A Rich Experience.
What a Prominent and Well
Known New York Physi-
clan Told a Reporter.
Mis- 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 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 experience is of the same nature as
that history which repeats itself.
A Representative of this paper while
~lounging In theiobby of q 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 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 lind a
more extensive held 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-
tihc 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 1 hope

ever. Ihave succeeded in doing, and 1t is one
OF the hardest things for any one, and es-
