MR.. WILLIAMS, OCUtJST
NOW AT THE JEFFERSON HOUSE, JEFFERsoN STREET,
LOUISVILLE.
To the Editor of the Louisville .4dpertSer:
SlR-lt appears by the observation, of the Editors
~ of the Nashville Presbyterian, Union and Trans
CRYPT IA well as the editors of the Memphis Enquirer,
that the "old Gentleman is among the Doctors This
is proved by his kingy rage knowing that his time is
are able TO judge for themselves what puIs and
impos'tona. The worthy editors who Doctors,
the proprietors, editors sub-edtors of the above
named journals, call every letter from persons have
restored to sight in tina above places, pulls.
j. The fnct is, that never had such great SUCCESS
within so Limited period ten twelve days One
who was aged about ten years. who had only the
light from hi4 birth, began to to follow his master
to my hotel, instead of being obliged to be led by him.
Two young ladies', who had eachlost the sight of
eye, one fer ten wears and the other for nearly
years, having both OF them the other eve very weak:
We, each Of those young ladies began with both
eyes, which benefit pledge myself still continues ex
ccpting they are under the influence dominat of
the Medical Doctors. Another is the daughter of
respectable merchant, whose name am bound never
TO MENTION las he paid me my fees), who said she had
lost the sight of one eve from the age of months
but that she begins to read large letters with the
other eye completely shut This the doctor editors
knew, as the gentleman told me himself he had con-
dnced his daughter to the office of the medical editors
thAt they might be informed of this fact The last
shall mention ia an elderly gentleman by the name of
Yount, nearly seventy of age, who declared pub
cly by letter, which he took to all the different offices
in Nashville but one and himself told me he had paid
for the insertion whatever they demanded, who dcclar-
ed III that letter that lie ha otallY deprived of
the sight eff one ave from ks after his birth,
which his mother stated to him occasoned by the
measles small pox; that nov ne could not only see
the light Of the sum- for the first time that he recollects,
but the stars also, and beginning to distinguish
many objects; and did, before left that city, give ma
ny proof that he could walk about the streets
with the other eye completely closed. He said he had
been member OF the Methodist Episcopal Church for
nc'ry forty years. and thnt his word never doubt
ed through the whole course ofhis life.
?. repeat tfexI had greater success than at
Nashville, and that the medical and cerca! doctors
had never before SO r1ac reason te be enraged. The
pous Indignation OF the Rev. clerical DIR Smith proves
when ne stated to rue that about six past he
converted from being perfect ndel to believe in the
doctrin of The Bible, that he have made trifing
errortlat must have meant to say, tn before tho
end Of sig years to come he should be converted from
his nfdey, the spirit of the true minister of the
peaceful and benign doctrines Of the Christian religion
does rrt breathe out destruction, rage calumuv and
falsehooa 10 please his medical friends, against the
man whom liz knew had done much good, and no in
jury to any one All the inhabitants Of Nashville spoke
of The great success had, except the medical DEBTORS
Most of them also had been informed by Mr. Youpt of
s. The famous Go'iah S. oftflis town. pretends that
have los, the lasrels gained in the Norti since my
arrival in the Southwest. This proves iewevcrI Ind,
and that kept them until arrived in this Section. If
in the south and southwest and still hone to wea,
them on my very youthful brow the day leave in
spite of the vuuperation of the greut DIR S. if NAV
judge from the MANY ave already benefited in Ills
city within three days.
4. The object Of the present is to inform the med;
cal Goli"hs and editors of the Republican and Trans
byteran and of the Union, of Nashville as well as Tho
editor and sub medical editor of the Memphis Enourer
rs we'll es Mr. Prentice, the editor of the Louisville
Journal, aud also the medical Golia editor oC ,h;s
city, the great DIR s., that shall bring actions against
them all. fer vituperaton Islander calumnv ilnnedi-
atey after my arrival in New York. as well az against
their amabe bre hrcn the medical Golials the north
now bind myself by PROMISE neverto quit this happy
land of Liberty until have brought tho noses of all
my medical Goahs of the morrill, as well as the south
and the west to the grin1sone! The afflicted there
fore, may calculate on finding during the wcole of
next year in New York, where letters post paid, and
no others, will be to reach me.
S. To inform the public that the puff, so called
which the Rev clerically converted udeI pretend was
written for him, was written than week prior
and intended for the Rev. d. Howell who read it in
my presence without manifesting any Interpretations
on the contrary took it to his study aud condensed in
the way he did, which he said he thought would an
wer my purpose better he delivered them both t, me-
without pretending that wanted to bride him from his
duty, as never could presume to offer that gentleman
or any other, any money for stating facts The Rev
Doctors own statement is before the public: had he not
examined all my diplomas, &c. &c. with gentleman,
an intimate friend of his, well the whole of my
patients, in company with another clergyman, and
found them all to be authentic and all my patients to
be more or less benefited he never could have been
induced by total stranger to draw up such article

Mr. Struggled, editor oflle S w c Advocate.
. o. NO wonder the clear sighted medical Goliahs of
Nashville took the ala. .; and therefore used their CT
ors TO join with them The powerful, athletic, phys
G"l and intellectual force of the said obcconvcr,cd
clerical lnhdel. We read in the Bible that % is
known by its fruits dare say the converted inide
has preached from that passage.
L. tie evidently wanted to establish his moral chr
acier man, by showing that he was above being
blibed. Let whether the sum of Thirty pieces of
silver will apply to him well us ii we'll applied

that number of pieces of silver My answer is that

Containing two or three columns of closely printed
matter which to be repeated three OF four tunes
in tile Presbyterian Union and Monitor journals, had

least $500, his regular fee, instead OFFS 0, which, in all
he would have gladly received Ms his fee
and not asa BRIDE. On the contrary, if had been

g. Had the Rev. Doctor been really converted to
The Fcliefof the doctrines of the Saviour he would not
have promised to come and examine NV patients with
put keeping his word, as have always foand every
minister of the gospel Jealous to do.
3. Had he been really converted, he would not pub
icly have spoksn against the American institutions
Which, it is well KNOWN numerous and which
are superior 10 many in some parts of Europe. His
conduct so much disguised young literary ch,r-
'ccrs, as to be scarcely restrained from furnishing him
On the spot, by laying violent hands on him.
The Rev. gentleman, though Scotchman, is without
Excuse, unless he is callmnatcd), although he may
