Dated this-twentyfiret c!nyof June, 1878. Edward S. Wiicooks, 2716 Registrar. [ADYBBTISBMENT.] Thames, June 24fch, 1878. REPLY TO MARTIN H. PAYNE, L.S.A., L.8.0:P., A.S S.! &o. MH. P. in his advertisement; does not « deny that he was the originator of the letter signed " A M.F.5.," nor does he attempt to answer other accusations which I made against him, but satisfies Ir'maelf with making untruthful statements acd wholesale abuse such as could only eminate from a soddened bi'ain. As to whether lam m the habit of writing from interested motives, I will leave the public to judge. If I had, as M. H. P. states, entered in my present business with the hope of receiving the patronage of any particular person or persons SKfely I should eiave asked for it, which' I never did. About twelve months ago M. H. P. sent ' to me for come medicine, which 1 refused to let him have, which looks very much like me wanting his patronage^ although I have made up medicine for his patients from prescriptions bearing the iniitials MS.P. which are in my possession, and I challenge bim to say whether or not they were accurately dispensed. This humane gent, who has so much to say about the importance of Dispensing Medicines, mast have forgot his humanity when he left the late Dr Perston to die (and what about his ordinary duties ?) as though nothing was the matter. The f-ictis, be never ought to have been buried without an inquest, but I suppose the end justifies the means. M-n's inhuiranjty to mac, makes Countless thoiK^rds mere. :n. —BdrnS; No wonder Mr Hall refused to take a shop to dispense med-oine for M. H. P., who would give his unmentionables away one day and want them back the next. I suppose he made the same'liberal offer as he did to the late Mr Cox, 6s a head per annum to do the Societies' dispensing, drugs included. I think it no shame to acknowledge having been in the service of Dr. Kendeidine, who is a perfect gentleman I regret that some of. M.H.P.'s late serf ants cannot say the same of him : Vie King can make an earl a JcnigM or squire, lut not a gentleman. If M.H.P. bad any regard lor honesty of purpose in referring to my antecedents he would not have ignored the fact that I was employed for nine years on the Army Hospital Staff as compounder of medicine under 'such men as Dr. Mouat, S.Gk, Dr. Gibb, Dr,Cart"e, and . many others that I could name.' Surely such men as these are capable to judge whether or not I was fit for the.position which I held so long. As-to the dyeing business, no man without gome knowledge of chemist, y could successfully carry on the business of a jobbing dyer without any previous training in the art of dyeing, my real calling being an earthenware —of /which I have no reason to 'be ashamed.. I suppose if I had come here a etranger and commenced my present business, no one would have passed any remarks more than they would on any one else in my position. I have given a brief outline of wha* I have been ; will 3V?\ H. P. do likewise, and tell us whether ho v. pabla of sounding a man's lungs and he;n\,, he being partly deaf? As to his attending my child two years ago, at that time I waß not aware that he was capable of such blackguardism as I have since found out, instances of which I would give only they are so grots as to be unfit for publication. Hoping M. H. P. will not tire of this correspondence unH'. I have polished him off properly—if he does 1 shell conclnde with." A Laughable Story" in tomoirow night's St/ti —I am, &o , W. PIART.
