I frequently felt t,he mod pointed chagrin, when I have

iy fleft that such a pub!icati<m could possibly proceed ; t
:t- f rcm a society established for the purpose of pro- pc
ife moting medical knowledge. From the abusive Jar
: ' e terms in which it is couch<s from beginning to cc

'« the gentleman alluded to was far from being among j,,
o- the refpeftablc of his profeflion. He is accused of ler
ny propagating f/tl/lonotls obt/imfng a patent to aid tlelu• 1

' s this point of view, is what 1 prtfume neither his

"He acknowledge. If his refpeciabiiity in his profeflion i

Ito physic, by the number of (Indents whom he has 1
uld taught the theory of medicine,, or by the promo I
lion his brethren of the faculty liave conferred up- I
on him, I belioVe we fliall ft.il! meet with difficulty I
in determining from what source those epithets I
mentioned above originated. Has he not, on every I
occasion, for neaily twenty yeari past, when the I
t, physicians of the county of Windham to which he t
belongs, have convened to make appointments of | f

to Ever since the ettablilhmeut of the present me

j' ]at this time is he not their chairman ? TUofe per- ;
h ave sons who will tioublc thcmfelves to afeertain the

In coufequenee of th!s cxtiaordinary vote, many
unhappy proceedings mull unavoidably take place,
1 for as the Convention have dir4&ed their Secretary
to cite any member of their Society before the.v. at
