to the Admins boy, although from its date
4, appears to have been written sixteen
days before the acciden, happened, and
twen,y.four days before the publication
of your notice. ...--.-. --
Notwithstanding this production comes
in name!ess shape, and appears from
the language used to emanate from DR..
Parcher, there is no doubt in my mind,
bu, this able document is the Joint stock
production of the self constituted Medi /.
cal Faculty Of Ellsworth, which recently
issued notice calling meeting Of the
Regular Doctors of Hancock County TO
organise an association, and doubtless for
the same purpose. tina, this farrago of
gbe. is thrust before the public.

command in replying 10 this vain and
impo,ent attempt to bolster up and pro-
long destructive system Of medical prac-
tice, founded in ignorance aud error, by
men who ought TO know better, aud would,
/ il their consciences aud understanding
could be reached BY any other argument
than lucre, pride and interest. Had they
labored as assiduously; had they sought
as diligently and faithfully for the jiscov.
cry Of truth, as they have to sustain a
barbarous system and for my overthrow
and destruction, they would know better.
| will now review their production
critically.
After accusing you Of design Of Ell.
logising Homeopathy they say, "you
puff the Homeopathic Doctor" This
doubtless, stirred the bile and brought up
the slang, which constant discharge 10,

Nextyou say. 1.-THE skull was fractured
and driven into the brain" Dr.. PareheI
said that himself-and no. one else-be

They then ask BY wha, means the skull

They next say, you pronounced llo-
mnopathy successful in the ease of til,
Adams boy, which, lin their opin,on,) is
going too far, and mare thaa caa be sus-
tanned BY truth" The boy is now alive
and well, and no one has ever intimate,d
that he received any other than llomeo
pathic treatment call tina, IIomropa.
THO success, which I presume was all you
meant. If the boy had died, or remained
an idiot, that would have been Allopathie
success, for they Immediately add that re-

They then acknowledge that the ex.cr-

but allege the want Of proof of the frac.

did not die as DR.. Parcher said he would
and as he should have done according t.

And now follows a sentence in thi,
anonymous production, evidently written
by DR.. Parchcr, as be was the only per.

into the wound, and which he did nearly

Although the Doctors judgement ap.
