A Rich Experience.
What a Prominent and Well
Known New York Physi-
clan Told a Reporter.
His Revelations Upon Subject Of Vital Ii.
terest to All.


From the Detroit Free Press.
The experience of any one of education
and learning extending over a long period OF
time must necessarily be valuable. and
while no two experiences in this world are
alike there is such a similarity between
them as TO render one which is rich in vaiu-
able facts OF benefit to all. Americas great
est orator declared that he knew of no way of
Judging the future but by the past; and past
personal experience is of the same nature as
that history which repeats Itself.
A representative of this paper while
~lounging in the lobby Of a PROMINENT New
York hotel, met a gentleman whom he had
known years before in the city OF Detroit.
but whom he had not seen before for a num-
Der OF years. When the knight Of the quill
had last seen this gentleman, he was giving
his entire time and attention TO an extensive
medical Practice. and was on the crest Of the
wave OF popularity. From Detroit he re-
moved 10 New York where he could hnd a
more extensive field for his talents and ex-
perience. Although several years had passed
the doctors physical condition had evident
~ been very much improved. for he was
looking much better than when the man OF
news had last seen him. After some general
talk. the doctor fell into an easy train OF con-
yersation and uttered some truths so scien-
tine and valuable, as TO justify their repro
duction In print.

Invariably. and 1t is sufficient ground for
expulsion from any medical society in the
land to prescribe any patent medicine what

exact formula, snch as physicians
are using every day. You see the code Is
established and sustained by old physicians.
