MR. EDTToa.- Will yon please to publish the following sketch of trial, which has taken the rounds of the news papers, and which, in point of n,ollg- aeant pcrsecsstion, has never been surpass- cd. It will be seen, that the object is to overthrow the Thompsonian System of Medicine. but let me inform the spirit of vituperation, that, that system IS based upon ssthe radiant glory of inn mutablc truth and is very soon ito tri. umph Tn the spicndor of is acquis;- lions. whRpersnagper.
 1Thc sixth volume of the Massachu- eetts Reports contains the report of trial of one of these pests of the human race who infest the country called steam doctors, and who, in the course of their practice, kill more than they cure.- The defendant, We believe, is the invent CT of the Thompsonian system of medt. cIne-a system of the most downright empcriclsm, that was ever imposed up- on any people, and unau. which men become doctors by the mere purchase of q patent right. It is greatly to be re- sreted, first, that the people place so much confidence in their bold presnmn. tion, and, second, that the law cannot take hold of them. The following is :, statement of the case alluded to, which may amuse some of our readers, and place others On their guard against the pretensioas Of itenerait quacks.
