    LESS AND A CRUELLY PERSECUTED INDIVIDUAL—that you have received from the medical profession not that impartial evidence which they would have vouch- safed to have given towards a licensed practitioner; and I do not say too much, when I assert, that there are usually two species of medical evidence given, although perhaps unconsciously, one for the licensed practitioner, the other for the unlicensed. I know, Sir, very little of you or your practice, therefore I hope the public will deem me to be disin- terested, but at the same time no timid or servile fol- lower of medical opinions and doctrines, which ex- perience too often shews to be fluctuating and unde- termined. I remain, Sir, Your obedient servant, FRANCIS H. RAMADGE, M.D. Oxon, Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, and Lecturer on Medicine, &c &c. John St. John Long, Esq., Harley Street.
