Physician Through Spite Work.
September 5, 1901

September 8, 1901.
EDITOR SUNDAY GLOBE
There appeared in your paper Of July
p an article concerning a scandal
which accused, in the homeopathic
hospital Of this city, of which Mr.
Charles Lyman is treasurer and trus-
tee. some of the officials having accused
DR.. Stoddard Of being responsible for
the young lady's condition. His resig-
nation was asked for. He was also re-
fused the privilege Of taking private
patients to the hospital for treatment.
The nurse did make conflicting state-
ments, but why? For the sake Of pro
tecting the institution. But we know
the young lady did make a written
statement and to one of the oacials,
who is the surgeon Of the hospital en-
tirely generating DR.. Stoddard, and
also naming the man who was respon-
siDie for her condition. Now, why has
that statement been kept back? Why
was It not acknowledged when receiv
ed? The question is asked, Why are
those hospital officials trying to make
DR.. Stoddard sufferfor a lowdown, cow
ardly act Of the of
that institution. Why don't DR.. --
come out like a man and say he
was responsible for all that nurse went
through with instead of trying to put
the blame on an innocent man? Is
he and the rest of the officials in to-
gether? Are they all the same kind?
Then, again, Why do they not refuse
to let Dr. -- treat patients in that
hospital? Why are they trying to
shield DR.. --? Why are they still
condemn an innocent one? Let them
investigate some Of the actions of that
- physician and one Of the
nurses who is in that hospital to-day.
What is Mr.. Lyman doing? Is it to
the credit of the hospital to still keep
a nurse who is so low as TO tell lies to
shield Dr. Tindall? Why are they still
keeping her in the institution to wait
and minister unto the sick? Why not
dismiss her instead Of sending her on
a vacation until the doctor left
What was his reason for running a
young girls life; one who bad done all
she could to please him his first year
In the hospital Was he jealous or
was it because he was that kind of a
man? There are not more than four
or FIVE people In that hospital to-day
who would say anything about that un-
fortunate girl, She was liked by all,
and always tried to do what was right.
Nothing was too hard for her to do
1t Is the honest wishes of the friends
of DR.. Stoddard and that nurse TO have
Justice done 1t will be, for the hos
pital will be vestgated Mr.. Charles
Lyman and also the rest of the house
committee had better investigate the
actions of the new superintendent and
the doctors who are I'm the hospital to-
day There is one woman on the hos
pital committee who as nothing to
brag of, but yet she has said more
than anyone else. VIII she kindly an
swer the question what her niece was
In the hospital for in the year Of 1898,
and where would her husband be to-
day If he wasn't a Mason? Yet she is
willing to call people liars and slander
Dr. Stoddard, and also that nurse She
and some OF the rest had better watch
out, for there is a time coming, and it
Is not far off, when they all will have
to explain some of the things they
have said and done They must not
think that Dr. Stoddard and that nurse
are without friends, for they are not.
They have friends who will stand by
them through everything.
Dr. Stoddard should be honored for
standing by that girl, and 1t Is the
wish Of all his and her friends that he
will come cut victorious, and that the
guilty one will suffer.
