![“ w itli the proper adminiftration of remedies lie effeded a cure in three days.” How, •ind by what remedies ? By the remedies which I had preleribed, and had feat from the Difpenfary. For Mr. Bell informs us he vilited Hugh on the third day of his illnefs, 1 wjien j,e was taking away the medicines, which had been fent from the Difpen- t n V “ HiiMi deli red him federal times, in an anxious manner, to* let them remain ; “ faying, they are of much ufe to me, and none to you*.” Mr. Bell iikewife fays one of the Catheters was very bloody. Concerning Wm. Cowin it will be unneceflary to fay much. I believe every Gentle- m in 'who heard him deliver his evidence in the Town-Hall on the 22d of Augull, ti, ’ j,t y,;„ ,, nvtfl dsfpi'-ahle.wretch. The material parts of his evidence were cantra- dicled in the fulled manner by Mr. Watfon, and by the Report Book of the Difpenfary. Wlfther Dorothy Wright, and Mary Blackburn, the two wajher-women, have any fet'led' purpofe to deceive or not I cannot tell; but lam certain they have mifrepre- fented the eonverfation I had with them in a very egregious manner, perhaps, from 111' a”dw woUs^o'n ^he Appendix will fuffice.

Hodgfon, are drawn up in fuch general terms, that a reader unaccullomed to examine, to compare, and to realon upon fads, may be led to conclude that they authenticate the moll material pafihges in Mr. Hodgfo.Ts publication ; the ntnrv however, will appear from the perufal of the certificates of John Graham, and Wm' Hodgfon, in my Appendix, No. III. and VIII. Thcfe Gentlemen now explain hat Mr H widled might be concealed, viz. the fads with which they were acquainted. What are thefe fads? Mr. Graham fays, « all lie knows ab.iut the matter is, that there .. nvaf a difference of opinion between Dr. Heyfoam and Mr. Hodgfon, a c.rcumllance that was always granted ; and Mr. Hodgfon, of Burg], informs us he borrowed a tooth- T r and a fringe, which was never denied. And if I had had leifure to ride feventy, or eighty miles, Uiave not the leall doubt but 1 could have obtained a fimilar explana- tory certificate from Mr. Watfon. Mv adverfary in his letter to Dr. Monro, informs the Dodor, that a lady, m fimilar circumftances with Ann Liddell, had applied to him, and that he “ had -fixed on Mon- ,t Tuefday, or Wednefday next.
