 Dear Doctor:-
 The article that appeared in last weeks "Oonn. News" over the sigma ture of '.Sidney Reed" has seemed to me to be direct insult to you, both socially and professionally, and I can not refrain from expressing to you the disgust it has caused myself as we'll as many others. with the originator or orig inators of the article. We had under stood you were Mir Reeds attending physician, and at the request of the family had called Dr Paddock in consul ration. We believed he had said "Mr Reed was Uery sick man and should he recover under your care with the as- sistance of Miss Bartholomew, the train ed nurse, you would be accomplishing something for which you would be de- serving of great deal of credit" Up- on reading the article that appeared in the "News" we simply boiled over with indignation, as did many others, and we fail to see where your untiring efforts in Mr Reeds behalf have been appreciated in the slightest degree. There is no ilOuDb bilht MlSS DhIbuOlOucW was Oi most valuable assistance to you during the acknowledged severe illness of MT Reed, but the value of trained nurse lies in her ability to understand and carry out the attending physician's or ders, therefore to her surely all the praise cannot accrue. Possibly some influence may have been brought to bear upon Mir Reed while still in weak con- dition and I cannot doubt that upon his full recovery he will as a gentleman, and patient grateful for physician g faithful care, retract over his own name, what he would not have written had he been we'll and strong. The article re. minds us of the story of the "tail that tried to wag the dog" but found it rather difficult undertaking, and your many friends in this section do not feel that your good standing as physician has been lowered and that the author or authors of the article will some day be sorry for the mistake they have made. for "Lord forgive them they know not what they do
