cessary to notice him. A man whose skill
and success have been known to the county,
perhOps, for 30 years, needs no such defence
fiom your attacks, M. D.'-your charges are
but recommendation Of his merits. Nor
does your uugentemanly aIIusion 10 les,finp

is knowingly false, and as utterly untrue, as
the story loId in the county that your prac-
Ilice was so extensive of late, that YOU had
run down and used up four horses in attend
ing 10 your patients! DR.. Wilson will con-
;inue to preserve the ever tenor of his ways.
nnheedful Of your personal attacks-unmind
ful of your selfish motives. And, in spte of
your petty aud ungenerous nsnualions, the
) sneers of private sIander, and the still shar,
per malice Of personal enmiiy, his character
will stand like rock in the bosom of the
ocean, unscathed by the silly "lIliputs'' that
tilt against il, and unmoved by The angry
dashing of The waves.
We wish it distinctly understood. too, hy
the profession, that we mean no con'emp, or
depreciation of the merits Of Diploma, or
he degree of Doctor of Medicine, when The
same is honorably obtained, and rghifu!ly
conferred. To mean so would be TO stuItGy
