DR. ANNA POTTS.

Dr. J. C Gilbert* an Aswtie»s» lecturer. Bow i» W«tlnj!(tnw, writ*# as follows «w #h» Evening Post r—Und*r the oe * Who t»MnDr Poets *' I en'.rcf y«o wish tn» b* told somwUhiair aiou*. him of her. I happen to know sntnothmi rl Mrs Potts, t know sft<r is qoitp v clVver woman and a graduate of thv axediett t oi■versity rf Philadelphia ; that »h« bw B<r«a BWrtieti; h«#<* famtlysf children, who mtw ll b« nearly or quite »fag» no *, who call h«r mother; and that peepttf, Iccladto? tHe medical faculty an<l others wh*» know her and have known her for years, never dotttaed that eft# waa a woman. I may W j | am oo« Mr* Potts'* champion -»m not eveti her friend—»ad I d«» not believe Io her quack practice of medicine, twe»uaw 1 jo nob betiev* in th« drag system of medicntioe, —althooirb 1 beßevc she has as mad m Tight ta droff people as ether aoctim have.—but I deem it only due tr» the public to s'ate what I know on toforomtieo whichi I deeta as reliabte as that which coavloces me that Queen Victoria {* a wsm:»n; and I trust that no ' venerable * or ether female* will p» into hysterics over th# humbugging assumption that Mrs Pott* i* not a woman. I may say for the information of those who are anxious to kim* the ftct* abr>at _ Mrs Pott* that they may obtain all th*> information they desire by writing tra tbe medfeal faculty of the M«dio»l Ifniversity at Phi&tdelphia ; and I judgo it would be quite a* manly to> do this before 1 publishing a* to slander a woman in her absence, and when it iis oat of her power to defend herself. I trust yo« will pardon this treses** on your space for the take of the Inu and fair play."
