    IV without any abridgment: aud to insure accuracy, the proof- sheets of the present publication have been revised by Mr. Martin. Some respected friends have blamed me for noticing in any way the manifestations of the druggist and the “ Medical Juror wdiilst others have remarked, that I have said too little in elucidation of the doings and motives of these persons. The Appendix will show what I actually have done, viz., writing three letters with my signature attached. I have had no direct or. indirect participation in the author- ship of any editorial articles or anonymous paragraphs which have appeared on the subject. I am in no way responsible for what others have said on the subject. Two of my three letters appeared in the “ Morning Post and were simply intended to correct misstatements calculated to injure my professional character, which had been published in that respectable newspaper. My other letter appeared in the “ Lancet” of the 7th August: and referred to a commu- nication from Mr. Farmer; which, as it had found a place in the most influential and most generally read medical periodical, I did not think it derogatory to notice.
