veracity, skill, and success, is further enhanced
by the following extract from the N. Y. CONNER

Jones and Clayton are concerned. And it is
well known that the proprietor Of the Herald.

ed, has repeatedly vouched, in the editorial col
umns Of his Journal, for the efficacy Of DR.. Hun

Medical Gazette is truly unfortunate in his
method of controversy. The viRdication Of DIR.
