THE DAILY NEW [COMHTJNICATED.] CHARLESTON, May 12,18 Messrs. Editors-Although no moio rea Bible for tbe sentiments or language of th? memorial of the Medical Society to the Council than either of the twenty-four i hers of the society whose names were api ed, the wrathful displeasure naturally co: from the offended parties has been to a '. extent vented upon me as the reputed at of the paper. Under these circumstances, in order my position may be clearly defined, as we to relieve individual members of the so from the unpleasantness of noticing the aonal allusions made by the Board of He J request the publication ot the aubjoinet ewer, for which I am alone responsible. Very respectfully, H. A. KINLOCH, M. D., President of the Medical Society of S. THE MEDICAL SOCIETY AND THE CITY CODI The memorial presented to the City Con in January last, signed by twenty-four m bera of the Medical Society of South Carol protesting against the cost of the Health partment, was, it will be remembered, refs to the Board of Health for consideration. justice and propriety of this reference, on part of Council, may be briefly decided . Cuehing's "Rules of ^o<?eding and Debat Dehberative Assemblies." It is there affin as "contrary not only .to che laws of dece hut to the fundamental principle of these compact, that a man should sit and acts judge in his own case." The reply to the memorial appears at las the proceedings of Council' of the 24th March. This is signed by the Mayor, the ( Registrar, and six Aldermen, constituting w is called the Board of Health. TM sod cannot consent to compromise itself by ag addressing the Council, so, in order to oort the misstatements for the Board of Heal _ places the matter directly before the pub Our memorial showed, by contracted sit menta and figures from the journals of Conn that tho expenditures for the Health Dept ment' during the last fiscal year, exceeded At least $12.000 (exclusive of $40,000, Gove . ment appropriation,) that of the years 18 1869, i860 and 1861. It also protested agaii a proposed outlay, for converting the old wo ? bouse building into a city hospital. And fi thor suggested that certain complicated hea arrangements might be made more econo leal to the city. The reply of the Board Health is, we think, a misrepresentation of c position, an evasion of the question at issi . and a descent to gross personalities and triv . side issues. We prcKieed to mate good this o estimate of its value. Attention is first called to our poverty, ax ss the Health Board seem also to imply, o littleness, by an exhibit of the small arnon of tass we pay when compared with the bo of aldermen. The fat aldermen are placed one seale and the poor doctors in the oth< Of course we strike the bt am. To the que xian.of weight is affixed this argument; tl criticism of the expenditures of Council by body of doctors, who pay only one-sixth of tl tax paid by the aldermen, is audacious ai . misplaced. Those who have most at sta! - must be most interested in the welfare of tl A city, and. if extra vacant, th ev at least have tl . , Tight to be eo. Is this argument legitimate < tenable? Has not the humblest citizen, wt payB only a capitation tax, the Tight to ran nia voice in what concerns the public welfare Taxation assuredly bears no less lightly upc . the man with small means than upon the mi : hon aire. If extravagant expenditure be ni thing to a rich alderman, it may seriously coi cern a poor doctor. Is public economy usually the fruit of sal . interest? Admit the mterestednesB of the a dexxnen, and ts this necessarily a safeguard i - their legislation, or an insurance against the: - folly ? The owner of the frail bark that tn verses th^ ocean and the muter who directs he - movements are assured! v the parties most inter e&ted in her safety; and yet statistics show be S3 dispute that most of the recorded acci ts to vessels are traceable to one or th< sitter ot these much interested parties. But cannot aldermen, in virtue of the! position, better endure tho burden of taxation They proverbially grow fat. Is it from thi .share of the loaves and'fishes? Who are more . Interested when bills before Gounod ara passet 'for payment? Why ia it that members Ol Council are so often, elected to fill vacancies in the various city Boards? Examine the ex penditures of our public institutions, as th? Orphan House ana Alms House, and the rea .son seems obvious. Who xurniahes bread and groceries, and dry goads and crockery '. "8ee the billa for stationery furnished to cati offices; those lor lumber, lime, cement anc other materials used upon public works. I our memory serves us right, there is an ole city ordinance forbidding contracts between .' 