A. Demure—In the ie500 of 'Inc
Post', of July 24t1i, there was a oom-
munication appeared, clipped from
the Scafortb Expositor, in which a
Wiughnm Dr., called Dr. Windbag,
is aeeueed of violating the spirit of
the Scott Act by grantiug certificates
indiscriminately for a 25 cents fee.
It also refers to the personal appear.
twee and manners of said M. D.
Dr. Bethune has taken the matter up
And has placed it in the hands of a
legal firm in Wiusybam and intends
prosecuting those circulating the
rumour. The Dr. says as le is the
only physician in Wingbam opposed
to the Scott Act, who lute granted
certificates in Bolgravo for the pur-
poses of procuring liquor there can
be no doubt but that the article 18
levelled at him, IIe says the article
is basely false and he is prepared to
vindicate himself. As to Lis conduct
&Gc. lie Rays ho defies any man to say
that he over swore an oath or that
anyone ever saw him intoxicated.
The Bolgrave correspondent will con-
sequently bo called upon to swallow
the statements node, or else be pre-
parod to prove the charges. If the
article refers to Dr. Bethune, and the
Dr. says it does, and if the oharges
are false the public should know it
and with this object in view this de•
vial of the former article is presentecl.
We have no object in injuring the
character of any man and hope the
matter referred to above may bo t:o
thoroughly cleared up that the Dr's
name may bo vindicated,
