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 valu-
able facts of benefit to all. Americas great
est orator declared that he knew OF n way
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 lille
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 To New York where he could md a
more extensive neld for his talents and ex-
perience. Although several years had passed
the doctors physical condition had evident
ly 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-
the and valuable, as to justify their repro
duction in print

ever, Ihave succeeded in doing. and II is one
of the hardest things for any one, and es-
pecially a physician. TO do and that Is 1 have
overcome my prejudices. You know there
are some people who prefer to remain on the

the worst order. and of precisely the same
nature as characterized the sixteenth century
when people were burned at the stake. Now

Invariably. and 1t is sufficient ground for
expulsion from any medical society in the
land to prescribe any patent medicine what
ev err, no matter II II is made from an
exact formula, such as physicians
are using every day. You see the code is
established and sustained by old physicians,
like myself, who make the rules aud insist
Upon their enforcement in order 10 keep the
ung doctors from obtaining "a foothold
and encroaching upon the already estab
lished practice ofthe older ones. This is
largely the reason why young physicians
have such q hard time OF 1t; they are fet-
tered by the code. and have only their per-
sonal influence to depend upon In occurring

"How did you come to get such heretical
ideas as these. doctor:'
"Oh, they are the result of my experience
and observation. l obtained my first ideas
upon the subject, however, from having been

professional brethren had failed to relieve
me. Why. 1 was so badly of with a compii-

that 1 feared l should have TO give up my

have no right In the medical fraternity To sit

oily of the remedies which nature has gwen
to mankind. There are great changes going
on in every department OF life and there are
great Developments In medicine as well.
Thousands OF people die every year from
supposed typhoid fever, rheumatism or other
complaints, when in reality 1t is from trichi-
ma, and the result of eating poorly cooked
or diseased pork. A vast majority of all dis
cases arise from imperfect kidneys and liver.
The liver becomes clogged, and its work is
thrown on the kidneys; they become over
| worked and break down, and SO the poison
| gets into the blood instead OF being thrown
| from thesystem. No one with perfect kid
| neys and liver is ever troubled with maiaria;
| and 1t is the poisonous particles which these
| diseased organs allow to get into the blood
