Miss Tennie Mayfield and sister, of Highland, were visiting Miss Jessie KolK-'Son last week. Dee Wright, deputy marshal of Lileral, was buying young cattle this If auch a thins as dispute should arite between physicians In a community, and u?h a thing should agitata the public mind and Interest of the people, then it Is only fair that such dispute be placed In proper light before the citlims. This I will endeaver to do In my letter, after which all Indignities will be treated as per sonal matters Instead cf professionally, as the precedent Is unmistakable. Ia last week's Issue of the "Press," was published a remarkable effusion of words concurring lbs Diphtheria case. '.1 de nounce the article as being as Indefinite, as Incomplete and as false as sin la base. As regards the case of EJ Shea: I never sw him either living or dead; neither did I ever remark to any one that be died of Diphtheria; however, I did my own thluk ing. On the evening of March 0th, I was called to see tils special friend (who bad nursed and slept with bliu during bis ill ness) S. J. Burford, and found hlra suf fering with a very bad sore throat on which was forming a very suspicious membrane. I remarked that it looked like a developing case of Diphtheria, but would not say pos itively until mornlDg; meanwhile 'kept people out of the room. Next morning I visited the patient and found one of the nest defined and most tVDlcal eases of Diphtheria that I bad ever :tn. I at once diagnosed the case as such and ordered the quarantine flag to be put up and sent to Portland for Antitoxins. The news of the diagnosis spread rapidly and In a short time the physicians who bad treated Ed Sbea heard of It and one went to a friend of Burford and solicited him to get me to allow him to see the pa tient with me in consultation. I thought of foul play and at first refused, giving my reasons that be would be of no benefit in the case ; but, as this friend Insisted I allowed It: the consultant then withdrew from the case. I remained with the pa tient as his attending physician, and the one of his choice. I then made another visit and on my way back to my office, looked down the alley and found that the forced consultant had without lief or license, or my knowledge ot what was going on, gone away and brought two other Doctors to go with him In my absence to see my patient and bluff me off and take charge of the case If possible. Seeing this I walked Into Harding's drug store and telegraphed to Dr. Byron E. Miller, of Portland, to come to Oregon City on next car, which he did. The three Doctors went in and looked bltn over called bis dlseaie "tonsilltis," spoke of that man be had to treat him, &., and one of the Doctors knowing so little of the contageousness of the disease remarked to patient: "blow your breath In my face sir," which was done, but as it was early in the dlseaie and no loose membrane in the throat the Doctor escaped the contageon. Well, the tug of war began to see who could out clever for the patient. One of the Djctors (the stiff one) informed the patient that he should h treated by a very competent doctor, and Informed hlra that he was one of the examiners at the State Board of Oregon, and of course that was sufficient reference to suspend and render transparency to any mortal man. The patient became very nervous, though firmly and positively informed the pre suming Doctors that he was satisfied with the physicians In charge and would contin ue In his care. The Doctors left and in a few minutes I was visited by the chief of Police and Chairman of the health com mittee, informing me that the other doc tors said It was not diphtheria and desired to take down the flag. I informed them of the steps that I wis taking and assured them that I would prove the correctness at my diagnosis, At 1 o'clock, P. M., Drs. B. E. Miller of Portland, and J. WNorrls of Oregon City, arrived and visited the patient with me. They at once pronounced the case Diphtheria, and remarked that It wua a very bud caae, and that I should be guard ed in my prognosis as his recovery was doubtful. I assured them all that I would save him with the new Antitoxine treat mentthat I had used it frequently before and bad not lost a caae and did not pro pose to. Dr. Miller took a fragment of sputum from patlenta throat, wrapped It up in an antifebrln paper, which is a pow erful germicide and took It to Portland. The next day Portland was besieged by one of the oppoaiDg doctors, who visited those Interested and tried with all bis might to get them to reverse their opinion, after having given it so freely. As bac teriologists are very scarce In Portland It is easy enough to find tbern, and the won der to me Is that the one there who bad the sputum was able to see a ruicrococl or even the indignant cock-eyed monster who confronted him with so much anx iety. If one specimen proves unsatisfactory under the microscope, another should be tried, and even again and again. On the night after the visit from the Oregon City doctor, Dr Miller again came to Oregon City and brought with hlra two culture tubes, and placed within then, fragments of mem brane from patients throat and sent same east to a man who is competent and at the same time too far away to be visited. The next day came and It was reported that Dr, Miller bad reversed bis disgnoais. I .wrote and asked him if sucb could b possible, and asksd bim to write ma bis present impressions of the case. He wrote at once and remarked that to every one to whom be had spoken concerning the eaa, that it waa, in bis opinion on of the moat pronounced and well daflned case of aw POWDER Absolutely Pure. rplchmU'd fur lit irmlt Imvetilnir Mtn-nirtli mirl h('Hlihfiilm'ii. gFiirc the food RKnlnt alum anil nil liirma of Hilulleralicii ooiiimuu lo the cheap bruinlx. boy At. iiakino rownra co.. nrw youk. Dlptherla he had ever seen. Again, on the night or the 12b, I sent for Dr. G. M. Wells, of Portland, and he came promptly, examined the caso and gave a written tes timonial that he had no hesitancy in diag nosing the case as Diphtheria. Also in dorsed the treatment and regarded the prompt effect of Dyphtheria Antitoxins on dyphtherla as diagnostic as the germ thereon. The next day he was beslged by one of the presuming dootors and rubbed up one aide and don the other; yet, be held onto bis diagnosis and does to this day, ao lie informed me laat night.

Two were burrled yeater- terday whose deatha were caused by "ton ailitls. ,' I do not suppose it really make any difference to the people if we call it Socragee, provided we, as far as possible prevent its spread aud cure ita victims. Th public will bear me out that I have done my part of it, and if others fall Into my care they will receive the same treat ment and be cured of what I call diph theria. Tills sore throat is a disease of great antiquity, and no physician should be mis taken In It, as Its symptoms are a differ ent from other throat diseases as differ the features of the face. Three thousaod years ago It was called Egyptian sore throat; later Putrid sore throat; still later D ptherU, and finally In the far west " Tonsllitis." In conclusion will say that I have, front hearsay, submitted to more abuse and nUnderover tni c tsa tluu over all things elite iu my past life. Many threats bave come to my ears, and I wish to say with nil due reference to the seniority of hlra who said It, and to bis premature gray locks, whether they be the result of early piety or the reverse, if auy one desires to settle controversity with me, would be glad if that person or persons would be gallant enough to settle same face to face aud man to man.
