    that of Jamaica ; Germantown, in Pennsylvania; Perth-Amboy, in New-Jersey, &c. and that I have taken the trouble to ob¬ tain documents respecting Huntington, on Long-Island. Having thus clearly and satisfactorily proved that the pro¬ ceeding of the honourable Board of Health of the city of New-York, as it regards me, is unjust, their accusation un¬ founded and inconsistent-, I will now conclude by tendering my respectful thanks to the reader, and to the forty-seven re¬ spectable and honourable physicians of this city who have as¬ sisted me in my inquiries, for the kind attention they have paid to the preceding pages, which I have been under the necessity of writing, for my own vindication, in a foreign lan¬ guage, and in great haste. 1 have taken this way of justifying myself before the world, having found that the newspapers were not open to me, or that I would be exposed in their columns to the improper interference of their editors. CHERVIN, D. M. P. Nezv-York, Nov. 13th, 1821.
