HOMŒOPATHY AND THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.

To the Editor of the New Zealander. Sin,—A few observations, and a very few, are necessary from me in noticing a letter in your contemporary of to-days impression, for in his editorial remarks upon the subject, lie endorses my arguments, we share each others opinions. I have to say, sir, that I will not descend to quarrel with this “Citizen” in his own strain, for the good it may do him, he is welcome to exult in his anonymous attack upon me ; hut for his instruction I can afford to tell him that insolence is not argument, that recrimination is not wit, that his “full orchestra’’ (pity his audience!) proves nothin//, hut manifests a spiteful disposition, that abuse encumbers a good case, and that to attack another in the dark is a mean thing, unworthy of any citizen whose acquaintance I desire. As the most honest and straightforward course I avowed myself in case my observations were construed into individual attack. Further, sir, for this “ Citizen’s” guidance I will tell him that no low lampoon of his will deter me from introducing a measure for placing the medical profession upon a proper footing, or other measures of public concern. —Yours, & c., James Dry.
