PARISH CASES.
To Mt Editor.

Sir.— I have watched with interest to see if any
action would be taken in the case of Wyk' Bryant
of Little Lonnen, reported in the paper early in
January last. According to the rep wt of the pro
ceedings. comespent upon the medical "lames letter
to the Boud the relieving ofthaw was freed from any
blame, the o dere he gave being admitted by the
doctor only in urgent cases. What however. of
David Bryant's case, referred to by Colonel Paget,
one of the guardian,Lat are the fac of the Cam!?
Bryant was ill, and the, parish ilactor's assistance was
ought. Medicine only was vent and after a •ew
days the man died unvisited by a medical man. If
report be true no medical attendant had aeon Bryant
since January, IMO.
On the 24th of December. 188 I, Bryant died, as the
present parish doctor admits. without bei g seen by
him, and yet he reports th cause of his death. Is at
thus implied that lei attended during his last illness
cue he had vever seen Is a medical man in tilled
in sending medeaine to a poor fellow (a stranger) nisni
an alleged message that the last parish tb ctor had
given him lots of medicine for gout and rheumatism
If it is true Mr. Wyke-Stnith never supplied medicine
or attended Bryant since January, ISM. and then
only supplied liniment for his injured knee ; if thus
say, for live years no medical man hail personally
attended Bryant, upon what ground did the parish
doctor certify that he attended the inan during his
I 4 illness, and further certify that he died from
chronic rheumatic rout and weak heart llow could
he have known this if he had not seen h'in! Surely
vending a bottle of medicine to a stranger is not
attending him. Is this the way parish patients are to
be treated 7 Is not this a case to be inquired in'o and
explained,—Yours obediently,
Wimberne, 2nd March.
