therefore, the warm advocates and promulgators of
the new doctrines TO benefit society will not object
to be party to it,
The UNIVERSITY MEDICAL ScHooL-Thls anu
sing institution still continues to publish its famous
Gard" and 10 threaten us with prosecution for
$4,000 damages, for what has been done and said
on its past policy and course in this journal If any
one has suffered damages, we believe that we are
the party, and should, in justice, bring the suit
against the Medical School
On the first organization of this institution, the
summer of 1911, Docts. Pattison, Bedford and Re-
vere frequently called upon us in person, and as
frequently invoked the aid of pen and paper for
their enterprise. When the arrangement was made
with Doct Mott, we were invited to petit souper,
which was given at the house of Doct. Bedford, in
celebration of the event. We happened not 10 go,
however, because care little Cor eating and less
for drinking, and abominate all carousals Well,
when the School opened, we worked, wrote, la
bored, euogized, and published many articles writ
ten by Doct Pattison in favor Of the enterprise.
On the advisement OF the Professors, we started
the "New York Lancet''-we paid for reporting
their lectures-expended probably nearly $1,000 in
the cause-and not even to this day have they IL
quidated all their advertising bills.
What was the return, or the gratitude OF these
generous men, for such acts on our part? Why,
they were hardly under way before one of their
amlabe professors commenced prosecution in
chancery to prevent the publication of medical lee
lures, which they themselves had advised to be
done. They had some incipient quarrels among
themselves, and they kindly sought to discharge all
their spleen upon us, a requital for the favors we
had done them. Not content with that they con-
trived, during the late summer, to deneunce us and
our reporters in their several cards-and when we
replied to them with facts and statements, that
unanswerable they pass over the merits of the case,
threaten suits and prosecutions, and procure the
rival newspapers to abuse us like pckpockets.
Is this the way to advance science! is this re-
quital for early efforts in aid of their enterprise!
Is this generous-manly -just-or even christian
like conduct If this is the way to advance the
of medical science will see soon the issue
of the approaching campaign between the Univer-
sity School and the Crosby street School. We shall
give ullhistory of this subject next week
