that directly or indirectly, beaIs upon my fepu-
tation, 1 beg of you the privilege through your
paper 10 answer it.
The first statement of any Importance made
by Moore. is utterly false. He says that several
persons from Milton township have been victim
lied to the amount of several dollars without
any benefit whatever. l have with
in the last three years treated eight persons in
Milton township. every one of them have en-
more than once, and every one of them
will take their oath that they have paid me in
settling, ,more.han asked because they thought
L did not charge enough for the work done for
them; and every one will say that have ben
Gifted them, and theJ still consider me their
ply s sician, and they arc the only ones ever
did doctor in Milton township. Every one OF
them will say 1 have diagnosed their case
correctly without seeing them. l dare any one
in Milton township to bring proof and publish
to the contrary. Next, he says farmer in
Milton addressed me letter representing him
self lady sufferer-this is again ialse Addison
Mckenzie never wrote me a let err representing
himself IL lady sufferer. Ii he hal he would only
made himself out representing a lie, and
should not have been to blame for his fraud
Below is the letter purporting to he from Ella
Cline, and is written in u very even lady's
or anything as well:
ELLA CLINEs LETTER,
MILTON. January 90 1878.

Now, il the writer of that letter had not been
aiIing for a year, had not taken considerable

Richard did not advise them to consult me, that
is another. II her circumstances were not
quite poor. and if the name was not Ella Cline,
then it is all lie aud a fraudulent misrepre-
sentation. Ifthe age was not "a years. who said
il? 1t was not I. As to the prompt payment for
the medicine. it was not prompt until all
other means had failed to obtain it Moore for

paid to me. l sent a card, addressed to Ella
Cline. with Ahese words upon it: lyon have

little more at the time than l got credit for.
Now will give the letter that Addison Nc
Kenzie did write. and leave your readers to
jadge what it was writted for. 1t is written in
q very different hand from the other,
ADDISON MC'KENzIE's LETTER.
MILTON. Feb 11th, 1873.
DIR. E. MAHAN, Ravenna. Ohio.
. Sir:--Strange, but true, your practice is but a
fraud. Now, sir, the letter purporting to he
from Ella Cline, was not hers. 1 was the insti-
gator OF it, and the hair l sent for examination

Now, as to the diagnosis. 1 claim it to be that

Now I have been in regular practice years

parts of the Northern States and have had in
some of the Territories, and have sent, and do
send more medicine through the Express
offices in Ravenna than all the other doctors
here now, and ask any person so inclined to

persons have treated. and write to them and
publish their statement, whether it be for or
