To show the Influence and prejudice under which
Dr Alcott wrote the article IN question, let
qulre why he did not "cone oui like man and
cal DR. Hewett's name thus distinctly infriunn
the public whom he intended to ridcule Il is a

OF his DISCUSSES, and reveals his identity. Dr. Al

qulrresOme," and evidently requires depletion If
not OF the ueins, certainly Of tho "ropy drycl" Of tho
BRAINS. The Advertisement 10 which he audes,
has not been IN the newspapers for four or five
months. Has II taken all that time to coucoci the
venom he has at last discharged into the "Librorv
OF He ath? 2" Or was it done at last through the in.
fluence of the medical faculty, operating on a man
whose own merits could not raise him to disiinc-

That DR. Acott labors under that influence, is ev-

Now, this proves the point, that DR. Acott is nm

some cases, after the constitution had been broken

DIR Hswett has been a great cause of DESTROYING
the confidence tine public once had in the medical
faculty. No other has done as much to effect
this result for tbs last hundred years. And he has
done this, by performing cures in cases which have
