Dear Doctor
Your letter of April 26tn with in
curry regarding Dr. J. Ellery Fales
is at hand 1 know nothing of this
man, nor do ever remember hearing
or seeing his name before. / made
one or two inquiries here of doctors
who never heard of him. 1t would
appear on the face of it, that this
man should be discredited. Certainly
the statements which you have sem
me that he says, are absolutely un
true.
Very truly yours,

In addition to this we desire to state
that the article in the Union, in the
latter part of September, on the med
ical inspection of the public schools
and over the signature of DR.. J. FL
