time have attended the lectures Of all
those professors: For no person can,
or ever did, receive Diaphlorna from
the university without study ing6 years

Note.-The law Of Pennsylvania
does not oblige any student Of medicine,
to take Diaphloma in order to practice
physic, and if he fails in the attempt no
is rejected and published in the papers
with disgrace-If his abilities are ads-
quate to the task he receives il with ap-
plause and is published with great honor.
All these papers Of Recommendation,
&c. that ! have mentioned here, have
in my possession and can be seen at any
time. --~..-
tshould neehave thought it necessary
to have published my credentials, bpt
much has been said by my antagonists
respecting the truth Of zach papers; and
ID Justice to myself and my friends, have
thought proper to commit them to print.
and from further advice of nv friends,
am disposed to insert the following ex-
tract, taken from the Philadelphia papers
of Relf and Duane, published in Fehru-
arv and Mar,h lSoS.-By some gentle
men who Published it without nv know
ledge, but they have been pleased to \
subscribe their namesTto the paper and
the places or streets where they reside
who are merchants in Philadelphia ofre-
speet and willing to answer to every thing
they have said. .,-.-