'the ?tty and-a member of Conned. In thu ?day of resurrection of ordinances long en? tombed, wo ask our new Mayor if this one is .enforced? This may be a small matter for ?ave doctors to advance, but the Health Board is responsible for having placed us in an insignificant position because of our paying; ~_WetwoaId'wnhngly beoome large tax-payers, rat alas ! to reach this goal of our hopes we must be placed m ' Bimi lax relations with our patients, including members of Council, and.of the- Board of Health who may rank as such? as those established between the Aldermen and the city: we mast be well patronized and promptly paid, ... ;. The impugnment of our motives by the sugges? tion of a f e?iiDg of diaappoin tm en t on our parti " in not having been able to carry out the wishes of the trust?es of the Boper hospital, we might pass by, because not affecting the value of our Tacts or deductions, lt is not our province to tight the battles of the Roper Hospital, yet we deem it not amiss, in this connection, to remind the Board of Health that the only complaint ever urged by Council against the hospital was its being managed by a ''close corporation." On this account alone, the most sacred and binding obligation of contract baa been violated by Council. Why ia the complaint not stated in language at once more truthful and more easily understood? Why is it not openly an? nounced that no Alderman sits with the Hospi? tal Board; that the hospital extends no patron? age m certain directions, but simply unfolds a spotless banner Upon which is inscribed a re? fuge for the sick, 'without regard to complex? ion, religion or nation." The Health Board indirectly charges man of the signers of our memorial Tutu moDnsis lency becka* ot thc 3torjmtbat "some -were unsuccessful candidates for position under the Health Department, and one a strong advocate and at one time a holder of office under thia department." Here, as in other parts of the reply of the Board of Health, much ingenuity has been displayed to impose troon the publicthe belief that the Health ??> partment and the City Diapoiisary are synonym mons terms. Our memorial condemned thc extravagance of the former, but uttered no j word of reproach against the latter. Some al* basion we did makefto an expensive combina-- : tiou, under the new regime, in which the IMB> ? pensary wsw included. Bet the single itera?8 extravagance noticed here was tbe ''large cd s\ ditional compensation" af the Regis rrax or Su " pervisor of Hospitals; and this we shall return to m proper season. We never questioned the necessity of tbe Xuspenaary, nor doubted its usefulness. We wore too well aware that the extravagant ex? penditure of the Health Department could not be laid at its door. We should now rejoice to know that the hard-working dispensary physi , dan bsd benefltted by the unexplained dis / buraement ol the public fonde. We used the term Health Department in its only legitimate sense, viz.: that in which it WSB used upon the records of Council long before the present health system(?) was contemplated. Expendi? tures noted undnr this head, in bygone years, we compared with those announced under the same heading by the present Council. Some of our number then, we grant, were "unsuc? cessful candidates" for the Dispensary; one of ns did serve in this connection, and we all feel no reproach on either account. We honor the Dispensary! We denounce the abominations of the Health Department ! Thus we define oar position! Thus we expose the ingenuity and vicious personality of tho Board of Health*! We oom e now to portions of the reply which seem to be bona fide attempts to meet bur charges. We are accused of assuming that our a ty po polution is reduced in number when compared with former years, and of conclud? ing from such assumption that the expenses of the present Health Department should be proportionally less. Assigned .to this false po? sition, we are met by the assertion that "there is probably an increase of fifty per cent, in the number requiring medical attendance now, when compared with the samo population previ? ous to the war." The man of straw is pol up ! and the man of straw 1B knocked down ! Our memorial reads thus : "At present the white population is, at the highest estimate, one third less than formerly and in hospitals the eiok from this class ar? certainly no more nu? merous." An "increase af fifty per cent, in hospital" the Board dare not affirm (and our argument concerned th's chus of sick alone), so they ingeniously declare an increase in number requiring medical attendance." venture to reaffirm our statement as tc number of white sick in hospital. The ot this opinion rests upon two facts. 1 the present City Hospital (the Tucker Ho cannot accommodate the numbers of sick prior to the war, were treated in the I Hospital. Second, the Boper Hospital during the past year, at ita own expense, vided for many of the city sick, white anc ored. We admit an increase in the numl sick paupers in the case of the Dispen And what then ? Will this prove the nece of the terrible depletion of the city tres by the 13 c o lt h Department ? Assuredly no the Bureau, and not the city, provides medical supplies for the sick,'and these plica constitute the only serious item o: pense. It is exultingly announced tbat the R< trar'a report for the past year has show: striking decrease in the expense per capi the present Health Department, when con ed with the cost before the war." The gi matical construction of this sentence prey? perhaps, a correct appreciation of its sig canoe. If the idea intended to be con vere that the entire indigent sick cost the city per capita than formerly, we think this t than probable, as the government contrib so largely to the support of this class. ) this confession of the Health Board com greater difficulty in accounting for the li additional cost of the Health Department. Health Board has inadvertently told the tr and thus verified our views, and establ? most clearly the propriety of our protest. 