obscenity thousand-fod by his Shiny saIacious
comment, by lecherOus suggestions vile labs rot
ten suggestions, sinking illusions putrid insinu-
atlons, dirty deductions and slanderous slobber-

OF his cesspoo sheet.
In like manner one might discredit the Bible
and cover the Christian world with shame but to
40 this he must be a fakir, mutt, or a menda-
clous' maleVolent, forked monstrosity, devoid of
sense, honor, decency or shame
In like manner might also discredit the
medical profession and it's schools. You cannot
print for ordinary circulation certain parts of the
Blole, nor many of the things you find in the
curriculum of medical schools.
| have no objection to legitimate criticism of
the Bible, theories of medicine and systems of
theology, but when man resorts to the Watso-
man method he invites the contempt of every
man who has brains and knows what to do with
them.
That Mr.. Windle is one of the men that
have brains and know what to do with them,
you cannot doubt.
Does Mr. Windle really mean to accuse the
Bible of containing stuff that would "cover
the Christian world with shame?"
If the Bible is capable of making Christi
anlty ashamed Of itself, why is so much pains
taken to put The Book into every home and
every room of every hotel?
When the clergy go about the earth preach
ing from the Bible, and urging all men to
read it, are they concealng something which
If known might 'cover the Christian world
with shame?"
Mr.. Windle has certainly got himself into
queer dilemma by hurting such an accusa-
ton against Goods Word; )" and these Roman
priests who are endorsing what Windle says
against the Book, will have some more denials
to make, If they don't look sharp.
Mr.. Windle says that you can't print for
general circulation many things found in the
curriculum of medical schools
Is he sure of that?
DR.. G. F. Taylor of Philadelphia publishes
a magazine known as The Medical World;
and anybody can get it who wants it, if he
will pay the price.
Every issue of it contains matter which the
prudes might consider obscene
The medical magazine named PeZiaSt15cs,
has general circulation; and every copy con-
talns matter which the squeamish might class
as laSclVlOus
But these publications have good nootire,
and nobody has ever objected to their going
through the mail
If the family doctor himself did not have
good motive, he would be a violator of the
law in using the language which his desire to
heal often renders necessary.
Mr.. Windle says that, to Justify my guilt"

which were quoted Then Mr.. Windle adds
''Tom failed to state that he increased the
obscenity thousand fold by his Shiny, sala-
cious comment, vile jabs, sinking illusions,
putrid nsinuations &C."
