September 8, 1856.
have Just read an attack made by DIR. d. H.
Reese il, his monthly publication, upon DR.. Rob-
ert Hunter of this city, endeavoring in the most
nncourteous manner, and by the most paltry
bubble, to injure DIR. Hunter through me; al
though Dr.. Reese knows that attribute to Dr.
Hunters treatment my case by Inhalation,
and to no other case, the saving of mysife, and
the uninterrupted good health have enjoyed for
more than two years.

which facts DIR. Reese knows well
DR. Hunter never asked me to publish a state

any time within two years, that is, since felt
that my health was permanently re-established,

columns of Commercial Adsertiser, because

DIR. Reese, tat least my case was the one alluded

of the Commercial Adrertiser; Jones, one of
the proprietors of the Duly Times; Bennett
editor and proprietary of the Herald, and 9th

Now, although Dr. Reese knew that was
farft ff
tiser job printing Office, he wifully distorts the
sentence, making it apply to my brother, and on
that bubble assails DR.. Hunters vcracity in the
grossest manner. Asserting that my brother

years, and that he was .neyer threatened by
Hunter ut all. And yet On. Reese knew that
also had been his patient until found no BEN

hope had pretty well left me, consulted Dr.
Hunter, of s2S broadway, and was cured by
his treatment.
The latter part of 1858, / was attacked with
pleurisy, so called by DIR. Reese, who attended
me, and advised me to 60 South. / went to
Charleston, S. c., remained month-f6nnd no

ued sinking, losing flesh and appetite and daily
growing more helpless and hopeless Myiex-
pectoration was very bad, attended with blood
my cough racking, night swcats profuse. In
Tact had AL the worst symptoms of diseased
lungs. And so little benefit had ever derived
from the practice then pursued that / gave M
all hope of living, and all use of medicine sold
out my interest in the printing office and looked
for my death, from which thought no earthly
means could then save me.
Such was my condition when was told of
the success of DR.. Robert Hunter and advised
to consult him without delay. did so. He
examined me-told me my case was a serious
one-gaye me no promise more than 10 do his
best for me, and put me at once under active
treatment by inhalation. This was in February.
1854. A few days satisfied me that the nedi.

rectly on my disease. The worst symptoms di-

Are these not f;tcts for which to be gratefuls-
Moreover, DR.. Hunters kindness and attention
TO me during that trying time can never be
forgotten.
Now all these facts Dr. Reese knows as well
with him more than once on the subject, and al
ways saw il seemed to annoy lin. How then
can he ignore my case In his last attempt to in

is only thus brought before the public to repel
