asked him, "llavo We had any conNorsa-

months, and his answer was, "Not that

r.. Potter to bea base ialstcr and we
challenge this would>bc~grsduut To provo
anything to the contrary.
w. II. Potter says our attack wa, made
ON him because we once made fool of
ourself ia the literary society. We think
W. II. Potter, M. d., il the mpn who
made fool of himself lie owed tho so~

the non payment of which hc WAS by

enforced.
lie says he never supposed il was noe
essary Tor man to have his attendance

a. third-ratc medical school only five

again lied aud no knows it. We defy the
unprincipled scoundrel to prove his as

to tho fact that To the bost of our knowl-
edge and bciicfwe never tasted gin.
lie says, "pcrhnps / should bc able to

W, X. Potter has always paid his board

We notice that hc does not touch tho sub |

but instead of continuing himself to a fair
argument upon that question he tries to
injurc us personally, aud pluugcs himself
into personal controversy with us. ri
