' poH'd to, accept the result of the de

lishes a particulaWy tnimbastic leading
irtiele to the effect that, the Philip
pines will decline t permit their homes
to be bought-and sold like merchan
dise. It then repeats that the Philip
pines are ready to fight in defence of
ih-eyr rights and asserts that the' gov
ernment and people are unanimous in
claming nothing less than independ
ence. The paper also. -claims that the

The Result of Imperfect DlsetIon of

Every, living thing, plant or animal,

certain df?cay and death.
. In the' .human body these germs of
disease'and death (called .by scientists
Ptomaines), are unusually jth result
of imperfect digestion of food; the re
sult of .indigestion or dyspeppia.
The stomach, from-abuse, Wwakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly
digest the food. The.result-isja heavy,
sodden: mass Which ferments "(the first
process of decay), poisoning the blood,
making it thin, weak and lacking tn

To' the Publip: ''
I ask the ouhiie to please read,
again, the article in The Messenger of
November 30th. which applies to the
City Hospital and, myself. r
Dr. Wertenbaker says, he d-tailed me
to act as manager and resident physi
sian and if I was satisfactory he w ould
make: "the appointment permanent;
and says he tried hie several weeks
and that I proved unsatisfactory to the
board of mangj-rs, the board of "regents
and hirrjSelf. .'-.." i
Dr. Wertepbaker -took charge Octo
ber. 2nd. I had. a higii fever on the 7th.
Sth and 9th and on about the 12th had
a hard chill and was in bed one week.
On the- first day that I was able to
leave my'.room. Dr. Wertenbaker in
formed me that he and the chairman
of the board of managers had decided
that I could not fill both positions, hav
ing given me sufficient trial, and that
he had already suggested Dr. Burwell
to fill the position. In the: meantime,
not one of the board of "managers had
been to the hospital and not one of the
regents except Dr. Love, 5 w ho come
after I was 'unable to w ork..
.He says Dr. Burwell had trouble
with nie and. voluntarily resigned. Dr.
Burwell insulted the. ladies as well .as
myself: at the supper table and I re
sented th" insult. Dr. Burbank said
I ought to ' haye slapjied ' him in the.
mouth. Please -ask any one of the
board why Dr. Burwell was sent home.
Ask Dr. Wertenbaker if I ever had
trouble with Dr. Burwell until I re
sented an insult , to ladies and to my
self at the suppe table.
... Ask Dr. Wertenbaker if I have ever
had. trouble with Dr. Fife until No
vember 29th, -when he . said he cared
nothing for Wilmington news, for Wil
mington people and Wilmington were
nothing to him. I did not . resent hav
ing either of these gentlemen 'over me.
Ask the board of managers or " board,
of regents individually why my ser
vices were unsatisfactory. How could
they know this without having been
at the hospital?
Ask Dr. Wertenbaker who advised
me in the kindest manner to resign.
Ask him a thousand other questions
which he cannot answer. He says he
knew neither Drs. Burwell or Fife. Dr.
Burwell was a personal friend of Dr
Wertenbakep's. Dr. Fife arid Dr. Wer
tenbaker eamejrnm Charlottesville, a
small town in A'irginia. Ask Dr. Wer
tenbaker if he knew Dr. Fife's father
personally. Ask Dr. Werthbaker how
many necessary .things he bought for
the hospital in October and especially
in November?. Ask Dr. Wertenbaker
If the large amount of money, spent for
ambulances was necessary? Ask Dr.
Wertenbaker if he did not advise me
to go down town and apply for posi
tion as drug clerk?, Ask him if he ever
offered to assist : me until he offered
to "assist" me out of the hospital? Ask
him why I was unable to fill the posi
tion of chief officer of the hospital.
Ask him to compare for you the ex
penses in October with those in Sep
tember and, then note the difference in
the amount of taxes. . Ask him, ask
him, ask him!
Ask Dr. Lpve rr Dr. Burbank why
it took them eighteen month to find
out that I was incompetent. Ask Dn
Burbank if he did not, say I -was doing
toV much work at the hospital. Ask
e'i.ther of them if they ever found fault
in any way, with"me until. Dr. Wer
tenbaker ' came t.oi the hospital. Ask
them . why they , did not : Inform me
if they, found me Incompetent. Ask
either of therri if -we have not been the
best of friends until now, and ask them
if not away down in their hearts they
have not the same feeling of friend
ship for me. Ask them, ask them, ask
them! ,' c '
Ask Captain Jiio. L. Boatwright if
he did not tell -me he and T were no
longer friends. Ask him In what I was
incompetent. Ask him how many days
he and: Dr. C P. Wertenbaker spent
in trying to find out whether -or not I
could be discharged.
Ask him, ask him, ask him!
