervines, which appear to control the fatal tendency which belongs to all anæsthetics when carried too far. The success of Dr. Mayo, in perfecting our best anæsthetic, is amply attested by those who have used it. Dr. Thorndike, than whom, Boston had no better surgeon, pronounced it “the safest the world has yet seen.” It has been administered to children and to patients in extreme debility. Drs. Frizzell and Williams, say they have given it “repeatedly in heart disease, severe lung diseases, Bright’s disease, etc., where the patients were so feeble as to require assistance in walking, many of them under medical treatment, and the results have been all that we could ask—no irritation, suffocation, nor depression. We heartily commend it to all as the anæsthetic of the age.” Dr. Morrill, of Boston, administered Mayo’s anæsthetic to his wife with delightful results when “her lungs were so badly disorganized, that the administration of ether or gas would be entirely unsafe.” The reputation of this anæsthetic is now well established; in fact, it is not only safe and harmless, but has great medical virtue for daily use in many diseases, and is coming into use for such purposes. In a paper before the Georgia State Dental Society, Dr. E. Parsons testified strongly to its superiority. “The nitrous oxide, (says Dr. P.) causes the patient when fully under its influence to have very like the appearance of a corpse,” but under this new anæsthetic “the patient appears like one in a natural sleep.” The language of the press, generally has been highly commendatory, and if Dr. Mayo had occupied so conspicuous a rank as Prof. Simpson, of Edinburgh, his new anæsthetic would have been adopted at once in every college of America and Europe.THE OPEN COURT.PUBLISHED BYThe Open Court Publishing Company,Rooms 41 and 42,169-175 LA SALLE STREET,CHICAGO.B.
