Guilty Oy reason o. great iuudnluhtlOu
and swelling all along the right lower
maxillaTy bone, mainly on the external
surface. Her teeth could not touch close
except from the second bicuspid back on
this side below, as described, This Ou-
ter part being higher and partly loose
from the main maxillaTy, and keeping
the teeth generally from coming to-
gether without great pain. l took hold
of this and found ii to be detached and
broken. 1 inquired of the way it was
produced, and she told me that DR.. A. j.
DOuds had been applied to to extract the
first lower molar. That no other pain
or trouble had ever been there until
this tooth decayed all over the grinding
surface. This tooth, L found on eXami-
nation, was somewhat necrOsed at the
roots. She said her doctor took hold of
it with hook and tore it out sideways
towards her cheek; and he was very mad
and went and sat down and read anews-
paper in another room, and that 1t was
a long time before she could walk; that
he refused to look at II, and then
three days after, after sending for her
doctor to come to her house, and he re-
fusing to go. She came to me for help.
told her her jaw was broken, and not
wanting any of DR.. DOuds of that kind,
took her to DR.. Leininger, whose IOfiice
was near by, and called his attention to
the broken process. He admitted 1t and
promised to see after it carefully. L told
him it should be well braced, and advis-
ed the removal of the bicuspid, which
was about on the line of the break,
which he did; and to him she made
about the same complaint about Doctor
DIS abuse. did not see her for several
weeks, until on her way to see DR.. L.,
she was in great pain, and the parts
slOughing and 40 support in the shape
of bandage, except cloths contain
ing no liniment. Again about
June heard by DR.. l.. that
she must die. She was taken to
the hospital at Cleveland with broken
jaw, and following it necrosis of the
bone, mot cancer as was stated by two
physicians here five months afterO and
consequently blood poisoning and death
at this time it it is said her doctors who
had after been appealed to from the
poverty stricken family, refused any
aid except dollar or two, and would
not visit her. This l am told by two
members of the family. And now
about the physicians at the Cleve-
land Hospital. 1t was after told
by her to her family that they told her
that her sickness was caused by the
breaking and failing to properly treat
her broken jaw, and they offered to as
sist If desired to prosecute the operator
who broke the jaw, and abandoned his
patient. As for the physician here
neither of them were called until about
June and later. and by this time bone
by the carries of the part call
ed necrosis or dead bone had formed,
land that no one but possessed with
Ignorance or malice would speak to the
contrary" (See card in DEMOCRACY. Now
for the truth, as l mentioned, and to you
DR.. A. j. DOuds, | say: You wrote (yOu
that wrote the letter to me copied in
this article), that statement and framed
it full of Misrepresentation, and insisted
that they help you by their names. Yes
you did, and with that sheet containing
in substantially "innOcent DR.. DOuds,"
and held it up to the innocent patrons
of Stark county and our city, and dOdg-
ing behind it, cried out, coward" to me.
But strange part of that certificate is
that DIR. COnklin, whose name is attach
ed to 1t, by the statement of Miss Louisa
MOke, Oldest daughter, a young lady of
ability and refinement, who was present
at the only visit made by DR.. COnklin,
says that he never saw her mouth, as
he was not at any time nearer than six
feet from her. o, Siddall, where is your

and anything of misfortune, and you
