A representative of this paper nile
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 nnd 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. After some general
talk. the doctor fell into an easy train OF con-
versation and uttered some truths SO scien-
tihe and valuable. as to justify their repro
duction In print.
