all other persons in the same ungracious dilemma, instead of
justifying himself by reason or argument, had recourse to
recrimination. In the paper which he sent me next day, he
insisted in general that he had carefully perused the case (which
you will perceive was a self-evident untruth); he said the theory
it contained was idle; that he was sure it could not be written
by a physician; that, with respect to the disorder, he was still
of the same opinion; and adhered to his former prescription; but
if I had any doubts I might come to his house, and he would
resolve them.

his house.

a large share of reputation. I have no doubts remaining; thank
Heaven and monsieur Fizes."
To this I received for answer. "Monsieur n'a plus de doutes: j'en
suis charme. Receu douze livres.
