The experience OF any one of education
and learning extending over q long period of
time must necessarily be valuable. and
h 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 natuIv as
thai history which repeats itself.
A representative Of this paper 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 u 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 10 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-
IL 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

are some people Ii prefer TO remain on the

when people were burned at the stake. Now
1 am q physici IN and of the old school order,
too; but I have after years Of experience and
observation come 10 the conclusion that
truth is the highest of all 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, i would have
no sooner thought of violating the code Of

"Invariabiy. and 1t is sufficient ground for
expulsion from any medical society in the
land TO prescribe any patent medicine what
eye err, no matter II 1t Is made from an
exact formula, such MS 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 encroaching upon the already estab
lished 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 nave only their per-
