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 To New York where he could ind a
more extensive neId 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. Aner some general
talk. the doctor fell into an easy train OF con
versation and uttered some truths SO scien-
tihc and valuable. as to justify their repro

OF the hardest things for any one, and es-

overcome my prejudices. You know there
are some people who prefer to remain on the
wrong rather than acknowledge the mani
fest right. Such prejudice leads to bigotry OF
the worst order, and of precisely the same
nature as characterized the sixteenth century
when people were burned at the stake. Now

Invariably. and II is sufficient ground for
expulsion from any medical society In the
land TO prescribe any patent medicine what
ever. no matter II 1t 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 and insist
upon their enforcement In order 10 keep the
younger doctors from obtaining a foothold
and encroaching upon the alread, estab-
lished practice ofthe older ones. This is
largely the reason why young physicians
have such a hard time OF IL; they are fet-
tered by the code. and have only their per-
sonal influence to depend upon In securing
