ALLISON ___ As a certain worthy signed himself by way of distinction DOCTOR BROWN ; has chosen to attack me in the last smut machine, alias CADIZ SENTINEL, I take the liberty offered through your press of sustaining my reputation, upon the testimony of my neighbors. The Doctor, if he should undertake a similar task where he is known could no doubt procure a long list of names, certifying that he perscribed "parched corn" as a pergative, and "sarsaparilla mead" as a refreshing , healthy beverage and "pole cat grease" as a priceley healing sanative. But as Doctor Brown, being a sober, respectible and industrious mechanic. That is the rub. We, the subscribed believe CYRUS BARTOW to be a sober, respectable and industrious mechanic and a man of good reputation. John Strode Eliot Lamb Robert H. Evans Joshua Thompson Samuel Bonsall B. L.
