It is truly gratifying to me to be able now
to add that many other of the most exalted
members of the Faculty have honoured my
movement in the question with their approbation.
I consider it a public duty further to state, that Mr. Harvey, whom I have named in the 43rd page as my kind medical adviser in the cure of Corpulence, is not Dr. John Harvey, who has published a Pamphlet on Corpulence assimilating with some of the features and the general aspect of mine, and which has been considered (as I learn from correspondents who have obtained it) the work of my medical friend. It is not.
I am glad, therefore, to repeat that my medical adviser was, and is still, Mr William Harvey, F.R.C.S., No. 2, Soho Square, London, W.
WILLIAM BANTING.
April, 1864.
