EDITOR SENTINEL: SIR: In your
issue of April I'd, you refer your many
readers to the card Of one DIR. j. NJ.
Emmons, stating to the public that, ''he
is OF the Homeopathic School of Mcdi-
cine, and that he comes well diploma
tized." Thereby conveying to the
minds of your readers, that the above
named individual. holds a diploma
from a Homeopathic School OF Medi-
cince.
Now, sir, deny his being OF
any Homeopathic School of Medicine"
whatever. and In regard to his coming
well "diplomatized." you cen think as
highly of that as you see fit.
But on The part Of Homeopathy. I
simply rise to explain: Several years
ago. COMPLAINTS began to pour in from
England. France and Germany. and
finally from various states of our Union,
that incompetent persons were I'm
possession Of diplomas from certain
medical colleges in Pennsylvania. To
such an extent did this matter go. that
physicians In the east were looked up
on with suspicion because they hold
diplomas from Philadelphia.
Tho Allopathic School became great
ly annoyed. from tbe fact that many Of
the diplomas were given by an institu-
ton called the philadelphia Universi-
ty of Medicine" This name had been
selected from its similarity to the
pennsylvania University" an old and
an honored institution. The Eclectic
School was vexcd and mortified by the
fact that chief among these diploma
factories was the Eclectic Medical
College. rim Philadelphia. run by Prof
John Buchanan.
Finally. In 1871 aud 1872 the sale oi
diplomas by these colleges became SO
open and notorious that the Senate OF
Pennsylvania appointed committee
to investigate the matter. and the com.
mitiee after due investigation. present.
ed their report to the Pennsylvania
Legislature. and SO scandalous We're
Its developments that bills repeating
the charters of both those institutions
in Philadelphia were passed immedia-
tely. Now. In behalf OF Homeopathy,

do not claim either Of the above named
institutions. nor neither did they claim
to be Homeopathic Schools Of Medi.

Mr.. Smith also stated that Mr.. Corn

CARD FROM JUDGE COL

EDITOR SENTIN1L: Dear Sir: l see
Taxpayer" in your issue of March 26
would like the County Court to rise
and explain" certain Of its actions.
The first is. Why Judge Anderson is
allowed fifty dollars for paupers. when
the Poor House was near by to keep
them?
will anwser this first. Application
was made to the Court for assistance
from family sick and destitute, stat
ing at the same time Showing letters
to substantiatc the statemen), that if
they could only get to Kentucky their
children would support them. They had
certain property that we could make
use of at the Poor Farm. which we
took, aud drew warrant in favor of
Judge Anderson for $50 to purchase
tickets for said family to send them to
their children, and thus keep them
from being supported by the county.
The I'd question: Why parties bor-
rowing school money are allowed to
keep 1t until the interest Is double the
principalp
In answer TO this would say, It Is
because We cannot help ourselves. 1t
Is school money that was loaned ten or
fifteen years ago--most on personal
security-in some cases the parties are
dead, In other cases the parties are in
solvent-therefore the. Court cannot
collect them. although the bonds have
been In the hands of the County Attorr
ney for several years for collection.
3D.. "Tax-Payer" further asks: Why
was five hundred dollars awarded to T.
W. Collins for procuring swamp land
patentp
Taxpayer" says this is great deal
of money for a very little work. How
does Taxpayer know thisP Did Mr..
Collins ever tell him how little trouble
he had in getting the patentP ! am
sure he did not tell the Court. / know
that the Court has been trying for Is
or 20 years to get this land. and has
offered more than the sum paid, and
has failed. Mr.. Collins undertook the
job with the understanding that 1t
might be necessary to make trip or
two to Washington. besides paying for
help there. then II he failed to get the
land to receive nothing. believe the
Court has done good thing in getting
the 5000 acres OF land. even If 1t did
cost $500. Its value cannot be counted
in dollars and cents only. AS soon as
the land Is drained 1t will remove q
great cause of sickness from o large
portion of the county.
Taxpayer makes some very good
suggestions about cultivating small
fruit. &C., on the Poor Farm. all of
which has been attended to sometime
ago.
And now, Mr.. Editor, hope have
answered Taxpayers questions. He
further says that he is opposed to all
