j, One of our leading merchants ant
one who has probably been damaget
, 81 900 by the mistaken diagnosis by
physicians of the contagion says tha
when a body of men place their act:
above investigation and criticism
based thereon they acknowledge tha
their acts will not bear Investigation
Another one said to us, the time ha
, gone by when a bullet headed boy JUS
l because ne mas spent coupe OF year
! at Rush Medical College is incapable
: of making a mistake, and who's
opinions are to be accepted as gospe
! truth without question or doubt
I The views Of these two merchant
: may be taken as symposium o
thought among men qualified to iudg
s discreetly and impartially the acts o
r officials who make a mistake and hav
! too much pride of opinion to admi
the fact.
