Ma. EDlTOR—Permit me, through the limits of your in-
valuable paper, to offer a few preliminary remarks on the
csefularess arising to society from advertising the cure of
certain maladies, by a particular description of medical
practitioner;, who are frequently stigmatised with the epi-
thet " disinterested impostors." There is a line of distinc-
tion to be observed, which appears evident to me, and I
think would do so to others, divested of prejudice, that is,
were the advertising practitioner a conscientious man, un-
sullied by avarice, always hearing truth for his motto, and
. who makes use of an advertisement as a vehicle to bring
forth the objects of indiscretion, that pine in misery, and
blush at th- thought of their case being known to their fa-
mily practitioner; and those unhappy objects are brought
forth, and restored to health, when they might have been
sacrificed, or left to wander their days in wretchedness.—
An instance of which I beg leave to annex in a letter ad-
<tressed to Dr. Kody, 38, Dean-street, Soho. London.

I have thought a plan might be devised, in which this abject,
