PULASKI, june 24th, 1871.
-----
Mr.. EDIToR:-I was very much
astonished this morning in looking
over your issue of the ed, at find
ling an article written by DIR. C. C.
Alternately, in which he has assum-
ed to make. wholesale crusade upon
every thing offered to the afflicted
for different diseases, except what
he happens to prescribe or appreci-
ate. It is great pity chat there
had not been born some person,
centuries ago, possessed with such
wonderful capacity that would en-
able him to enlighten the people
who chose to use any other rene
dies except those prescribed by the
doctor himself by which means
many good lives might have been
saved. I can but appreciate his
kind heart. The Doctor sets out
by telling your readers that @as
medical man, having tie public
veal at heart. Oh, what an affec-
tionate hearty and desiring to pro-
pagate. correct principles regarding
the diseases which afliet our race
and their remedies" &c, and then
goes on about mad-stones and mad
dogs and mad cats, at considerable
length, about which I am very little |
interested; however, if I am bitten
by any of those mad animals, I
shall give Mr.. Yancey cali about
as quick as DIR. Abernarhy would
if he were bitten, (that is if I have
as fast a horse as the DoctoE) To
make sure thing Of it 1 shall try
to employ the Doctor to pour his
constant stream of warm water on
my wound all the way to Mr.. Yam
cey's. But do 1 comprehend the
Doctor? He says, 81 desire to say
through your excellent paper, that !
there is no cure for hydrophobia
and only one preventive, to-wit: the |
prompt excelsior of the entire
wound inflicted DC, then goes on
and says, "when the wound is so To-
Gated as to render excelsior inn
practible then the application of a
constant stream of warm water may |
be of service" What? use simply |
little warm water, to cure a dis
ease which the doctor has said there
is no cure for, only by employing |
the doctor 60 cut it out? Well / |
shall have to swap two little horses /
for one big one, for me and the
doctor viii be compelled to ride the
same horse that he may be pouring |
on his constant stream of warm wa
ter ali the time. But l fear can
not employ the doctor; it would /
be so humiliating for a doctor Of |
his cloth, after doing so much in
propagating those true principles
which he talks about, to be com
PEELED to ride behind a man of my
jeans, and he win be compelled to
ride behind, for viii have to guide
the horse while his constant stream
of warm water is being applied
But alas after the doctor had per-
feetly demolished the unfortunate
possessor OF the mad stone, and
had licked up all the greasy spots,
and not having enough, looked
around and saw your unfortunate
writer Of this, and some other poor
fellow-January / belieye-and IN
dertOok to swallow us both at once. /
Said we conceal ali our failures but
any seeming cure is heralded forth
as marvellous beyond conception
Now, Doctor, am little like you.
I feel like hadn't enough, though
I have only licked you. Hope yon
win be as generous as the whale
which swallowed Jonah and that
your unfortunate friend may be
disgorged at the proper time, when
he viii 60 forth effecting cures
where the doctors fail, as Jonah
did. or course you've read all
about these little matters, being so
thoroughly posted away back to
the days Of astrology and NEGRO
nancy. Respectfully,
]. II. BRowNbow.
