Wasn't I as pleased as punch to stumble across your most recent articles! I was simply over the moon! Who am I, you ask? An old friend, or an even older enemy? A member of The American Bureau of Ethical Medicine? A former patient or lover? But enough with speculations, I will reveal my identity soon enough! But first I must inform your dear readers, Dr., that your studies are, in fact, of the utmost scientific importance. Is the doctor immoral, does he perform risky and often unnessessary medical prcedures, and does he go through vagabonds, prostitutes, and orphins in muchn the same manner as a circus strong-man goes through raw egg yolks? Yes, but depite all that, and in the name of science, the Doctor continues to press on! Many have suggested that Dr. Macdougall's "experiments" are below the salt, beyond the pale, and (in the case of one pig-headed journalist) "a load of codswallop!" But do allow me state, in a few short words, the truth-simply and clearly:Yes, Dr. Macdougall's experimants are wrong and evil, but the doctor conducts them as a gesture of self-sacrifice, so the world may have the information a lesser man would have kept us from knowing due to the evilness of the actions needed to procure said information. But I digress! Doctor, we have some catching up to do! Yes, I have been fascinated with your studies for years, and was quite distraught when you disapeared from the public eye for the past several years after that scandalous story. What was it again? Oh yes, that orphin boy you used to have helping you conduct your experiments! Ahh yes, I rememeber, you were quite fond of him, isn't that so? I do believe you used to have tea with him every night before you retired for the evening. But, if my memory serves me correctly, your fascination with the human ability to adapt to larger and larger amounts of poisoned tea caused you to be, shall I say, hoisted by your own petard? And when the boy lapsed into what seemed to be a permenant coma, you were moved to beat a hasty retreat and burry him alive in Mrs. Honeyspoon's garden? But you'd be surprised how long one can survive on tullip roots, especially while unconsious! And oh, the glory of seeing the sun again after several fortnights of darkness! Yes, Wakefield Caldwell Macdougall, I am alive! Care to join me soon for a cup of poison tea? Ahhh, Dr. MacDougall! Wasn’t I as pleased as punch to stumble across your most recent articles!
