We feel a pleasure in announcing to the Public any new and useful discovery. - We are informed that Dr. John Elliot, of Newman- Street, the ingenious Author of several discoveries in chymistry and physiology, has invented a preparation from the substance called Manganese, which he has found, by a variety of trials, to be the most certain remedy yet known in inflammatory and putrid fevers whether eruptive or other. The discovery, it seems, was suggested to him by the known chemical properties of that substance, in conjunction with his own theory of the animal œconomy. He does not pretend that it is alike powerful in every species of fever, or that it is always efficacious without the assistance of other rememdies; these are circumstances of which he can only judge from a review of the patient's case. But experience, we are told, authorizes him to assert, that it is the most effectual remedy that he has yet tried in the disorder mentioned; and only requests that he may be allowed the advantage of being called in as early as possible in the disease, as he can be less answerable for the efficacy of the medicine, in proportion as the fever has made greater ravages on the constitution.
