The experience OF any one OF education
and learning extending over a long period of
time must necessarily be valuable, aud
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 10 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 us
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 ~xtensiv
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 for his talents and ex-
p~erience. 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 al easy train OF con-
versation and uttered some truths so scien-
tin and valuable. as to justify their repro
duction In print.
Yes" said the doctor. Il nave improved

ever, Ihave kucceeded in doing, and II is one
ofthe hardest things for any one, and es-
pecially.a physician. to do and that is have
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

observation come to the conclusion thai
truth is the highest of al things, and that If
prejudice or bigotry stand in the way OF

certain to be crushed sooner or later. Why.

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 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 to keep the
younger doctors from obtaining a foothold
and eneroaching upon the airead, estab
Hshed 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

How did you come to get such heretIcal
ideas as these, DOCTOR"

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 .richi-
ma. and the result Of eating poorly cooked
eases arise from imperfect kidneys aud liver.
The liver becomes clogged, and Its work is
worked and break down, and so the poison
gets Into the blood instead OF being thrown
from the system. No one with perfect kid

and 1t is the poisonous particles which these
diseased organs allow TO get into the blood
that clog the capillaries O. the lungs and
cause tubercles and consumption. Thou

dropsy as the sequel to scarletina, when in
reality II Is diseased kidneys which have
become weakened by the fever they nave

one in ten people who have diseased kidneys
