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

judging the future but by the past; and past
personal experience Is OF the same naturv as
that history which repeats itself.
A representative ef this paper lille
lounging in the lobby of a prominent New
York hotel. met . 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
rave OF popularity. From Detroit he re-
moved to New YORK where he could hnd 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-
tinc and valuable. as to justify their repro
duction In print.
-Yes." said the doctor. Il have improved
in health since on last saw me and 1 hope

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

are some people who prefer to remain ON the
wrong rather than acknowledge the mani

the worst order. and of precisely the same
nature as characterized the sixteenth century
when people were burned at tue stake. Now

"Invariably, and IL is sufficient ground for

land to prescribe any patent medicine what

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
younser doctors from obtaining a foothold
and encroaching upon the already estab
lished practice ofthe older ones. This is
largely the reason why young physicians
have such n nard time of 1T; they are fet-

How did you come To get such heretcal
