A Rich Experience
What a Prominent and Well
Known New York Physi-
clan Told a Reporter.
His Revelations upOna susIec. OF Vital
tsnest 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 a 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
judging the future but by the past; and past
personal experience is of the same natuiu as
that history which repeats itself.
A representative Of this papeI lille
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 find u
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. After 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

fest right. Such prejudice leads to bigotry OF
the worst order, AID Of precisely the same
nature as characterize the sixteenth century
when people were burned at tue stake. Now
l am a physici an and of the old school order,
too; but l have after years of experience and
observation come to the conclusion that
truth is the highest of al things, and that II
prejudice or bigotry stand in the way of
truth-so much the worse Tor them-they are
certain to be crushed sooner or later. Why.
when 1 knew you in Detroit, 1 would have
no sooner thought OF violating the code Of
ethics laid down by the profession. or OF pre-
scribing anything out of the regular order,
than | would ola lputating my hand. Now,
however. l prescribe and advise those

SUCH"
This is rather an unusual way for a ply
sician to talk, is 1t not, DOCTOR"
Certainly 1t is: it is way outside OF our
code of ethics, bur 1 have grown far beyond
the code. l have all 1 can attend TO. and am
determined TO be honest with my patients
and with mankind, whether my brother
physicians are with me or not. Why, / pre-
scribe medicines every day, some OF them
so-called patent medicines, which would
ender me liable to expulsion from The med
ical fraternity. but 1 am Supremacy indid-
erent to their laws"
Are the medical fraternity Of the country
combined against proprietary medicines,
doctor?'
Invariably. and 1t is sufficient ground for
expulsion from any medical society in the
land to prescribe any patent medicine what
ever. no matter If it is inside from M
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 aud insist
upon their enforcement in order TO keep the
younge 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 a hard time OF IT; they are fet-
teredby the code. and have only their per-
sonal influence to depend upon in securing
practice"
How did you come to get such hereticai
ideas as these, doctor?''
"Oh, they are the result of my experience
and observation. l obtained my first ideas
upon the subject. however, from having been
cured after all my care and the skill of my
professional brethren had failed to relieve
me. Why. l was SO badly OF with n compli-
cation of troubles, including dyspepsia, and
consequently imperfect kidneys and liver.
that 1 feared / should have to give up my
pi actice. For more than a month L could
not sit down or get up without the most in
tense agony, and ] was suffering all the
while. some one advised ME to go out Of
the regular channels and try a. remedy that
was becoming quite famous for the remarka-
Bile cures 1t was effecting; but my prejudice
was altogether TOO strong for that. However,

Well SIR, it was a revelation to ms; for In ali
my medical experience 1 never saw anything

Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. That

assure you. 1 went TO reading extensively
and analyzing more extensively. and /

them found perfectly useless, being COM

1 found made up from prescriptions used by
physicians In their every day practice; but
out of the entire number l found oniy two

Indeed we are prescribing things con.

the medical fraternity be prejudiced against
those prescriptions which they are writing
by wholesale and are sold with n government
stamp on the wrapper. l saw Its manifest
absurdity and resolved that / would be bound

scribed proprietary remedies neyrly every
day, in my practice, and / have no reason to

a serious female difficulty and displacement
to use this same Kidney and Liver Cure that
cured me. i saw her this morning and she
is nearly well; the pain and inflammation aie
are all gone and she Is around as usual. We
have no right in the medical fraternity to sit
back and declare there is no improvement
or advancement, or that we have IL monop-
oily OF the remedies which nature has gwen
TO mankind. There are great changes going
on in every department OF life and there are
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 trichi-
ma. and the result OF eating poorly cooked
eases arise from imperfect kidneys and liver.
The liver becomes clogged, and its work is
thrown on the kidneys; they become over
worked and break down, and SO the poison
gets into the blood instead of being thrown
from the system. No one with perfect kid
neys and liver Is ever troubled with malaria;
