We knew at once-from the color, taste and odorthat the fluid was not of our manufacture, and upon examination and analysis found it in every way totally unlike Fairchild's Essence and absolutely of no use for any of the purposes for which our Essence is employed. We so advised our correspondent, and received from him the following letter, which we have since obtained permission to use. It is respectfully submitted as suggesting that it has come to be necessary for the physician to exercise a certain degree of vigilance over the filling of his prescriptions, in order to protect himself and his patients from the possible evil results of substitution. "Messrs. Fairchild Bros. & Foster, Dear Sirs: Yours of the 3rd. inst., containing report of analysis of fluid sent, which was dispensed on my prescription as Fairchild's Essence of Pepsine, was received. I feel much indebted to you for your assistance to me 'in the interests of common honesty' as you so aptly express it. It was evidently rank substitution. I thank you very much for offering to help me further, but nothing more need be done, as the sinner is reaping his own reward, as he will not only lose an institution containing seventy-five people, but he will lose the good will and prestige of many of the best people of the town who are connected with the institution in various ways. Further, he will lose my support absolutely. Again thanking you most sincerely, believe me, One who will not stand substitution, M.D." Yame this Journal in Corresponding with Advertisers. 20 8 Diseases of the Rectum Dr. B. G.
