What a Prominent and Well
Known New York Physi-
clan Told a Reporter.
His Revelations Upon a Subject OF Vital In
terest 10 All.

est orator declared thai 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 promint nj New
York hotel. met q 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 quln
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 To New York where he could find a
more extensive field ior his talents and ex-
perience. Although several years had passed
the doctors physical condition had widen
~ been very much improved. for he was
looking much better than when the man OF
news had last seen him. Alter some general
talk. the doctor fell into an easy train of con-
versation and uttered some truths so scien-
tinc and valuable. as To Justify their repro
duction IN print.
"Ies," said the doctor. Il nave improved
in health since GU last saw me and l hope

ever. have succeeded In doing, and IL is one
of the hardest things for any one, and es-
pecially. : physician, to do and that isl have
overcome my ~prejudices. You know there
are some people who prefer to remain ON the
wrong rather than acknowledge the mani

prejudice or bigotry stand in the way of

certain to be crushed sooner or later. Why.
when / knew you In Detroit, l would nave
no sooner thought of violating the code of
ethics laid dow by the profession, or OF pre-
scribing anything out OF the regular order,
than { would OF a nputating my hand. Now,
however. 1 prescribe and advise those
things which l believe TO be adapted to cure,
and which my experience has proven TO be

This is rather an unusual way for a ply
sician to talk. is 1t not. doctorg''
"Certainiy 1t is: 1t is way outside OF our
code of ethics, bur l have grown far beyond
the code. l have all l can attend to, and am
determined to be honest with my patients
and with mankind. whether my brother

scribe medicines every day, some OF them

render me liable to expulsion from the med
icai fraternity. but l am supremely indif-
srent to their laws"
Are the medical fraternity OF the country

DOCTOR"
Invariably. and It is sufficient ground for
expulsion from any medical society In the
land to prescribe any patent medicine what
ever, no matter II II is made from an
exact formula, such MS physicians
are using every day. You see the code is
established and SUSTAINED by old physicians,
lii myself. who make the rules and insist
upon their enforcement in order to keep the
youneer doctors from obtaining a foothold
and encroaching upon the airead, estab
lished practice ofthe older ones. This is
largely the reason why young physicians
have such a hard time of 1t; they are fet-
tered by the code. and have only their per-
sonal influence to depend upon In securing
practice"
Ideas us these, DOCTOR"
"oh, they are the result of my experience
and observation. l obtained my first ideas
upon the subject, however. from having been
cured after all my care and the skill of my
professional brethren had failed to relieve

cation OF troubles, including dyspepsia, and
consequently imperfect kidneys and liver.