1 expense per capita of the Board of Heal tl thia Board controls the expenditure of Health Department-is readily estimated dividing that unexplained expenditure $12,000 hy the member of the Board-exclu of the present Mayor, who is not respons for the past. We are further charged with "ignoring a getber the increase of the number of pan freedmen, and thus placing the administrai in a false light before the community." our memorial again answer. After an alluf to the liberality of the government to the frc men, the memorial continues : "Ii we are < rectly informed, it is in this way (through liberality of the Bureau) that the sick of i class are now supported in hospital. If ; (the Council) are prepared to deny this, may be enlightened in regard to your he disbursements to the Health Department." this ignoring the necessary expense of freedmen? On the contrary, is it not m specially recognizing this expense, and plaining io w it is provided for. Is it possi that the Board of Health would propagate i belief that the sick freedmen account for ?. heavy additional expenditure of $12.000, wi they know that the Bureau meets almost I entire cost ? Beally our* memorial was p phetic when it announced that "perhaps I sick freedmen would be designated as the cai of the many abominations." The Board of Health propagates anoti error in connection with the sick freedmi "The memorialists." they say, "know full VJ that previous to the war slaves were paid : by their owners if sent to the hospital, a that it was a source of income and not of * pense." Our knowledge enables us simply affirm that the city never supported or kc open any hospital for slaves. Thus far, then, neither the silence of Cou eil 'nor tbe reply of the Board of Health h enlightened ns in regard to the heavy disburt m en ts for the Health Department. There but one conclusion. The explanation of tl unusual expenditure cannot be made, or it designedly withheld. Such being the fact, we feel obligated to c lighten the public to some extent by reportii such discoveries as we have made on our ov account. The memorial, it appears, gave gre offence by an allusion to extra compensation the-City Begierrar for services under the mo recent health arragements, or by the rema that such compensation was not foreshadow! when the duties were accepted. This allusit was not meant to be offensive. If personal, was only so because, while discussing the e: travagance of the Health Department, the sa aries of officers had to be considered. Whi denouncing the extravagance of Council, v could not honestly ignore the expense i the registrar. We trusted that this offici woola at least have put himself right. He h: preferred silence, or, what is worse, has ei iorsed the reply of the Board of Health, th misstatements and malignity of which we hav fully exposed. He is more responsible fe these than any other member of that Boarc br his position enabled him to be better ir brmed. We now regret the necessity for nore direct allusion, which d as been rondere necessary to the substantiation of opinions, o marges, advanced in our memorial. If we d nj us tico to the Council,'the Registrar, or t< my individual by an error of statement, we n advance, solicit correction, and most cheer lally will offer amends. Tho Registrar now draws eighteen hundrei lollara salary from the city. Eight hundrei lollara of this amount is the extra compensa non for connecting the city with the Freed lien's Bureau. When the bill for establishing ihis connection was before Council for dis suasiQn, there was a section providing for i medal supervisory medical officer, whose sala y would have been about oue thousand dol? ara. Upon the strong ground of economy his section was, upon motion of an alderman itricken oat, or so modified that the super' risory duties should devolve upon the Ci h Registrar. -This officer certainly had the privil?ge of objecting. He accepted the emptv ?ouor, and discharged the extra duties for six nontis. Tbe same economist in Council now lucceeded in securing the extra compensation or the Registrar; ?nd'wbat was remarkable, n view of the previous argument, the salary res made retroactive. The empty honor >roved a misnomer. Economy meant expendi? ere. Bat this failed to satisfy the supervisor, tod a clerk, at a salary of seventy-five dollars >er month, was employed to assist with his trduous duties. This assistant received his appointment from the Registrar without the iction of C -uncil ; his name is affixed to a "Pay oil for th?. Health Department,'' which paper s endorsed by the Registrar, then by the klayor; and finally the Registrar draws the unount called for from the City treasurer. Chis pay-roll calls for a large amount apart lom the balary of the clerk referred to. We rast oar inquisitiveness will be excused when wo ask why it is not presented to Council, and has