To the Editor of the City Gazette:
g lR-Having listened to the entreaties of nv 200
~ patients, am resolved, if my health permits to re.
main in this city till the end of July.
l. To try to do them mere good.
2. To convince the inhabitants that the vile en-
thes the Medical Goahs S. &c, have applied to se
belong to them, as their lawful right.
3. 'rh am roady to deposte two hundred dollars
in notes of the U. S. Bank in the hands of his Honor
the Mayor OF this city, against similar to be de
posted by all the gr at and m ghty Doctors S. e. Co
that restore to sight more aged, mddle-aged, vouns
persons and children, who were totally or partially
blind, than they do; aud that ain enabled to cure

during my short VISIT than they do. Yet will ALLOW
nv wise caumniators call in to their aid all the yer,

in Tennessee; where there are indeed some two rthre

if any, on both Sides must be proved shall have bee

s. Those who really merit the epithets they have 8
literally applied to me, sall forfeit the $500 for til
