To The Editor Of The Time...
I AnvvRTTrF.rrF.1 Sir,-F'or somne tinme past refiectiuns injurious to our repuu.ttiowr tave very frequently appeared in the fediclAdeisrr. The pro- pric:orsof that work, sensible tbat they have been grossly intposrd upon. have published an address to their readers, in the last nam- ber, wherein riiey make the asne-nde ?wroebSle. lThe following are extracts from that address (vide No. 42):- " We have now to express our regret that .ve have been the mesns of giving publicitv to that which subsequent inquiries have con- vinced us was unfounded. UVe are now speaking of all those parts where aliusions have been made to Messrs. Goss and Co., Bouveric- street, Fleet-street. The allusions made to the professional cldimc of tiat firm were made from infornmation we had received that the gentlemen comducting it were not regular practitioners. Subsequent inquiries have con,vinced us, that such in&orm-tie= must have been given to i;tlose upon us: indeed, we have much pleasAre in staring that they are memsbers of the Royal College of Surgeons, and that their professional education has been regular and liberal." Anxiety to rescue our charActer from undeserved reproach rmust plead our excuse for requesting an early insertion of the above. We remain, Sir. Your obedient servants.
