In the first place, it is an injustice to the three or four medical men here, who have neither examined her, nor expressed an opinion as to her case. In the second place as far as I myself am concerned it is utter- ly- mama. Instead of saying her case was hopeless I told her, distinctly, that similar cases almost invariably got well. In proof of the very beneficial results of her treatment by the self constituted Sol- eus I may mention that not later than last Friday, at midnight, I was roused out of bed to give this same Lmily Barker some medicine to relieve Ler suffering from the sante complaint. 1 question very much Miss Darker lav- ing written- this letter. It seems more lnrobabletltat it has been dictated by some- one else and sigiud by her withouf under- standing the full meaning of its contents. It might bo well for the public to know that this self -elected presielent, Dr. Sin- clair, of the so called Ontario Sanitarium, has no claim whatever to superiority as he hue just recently left a meagre country practice in Port Elgin, and holds a degree inferior to any of our local physicians, with one exception only. ltespeetfullyyours, )3russels, Mar. lard.
