PROF. REYNOLDS KICK.
Scores His Brother M. DIS. and Says He
Will Recover Without Sympathy.

lished in your paper in which my
character and that of my consult
ing physician has been DETAINED
ask the favor Of an insertion for a
reply to the charges made, in which
my unfortunate affliction by those
bigoted wiseacres Is represented as
a fraud and myself a crank. The
least that can be said of these
bigoted wiseacres is that they are
ignorant and ill-bred professionals
and deserve to be discarded by the
brotherhood, and as prima fscie
evidence they made statements
about a disease they have
no knowledge of and endeavor
TO cover their ignorance by
defsming men of more experience.
Ny life and positions have been
such, / have probably seen and
treated more different diseases
than all these wiseacres put to-
gether. How many of them have
treated Calcutta fever, or Bombay
fever, Panama fever, cholera
ssiatica, Yellow fever, smallpox,
German measles, etc.? and have
seen and treated mascinora that as
it were skins man alive and re-
sists all medicated or medicinal
skin diseases and probably as they
have never seen or heard of it &C.
cording to their bigotry, there is
no such disease. Yet, it is a fact. l
have successfully treated hundreds
Ofssuch cases, through learning ola
specific from native Cholo,
where the disease was indigen-
Gus. My life travels and pro-
iessional positions have been
met that l have seen and treated
nearly all diseases of this and
many other countries, yet I have
read of and heard of diseases 1
never have seen, but have not been
so bigoted as to doubt their exis-
tence or refuse to receive informa-
tion from any source, professional
or non-professional, No one man
or set of men know all things.
Why don't these wiseacres tell
what kind of stuff they accuse me
of using to arouse sympathy?
Does any sensible man consider
DIR. Fleming and DR.. Menger blind
or such dupes as not to be able to
detect q fraud Of this kind, had it
ever been practiced? Do they de-
ny that all diseases have had an
origion in some person time and
place, and how many Of them know
when and where and how any
known disease originated?
When Sir Harvey discovered and
reported circulation many wise
acres considered him a crank, but
when 1 demonstrated with my
injection the professors of
the Jefferson medical college, not
stuck up like those bigoted, gazed
with wonder and admiration. Had
these wiseacres been present, they,
like the judges Of Sir Harvey,
doubtless would have considered
me a crank because it was beyond
their experience and comprehen-
sion. These "Big likes" seem to be
in these great San Antonio lights
of darkness as big as Mount Him.
