A CARD FROMDR. GORMAN.

To the Editor ofthe Alexandria Gazette:
noticed in your issue of July. "a q
statement in regard to the unfortunate
case of poisoning on Fayette street, al
80 the article published in your issue of
the Goth inst, signed by Drs. Snowden
and Jones. Now as | have had nothing
to do with any newspaper controversy
on the subject do not see why they
should make such q malicious attack
on me. They both called to ses me
about $3.50 p. M, July 26. saying they
wanted to fix matters up and appeared
to be very pleasant and did not show
any bad or illfeeliDg. Not fixing
matters to suit them, which l could
not with clear conscience do, they
left apparently in good humor and
thought no more of the matter until
read the Gazette about two hours afer-
wards in which they gave me lul! bene
fit of all venom and spite possible,
When l was graduated from one Of
the highest colleges theoretical and
practiceD in this country l was appoint
ed to aud given full charge of hos
pital by men of as high standing, both
in years and practice, as either one Of
the above, and to anyone wishing any
information on the subject refer them
to DR.. S. Percy Kicking, 22l Third
street, northwest, Washington. D. G.
rhe above position l sacrificed to &C.
cept position under the government
of the city of Alexandria to help rid
this city of what I thought would be
serious epidemic. AS for the State
Board of Medical Examiners 1 can say
that hold as good diploma as. either
one of the above mentioned, and l do
not intend to let either one of them
cast any reflection on me for their mis-,
takes.
l herewith enclose a few affidavits
given without any solicitation on my
part.
