Editor Press and Standard: 1 guess you and the pul lie generally, are becoming a little tired because of the continued disemsion of tham- noted resolutions of the Medical Society of the county. I deem it altogether unneecmary for me to have anything further to siy in the line of this disciusion. I very respectfully ask you, Mr Editor, to allow me through y\)ur columns to answer ctrtain questions asked by Dr Kershaw. As he refers to my articles as pub lished recently in your paper. But before 1 answer his questions 1 am forced to express great surpi is» at the way and manner the doctor * writes. j- Why my goodness, nobody ban raid anything against the Media] Society. 1 am sure 1 have not. We all know that there should ke an as sociation irt Colleton, lut like all j other societies, it is liable to slip up sometimes, and it is this ‘‘slip up” that we complain of. - If we ever import a doctor here in this neighborhood, we will not ob ject to his joining the society. We hope he will do so. He can be help ful to others and get good out of it ior himself and us. Now 1 have no apology to make for what I have said concerning those noted resolutions. In fact, I am glad the matter has been agi tated; but I have been somewhat curious to know how it is, that thoee resolutions contain so much elarti- city, for when I read them 1 find m> exception made as to Mr A, Mr B nor myself. But when the dtrctorw give tRenfa pull their way they all say they did not mean us. Well, i maybe I am not literal, so 1 leave it as one of the great mysteries, i I will now proceed to answer the Dr Kershaw’s questions.
