reply to "Ego," alias David w. Hutchinson.
In his first essay he purports to have written
1t as an act Of Justice especially for the medical
profession; in il he states that Mr.. Thomas,
was seen by i number Of medical men, and
with one exception there was but One opinion
In regard 10 the treatment of the case. Very
true. But he does not say 10 whom he alludes;
but the Inference is that il is TO hat he
could havs intended is idenf, that it isio pub
lish most iusome lie and gross sander, aud
sheld himself under cover Of the prof ssion,
by making the public believe that no had adop-
ted and pursued course Of Treatment which
was only CONDEMNED by me. But sucl, is not
the truth, as the only treatment pursued In the
case was that ordered by me, and only object
ed to by you. Oh! Infamous man, Granny
Hutehinson,) is ii possible that you are as
devoid of truth and Justice as skill In your
profession, feel confident that no well informed
surgeon would have closed the wound, sooner
than ii was, and has the impudence In defiance
OF host OF witnesses to the contrary 10 assert
that the tube was introduced and the wound
dressed according to previous determination.
Have you no shame, no modesty for you up-

non-interference with the case. Why at our

on what authority ever hoped in the case, on

more neglected than Mr.. 'rhunas which Is
censured and reported by MIR. l. ston to have
recovered, you tried 10 rdicule 1t with con
tempinous impudeuce, until you were declined
an answer, then said he had not seen Liston's
article Oh wsunds Of the throat, nor can you
find one article in Mr.. Lislon, OF any other
surgery to sanction your delay. YOU have
garbed letter from him, no doubt, in the hope
that among the Ignorant II sustains you, but
the only fair inference which you or any other
person can draw from his writing, is 10 close
the wound as soon as possible after tlse blood
has ceased to How, down the wind-pipe, and
the respiration fr,e. And he mentions as the
extreme extent required six, eight, or, p'ssi-
bly, twelve hours-noi quite iiiy-two, near two
days difference. Granny, Mhata well inform

he has made the astounding discovery that
