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 once (.’), attempted through the 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 : them. f now propose to deal j with J.R. Rose, AI. I)., first . He claims to have passed through Europe, two epidemics in 1H70-7 ol 1. small* Ac- j pox in cording to his reputed age, which he has made 'public, tie was the same M.

This must have been a dream that came over his slum¬ bers while he was at Seville, <>r Central Point, where this dreadful disease was a plague to the whole country.
