THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE,

For MARCH, 1812.

THE

STATE OF HIS MAJESTY'S HEALTH.

HE Report on this subject, of which we gave an abstract in our Magazine for last month, (page 162,) was that of the Committee of the House of Commons; and, of course, should have been connected with our account of the proceedings of that House. "The Report from the Lords Committees appointed to examine the Physicians who have attended his Majesty, touching the state of his Majesty's health," and which was presented to the House by Earl Camden, and ordered to be printed, January 15, contains many interesting particu lars, of which we shall now give an abstract.

Dr. William Heberden thinks his Majesty's bodily health not far removed from its natural state-his mental health very much disordered his recovery improbable, but not hopeless.

Dr. Thomas Monro thinks his Majesty's bodily health tolerably good his mental health insane his recovery very improbable; does not expect his recovery; but does not entirely despair.

[ocr errors]

Dr. Samuel Foart Simmons thinks his Majesty's bodily health very good-his mental health much deranged his recovery improbable. Q. In what degree do you consider his Majesty's recovery as improbable?" A. It is difficult to say, be

cause in some cases recoveries so unexpectedly take place, that it sets all calculations at defiance, The proportion of recoveries in persons of his Majesty's advanced period of life, is much less than in earlier periods; but recoveries do sometimes take place in persons of a still greater age than his Majesty." Q. "Are you of opinion that his Majesty's recovery is

[ocr errors]

hopeless?" A. "Not hopeless." Q. Are you physician to Saint Luke's Hospital?" A. "I was for thirty years; and now am consulting physician." Q." Is there any regulation in that hospital with respect to the admission of patients after a certain age?" A. “Till within about three years there was not; persons of any age were admissible, but since that period no patient above seventy years of age is admitted. I have looked over the memorandums of all the Hospital cases that I have, where the ages of patients are accurately marked, prior to the regulation with respect to the exclusion of patients above seventy years of age; and I find that in the course of about thirty years, there were, out of six thousand two hundred and fifty-six patients, only seventy-eight who were of the age of seventy years and upwards; and that of these seventy-eight, only sixteen were discharged cured, which is in the proportion of one in five; whereas, of the others, nearly one half (rather more than four in ten) were discharged cured. It appears that of three hundred and thirty four patients discharged uncured, and re-admitted as deemed incurable, eighteen have been discharged cured, which is about five in one hundred. That, I think, shows the difficulty of fixing the degree of improbability. These eighteen persons had been for several years in a state of derangement.

Q. Were any of those eighteen above the age of seventy?" A." I think they were not, but I cannot speak positively without referring to books." Q." "Does Dr. Simmons know what was the cause of the regulation in consequence of which patients above the age of seventy were
