| To he Editor Of tie CITY Gazette:

cpaticnts am resolved, ifmy health permits to re.

l. To try to do them mere good.
:. 10 convince the inhabitants that the vile epl
hets the Medical Goahs S. &c, have applied to ne,

3. That am roady deposite two hundred dollars,
in notes of the u, 5. Bank, in the hands of his Honor
the Mayor of this city, against similar sum to be de
posted by all the or at and m ghty Doctors s. e. Co.
that restore to sight more aged, mlddle-aged Young
persons and children, who totally or partially
blind than they do; and that am enabled to cure u
greater numhe' of short, weak ur dm-sghtcd person
during my short visit, than they do. Yet will ALLOW
my wise caluniaors to call in to teirad all the very
descrvedIy celebrated professors and Doctors OF all the
med al colleges as well all the doctors and ounck
doctors be found in private practice, who are not,
few in the States OF Kentucky Ohio, Indiana and .ven
i'll Tennessee; where there are indeed some lthrs
famous doctors, whose names Dug to be handed dow
AS low as possible to latest pOsterity.
A. 1t MIST be clearly understood that all the cures
any, both sides, must be prove1 shall have been
performed without the aid OF any surgical eratior

s. Those who really merit the epithets they have $,
literally applied to me, shall forfeit the $500 for til.
benefit OF The aims houses in this city, and the other par
ty shall fake back his $20O, whoever he or the,

should prove one of the successful candidates, vii
fulfil the old proverb, and give the 'od gentleman his
due!
6. AT all events | would advise the last named Cox
liah S. suffer that letter stand alone as it sont
for 'simpleton well ''sapient' both YESTERDAY
and today; but advise him to aod to it its Legitimate
companions placed before it, in alphabetical ordes
then the Independent inhabitants of the city would al
