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 q 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 no way Of
Judging the future but by the past; and past
personal experiences is Of the same nature as
that history which repeats itself.
A representative Of this paper while
iounging in the lobby of a prominent 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 q 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 ind a
more extensive field 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. After 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.
-Yes." said the doctor. Il have improved
in health since you last saw me and / hope
also In many other ways. One thing, how
ever. Ihave succeeded In doing, and 1t Is one
Of the hardest things for any one, and es-
peciallyta physician, to do and that IL I have
overcome my ~prejudices. You know there
are some people b prefer TO remain on the
wrong rather than acknowledge the mani
fest right Such prejudice leads to bigetry of
the worst order. and of precisely the same
nature as characterized the sixteenth century
when people were burned at the stake. Now
l am a physicit an and of the old school order,
too; but l have after years OF experience and
observation come TO the conclusion that
truth is the highest of al things, and that II
prejudice or bigotry stand in the way of
truth@so much the worse for them-they are
certain to be crushed sooner or later. Why,
when l knew you In Detroit, l would have
no sooner thought OF violating the code OF
ethics laid down by the profession, or OF pre-
scribing anything out OF the regular order,
than [ would OF a nputating my hand. Now.
