Editor Press and Standard:—
The topics of conversation now-a-
days are the doctors and their
trust or combination, just as you:
are pleased to call it. Even the
whiskey question seems to be
side tracked at present, and the
doctors and thenr trust have the
right of way. Some of the writer
have knocked some of the scales
off aud I want them all knocked
off until they look like a peeled
onion. I will say right here that
some of them are my personal
friends, and I believe they will
compare favorably with any of
onr country doctors Bnt doctors
yon have done & wrong thing,
