[ADVERTISEMENT.] HOMOEOPATHY AND ALLOPATHY. To the Editor of the New Zkalandeii. Si r< —As sense of duty to tbe public seems to be tbe order of the day, allow roe a small space in your columns to give publicity to my sbare of that sense of duty both to the public and to the march of intellect. Upwards of eighteen months ago, I was examined by one of our popu ar Allopathic practitioners, who pronounced me labouring under enlargement of the heart. I was of course alarmed at such a verdict, and requested to become his patient, when to my farther astonishment, lie told me be could do me no good by medicine ; but with great care I might live tor some time. At a subsequent interview with him, he gave roe the consoling advice -to prepare my house. But life is sweet, although it was growing painful to me through bodily infirmity; and while hoping against hope, our Homoeopathic practitioner arrived. I visited him as a forlorn hope, he told me I was diseased in the heait, but took me as a patient ; and 1 have patiently attended him, the result of which is, that from a man to all appearance going fast to his grave, now I can follow the most laborious part of my trade, without the least extraordinary beating of the heart or any other unusual motion of the organs of the body. When I went to Dr. Fischer first, the slighest exertion would cause great agitation throughout the whole system, particularly the diseased organ. These are facts which have been elicited from me Ly observing some gross contradictions which appeared to the publio. Youre, &c, Daniel M'Clukky, Stonemason. Auckland, 20th Oct., 1854.
