TO THE PUBLIC.
sTyHERE has been a great excitemen

for giving unwho]esome medicines, and
unchristian conduct by keeping it secret
and defraud; when this charge was brought
in the Church it was rejected by the preju-
dice of the Pastor for fear the secretwould
be found out, and people would know
what kind of man Mccullough was.
Well may the people of the world say
their religion is as good as Mccullough S,
he can be church member and do any
thing, because he has cloak to cover up
his secret transactions, and they have none.
Now you can see-how they have SNUG
gled up this transaction in the Church,
when they knew that he had wronged me,
and God knows that he will have to give
an account for this at the day of Judge.
ment; but Eph. Griffith is not much bet
ter, when he would let him do things and
keep them secret, for he was concerned in
the transaction of getting part of the
money. .. =; t..r-5t-

| Mr.. A. G. Coon & Co.--Sur: I take
the liberty of addressing o. few lines to
you, informing you that there has been
different article of medicines sent me from
which I ordered, although it was labeled
the sams that ordered, or in other words
| requested you to put me up / lb. Of
Ext. Traxicum, andsit appears that need
I lb. of the Ext. of Belladona instead, al
though it was labeled Ext. Traxicum, and
as put full confidence in the labelling on
the medicine, and having patient that
was in need of such prescribed it unto
him and it proving to be Belladona was
attended with very bad and alarming con-
sequences unto the patient, although he
is now recovering, and it has been attend
ed with considerable of expence to the
patient as we'll as the cause of suffering,
and being confined to his bed for con-
siderable time, the case became so alarm
ing that we had DR.. Hoover, of Barnes
vile to see him distance from here Of 16
miles, but fortunately for US the medicine
was not taken as prescribed, for I order
cd five gr. pills, and only 2 were taken,
when if the three had been taken, in all
probability it would have been attended
with fatal consequences; requested Mr..
Thos. Armstrong to call and see you, and
he has delivered, the note to me that you
gave him, and as you wished me to call
when would be in the City, and you
would mako it all right. also you wish to
have some medicine returned so that you
might find out the Clerk that labeled it, as
L am not in the City very often, have
authorized Thos. Armstrong to attend to

which will be S25 along with the messen-
gers expences which is five dollars; these
things will have to pay in order to keep
myself out of difficulty in the way of law
| ask you to make the above amount and
send to me, in order that / can pay the
above mentioned bills as it was all brought
about through the carelessness Of the Ia
beling, ask nothing for my own trouble,
although Iwould not that sucha thing had
happened for ten times the above sum,
for it has and will continue to have bear
ing on my practice, if il, becomes. public
perhaps while here stay, l don't wish to
have any difficulty in the way of law, or
hard thoughts, and therefore hope that
you will comply with the above request,
[ send the same article of Ext. back with
the same label, I also send back the wine
of colchicum as directed, the wine of the
seed and from the label it. may either be
the wine Of the seed orroot, you will please
label it and send it back, was in the act
of prescribing it when I observed the ma
ture of the label, although on the bill of
drugs it says wine of seed, and if it is the
wine of the seed you will send it back, if
it is not, you will please send instead of
the wine of seed. You know there is
. quite difference in the size of the dose
Yours, Respectfully,

friends, and it is only, for their respect Of
me that it has not become public.

Now you can see where the justice is
done to his patient when he got the money
from Mr.. Good and paid Hoover, then
took ten dollars from me. for Hoover S
account, and kept it secret, and applied
it to his use not letting me know anything
about his secret transaction, but when
found out this secret, I went to him and
asked him if ever he had got money to
pay Hoover from any other person only
the ten dollars that l gave him, he said
he never had, but on the. trial in the
Church, 1 proved that he had got money
from Mr. Good and paid Hoover ten dol
lars and Eph. Griffith five dollars, and
tried to keep it hid from me, for him and
me settled, this ten dollars was not men
toned, but on the trial he said he had kept
back as much of the account as covered
that ten dollars and fetched the balance
and settled. 80, 49,.
Is this according to Law or justice? but
the session thought it all right, some per-
SON had told him to do, SO, and keep it a
secret therefore they could not censure
him, this is making him a machine,
he is not accountable for what he docs.
This is the decision of the session; a
person may do anything in their
Church and it is all right'if another per-
son lets them do it and keep it secret;
and to help it along Nc Donald said he
