To the Editor Of the CITY Gazette:
SlR-Having listened to the entreaties of my poo
Spatients, am resolved if my health permits, to te
main in this city till the end OF July.
l. Totry to do them mere good.
.. To convince the inhabitants that the vile sp,

the Mayor Of this city, against similar be de
posted by all the gr at and ghty Doctors 5. e. Co
that restore to sight aged, mddle-aged, youn
persons and children, who were totally or PARTIAL
blind, tan they do; and that ain enabled to cure
greater numbe. of short, weak din-sighted person
during my short visit, than they do. Yet W II ao
my wise calumnators to call in their aid all the yer
desefvedly crsbr tied professors and Doctors OF all til

doctors be found in private practice, (wh0 are not
few the States of Kent cky, Ohio, Indiana and .ye
in Tennessee; where there are indeed two thre
famous doctors, whose names oug to be handed dow
M low as possible TO latest posterity.
4. 1t must be clearly understood that all the cure
if any, on both sides be proven shall have bee
performed " ithout the aid OF any surgical cratic

S. Those who really merit the epithes they have 6
literally applied 10 me, shall forfeit the 100 for
benefit OF he aims houses in this city, und the other pa
