Homoeopathic Fire

To the Editor : After reading in your paper wliat I did in regard to myself, I wish to say a few words. As the Dr. says, I was a charity patiënt, though I was not aware of lts being a charitable institution, and if so, wby should my expenses have been so much - from $4 to $10 per week ? If that ie the way to pay for charity, then why not pay at th same rate for glory ? I think after going through with what I did it was enough without being made to suffer any more through carelessness and neglect, which certainly was in my case, and then after being burned, to make my expenses more than if I had not been burned. If those that were to blame had made my expenses any less, then it would look a little more like injustice. But I will say this, after seeing what had been done: I had the best of care, and all was done for me then that could be done, and 1 feel very grateful to all for their more than ueual kindness and sympathy ; but that did not help my suLfering, neither did it give me back my limbs or health. and I certainly would rather have died under the knife than to have been left in the shape that I am and suffer what I do. Furthermore, the doctor said I was an object of disgust to those that carne in contact with me. That does not agree with what was told me while at the hospital. IJiffereiit ones told me it was a pleasure as well as profit to take care of me, and I do not think the doctor would have said what he did if I had held still and done nothing. But, doctor,let me ask you one question : had it been your wife or mother in my place, would you hold still and let such a thing pass unnoticed ? 1 cannot believe that any rational pergon would have done any different, and I feel as though I could not be left a cripple without health, limbs or means to help myself with, for I always had to work for a living, and now I am in shape that I can not work from the effects of the burning (or cooking would be more appropriate) and írom the operation. Now I will say to the public, takethis home to yourselves, then answer this question: would you have done any different?
