Excerpt from The Rejected Cases: With a Letter to Thomas Wakley, Esq., M. P., On the Scientific Character of Homoeopathy I have been requested by Mr. Wakley, in returning your communications, to express how much he regrets his inability to insert them in the Lancet. Although he entertains himself opinions far different from those which you uphold, he would willingly have given your cases a place, had it not been for the determined opposition of the subscribers and readers of the Lancet to any thing in the shape of homoeopathy. When your case of haematemesis, [the fifth case referred to above, ] was inserted last winter, we received an avalanche of letters from all parts of the country, couched in such terfns as to make it next to impossible for us to insert any further communication of the kind. Mr. Vvakley's personal regard for yourself has induced him to hesitate about returning your cases but he has, at last, felt it imperative upon him to do so, and he has particularly desired me to convey to you his great regret at being compelled to take this course.
