Rich Experience.
What a Prominent and Well
Known New York Physi-
clan Told a Reporter.
His Revelations Upon a Subject Of Vital In.
ierest to All.


From the Detroit Free Press.
The experience of any one OF education
and learning extending over q 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 beneft 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
~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 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 practise. 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. Alter 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
duction In print.
YES" said the doctor, Il have improved

ever. Ihave succeeded In doing, and 1t is one
OF the hardest things for any one. and es-
pecially a 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
fest right. Such prejudice leads to blgotry OF
the worst order. and of precisely the same
nature as characterized the sixteenth century
when people were burned at the stake. Now

Are the medical fraternity OF the country
combined against proprietary medicines,
doctor?'
Invariably. and II is sufficient ground for
expulsion from any medical society In the
land to prescribe any patent medicine what
eSer, no matter II 1t is made from an
exact formula, such as physicians
are using every day. You see the code is
established and ~sustainedby 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 encroaching upon the airead, estab-
lished practice ofthe older ones. This Is
largely the reason why young physicians
nave such a hard time of 1t; they are fet
teredby the code. and have only their per-
sonal influence to depend upon in securing
practice"

thousands Of people die every year from

Inc liver BECOMES clogged, and its work is

gets into the blood instead OF being thrown