allowed to appear in the published pro ieeoings of that body? The plan pursued nay accord .with army or government regula ions, bat certainly is Unusual in connection nth city affairs. But the connecting link was not yet suf icien?y strengthened, BO the Registrar became ir ?w *ct ^K600 01 016 United States army, with the emoluments of this position, under Sureau or army regulations, we are not j&miliar. We are credibly informed that the Doctor draws no pay except in the form of forage and feel. He can best determine whether there is any monthly dues remaining [o his credit upon tbe official records of tho Quartermaster's Department. Finally, by an arrangement with the Collec? tor of the Port, the seamen when sick are turned over to the City Hospita). The annual receipts to the hospital on this account amount to some four or five thousand dollars. Only a limited portion of this amount is necessary for the rapport of the Bick seamen- certainly not mott wan half. The remainder dees not pass to the city treasury, but simply into the hands of tbe Registrar, to whom attaches' opty a moral responsibility for its expenditure. Sthis money may, or may not, be spent for the benefit of the hospital or tbe Health Department. We desire to cast no suspicion of -akry violation of the trust o i the part of the Registrar. But we wish it to be understood ?bat the sum not spent on the seamen goes boswell the expenses of the Health Department, andu so mach addc4 to the already unexplained 'disbursement of th* puttie fonds. lt would appear that the Registrars office has still greater absorbing power. At a recent meeting of the Council a bill of the Registrar* for extras for the -Health Department, to ike arr ou nt of six hundred amd sixty-seven doihvrs seven cents, was passed for payment. This has a secret history. Neither the itemized ac? count, nor the report-Af the committee of two aldermen who recommended its payment, ever appeared in the published proceedings of Coun? cil. The bill was first presented ta the tress-' arer for payment, simply with the Mayor's en? dorsement. Payment was declined, so' tho bill went to the committee of two. This committee reports upon the claim as "amounts expended by him" (the Registrar) "from time to time, cf four hundred and sixty-one diShus fifty-tut?e cents," and the additional sum of two hundred and six dollars fi<ty-tour cent? "as required to pay sundry small accounts contracte 1 for the use of the hospital." The committee recom? mend payment after having given the matter "such attention aa circumstances and time have permitted." This waa quite satisfactory to Council, and the six hundred and sixty-seven dolla rs seven cents of the peoples money pass? ed into the capacious pockets of the favorite city officer. Formerly the Registrar had an office in tho City Hall building. Now the office of the Health Department is a newly erected buildmg of his own, comer of Calhoun-street and Rut? ledge Avenue, which bas not been assessed for taxation, and for which, we are credibly in? formed, be receives reut, and also wages fur a servant who does the dusting. It will then bo clearly perceived that a single office in the oontrol of Council will account tor uu V/ ? ? i~l ? M*MU A. WAI mach of the vary large deficit notion g since reported by the Committee of Ways and Means. We are charitable enough to believe that the Council have not realized this fact. But, unfortunately for the public interest, the occupant of this office is, by virtue of his posi? tion, the controlling element of what is called the Board of Health (as consituted it would elsewhere not be entitled to the name), which body decides upon the necessities of the Health Department. Arnon? these necessities, let the public remember, was the conversion of the old workhouse building into a "most magnifi? cent hospital," at the cost of $15,000, after, to use the language of the engineer, the "demo? lition of the massive walls of basement and other partitions in the centre building, the construction of extensive staircase arrange? ments," Ac. Our memorial predicted an extensive outlay if this scheme was carried out. The engineer has more than verified our opinions. Let the public not be deceived by the opin? ion of the unknown medical authority, quoted by?the Board of Health, before whose vision the workhouse looms up "one of the most magnificent of hospitals." His name is sup? pressed, but we suspicion it is only by looking through the spectacles of the Freedmen's Bu? reau at that $5,000,000 on deposit at Washington that Bach glori?os visions could ever have been realized. In conclusion, we reaffirm the honesty of our purpose, as expressed in tho memorial. While we regret that our language was construed into insult by members of Council, and consid? ered personally offensive by some whom we re? garded, and still regard, as friends, we remain firm in our position, and calm in our assertion of the right to consider the official acts of ] Connell. An admonition of arraignment before tho bar of PUBLIC OPINION may now, per? haps, be disregarded, but the day is not dis? tant when this power, clothed again in majesty, shall claim more than the right of judgment.'

