Marion Sims' Pamphlet, Entitled "the Woman's Hospital in 1874" IN March, 1877, a biographical sketch of Dr. J. Marion Sims was published in this city, and widely distributed to members of the medical profession, in which distinct charges were made against us of unfairness to him while our colleague in the W0 man's Hospital. In a statement made by us on May 5th, we gave a simple narration of the facts connected with Dr. Sims' separation from that hospital, and made an explicit denial of the allegations against us; our object being merely to vindicate our selves without imputing wrong intentions to any one else. On the first of J nnc a pamphlet in reply to our statement was pub lished by Dr. Sims, and to this we now respond, lest our silence might seem to give consent to the groundless charges it contains. It sets forth his present feeling toward us, and assumes to de scribe our former sentiments toward him. But since we believe that the profession feels very little interest in our likes or dis likes, we shall not aim to produce a sentimental or sensational document. Either we have been guilty of grossly unworthy conduct toward Dr. Sims, or we have been outrageously maligned by him. We court the fullest and severest scrutiny of our con duct, and we shall make a dispassionate and just statement in regard to his; and perhaps Dr. Sims will better know how to gauge his sympathy for ns - of which he is now so liberal (p. - after our task is completed. We do not accept his remark that in every medical quarrel there is wrong on both sides. We have done Dr. Sims no wrong whatsoever, in any respect.
