Spicy Reply to the Articles Recently Published
by Doctor’s Rose and Clark.
Times-Jouunal: Inasmuch as
I deplore a newspaper forced controversy,
• fbid myself to answer pub- two
scurrilous articles that were
lished m your issue two weeks ag«
by Rose and ( lark, two sell opta¬
ionnted M. D.'s of this city, who
have vainly attempted to defend
their diagnosis in the cases of
smallpox that have recently ap¬
peared in our mid’st; and also 1 i )
hold up before the people at large
that the action of the town coun¬
cil of Eastman,—ot which 1 have
the honor to be the head,—was
wrong. I want to say in the be
ginning that I was absent when
said articles were published, and 1
now desire that the same iiberal
itv extended to them bi> granted
me; which I know you will do, as
fairness demands it.
In the first of the outbreak of
this disease the council did not,
as may truthfully be said, take
the necessary precaution against
the spread of the plague that
should have been done, owing to
the difference of opinion that pre¬
vailed among some of onr great
diagnosticians, We, tlie council,
brushed aside all of their opinions,
and sent a message to the mayor
of Savannah <o send I he best ex¬
pert that was in the city, without
naming any one.
Dr. Jarrell came in response to
the telegram. This copartnership
of M. DCs got upon their hind
legs, and, from their long experi

newspapers, to repudiate hrs diag
nosis. They claim for themselves
that they are so well equipped, on
account of their • famihararity,
without a single witness to sustain :

opinion? Why not give

is demanded? Answer, boys,
you can.