TERS rSTO THE COHPOSmON OF DR. R A D Vf A Y'S RENOVATING RESOL VENT. A NEW PRINCIPLE DISCOVERED. One Bottle of Resolvent la Better Than Ten Large Bottles of the Advertised Sarsaparillas, or Direct Diuretic Bern edies. PHYSICIANS wonder at the extraordinary power o? BADWAY'S RENOVATING RESOLVENT In curing the worst lonns of Scrofulous, Syphlloid, Chronic Skin Diseases, and its marvelous power in resolving calculons concretions, affording immediate relief and consequent cure of Diseases of the Kidney, Bladder, Liver, Lungs, Pancreas, Spleen. Its rapid influence in the cure of diabetes, Incontinence or scanty, tur? bid, albuminous, cloudy urine; its almost Instant ef? ficacy in stopping itching and painful discharge of urine, and Ks singular power in curing discharges from the Uterus and Urethra, L?ucorrhoa, Bloody Urine, and other unhealthy and weakening dis? charges;-and inquire wherein the SARS AP AR LL LIAN used in the Renovating Resolvent differs from ordinary Sarsaparilla* I Sareiparillian ls the only principle in Sarsaparilla tbat possesses curative properties; all other parts of the root are inert and useless. One ounce of the extract obtained under Dr. Badway'snew process for extracting the curativo properties from vegetable substances, contains more of tbe true principle of cure than twenty pounds of the ordinary roots. SARSAPABECLUN is only one ot the ingredients tbat forms this truly wonderful medicine; and lt is the only compensating remedy that communicates its purifying, cleansite and reinvigorating proper? ties through the BLOOD, SWEAT, URINE, and other secretions, securing a harmonious functional action of every depraved organ and gland in the sys? tem. If the blood is corrupt, the Besolvent will make it pure. If the Lung? are ulcerated and sore, '?ereting thick phlegm and prurelent matter, the Resolvent will loosen this deposit and repair the wasting lung with sound and healthy material, jt the Skin is covered with pimples, spots, pustulce, sores, ulcers, kc, the Resolvent will quickly removs these annoyances. If mercury ia deposited lu the bones and has accumulated in the system, the Re? solvent will drive lt out If the Throat of Bronchial Glanda axe ulcerated, the Resolvent will cure these signs of au early waste. Direct remedies, possess? ing only exclusive properties, are hurtful, ss they increase the functional secretions of on- organ by suspending the constituent secretions of others; hence, a compensating remedy like the Besolvent is the only means of a permanent cure. BEAR IN MIND THAT EVERY DROP OF BLOOD impregnated with the Resolvent and absorbed to Hupply the wsste of the body, wUl make pure, sound and healthy flesh and flhrf. The first dose that ie taken commences its work of purification and in? creasing the appetite andfleth. A REMARKABLE CURE! SOBES ON TSE TONGUE, ULCERS IN TBE THROAT, SORE GUMS. SORE MOUTH, SORES>IN THE NOSE, AROUND THE ETES, rfc.. If recently exhibited, a few bottles will cure. If chronic, or through tho effects of Mercury, Potas? sium, Corrosive Sublimate, irom six to one dozen bottles may be required to make a permanent cure. R. R. R. A GREAT SENSATION ! -A GOOD SENSA?

In an matant lt afforded relief, the moment it was applied to the parts ot the body where inflammation or pain existed-It at once re? lieved the patient of the most violent and excruciat? ing pangs and throbs of pam, and imparted the de? lightful sensation of ease and comfort. Every kind of pain, whether Rheumatism, Neu? ralgia. Toothache. Pal s in the Chest Side, Lungs. Stomach, Bowvls, Kidneys, Spine, Legs, Arms, Feet, one application was sufficient to kill and extern inate the pain. Taken internally, twenty drops to a teaspoonful would cure, and will cure, Asiatic Cholera, Fever and Ague, Chills and Fever.

CONGESTION OF THE LUNGS CURED IN THIRTY MINUTES! Important to Know how to Usc "Rad. way's Ready Relief" in Acute and Dangerous Attacks! UT OWN CASE. On Saturday night tho 19th, I was violently seized with Congestion of the Lungs. For a few days pre? vious I felt a dull pain over my left lung, with occasional coughs, bul being actively engaged, paid no attention to it When seized, the pam was so piercing, cutting and excruciating, that every breath drawn was like a red hot knife catting my lung. Be? ing absent from home, I sent out for three bottles ot RADWAY'S RELIEF, applied the entire lot to my lungs, back, shoulders, Ac, and m a few moments got up counter-Irritation. Respirations were easy, and, as the akin became reddened, all pain ceased. In half an hour I was tree from pain, and all signs of Congestion, Inflammation, Ac, gone. This is an important cure. It is well that every one should know bow to nse this remedy ia severe attacks. The same rule holds good In cases of Inflammation of the Loins, Bowels, Kidneys and Stomach. Apply the RELIEF freely; soak the skin with it It will instantly secure the withdrawal of the inflammation to the surface, and persons now suffering may, in THIRTY MINUTES, be free from pain. CHRONIC INFLAMMATION. In cases where inflammation has existed fer a length of time, in addition to the BELIEF, take six of BADWAY'S PILLS. Powder th<7?\ In half an hour, ia most cases, they will operate. If not re? peat the dose. In one or two hours at the furthest they will operate, and the patient soon get well. In Bilious, Typhoid, Fever and Ague, this treatment is sure to cure. Let it be tried. . JOHN EADWAY, M. D. MW Br. BADWAY'S REMEDIES are sold Dy Drug? gists and Storekeepers everywhere.
