LETTER: Dr. J. Forsyth Patrick, 15 Chatham Street, Manchester, to Dr. Thomas, congratulating him on obtaining his diploma and informing him that the professional homeopaths of Manchester have prepared and signed a memorial to the Senators of the Philadelphia College regarding one William Smith, a paper hanger by trade, who had formally been employed as a dispenser at the Manchester Homeopathic Hospital. Having been dismissed from this post he was latterly practising homoeopathy illegally in Oldham, making a public announcement that he had obtained his diploma from the Philadelphia College. The memorial signed by Dr. Walker, Dr. Harrison, Dr. McDowell, Dr. Patrick, Mr. Thompson and Mr. Browne asked the Senators of Philadelphia College to supply proof of William Smith’s claims and to consider recalling Smith’s diploma. Dr. Patrick concludes by asking Dr. Thomas to send any information he might think relevant to Philadelphia and to let Dr. Patrick know what his intentions concerning this matter would be.
