His Revelations Upon Subject Of Vital In
terest to All.
The experience of any one of education and
learning extending over a long period of time
must necessarily be valuable, and while no two
experiences in this world are alike, there is
such similarity between them as to render
one which is rich in valuable facts of benefit
to all. Americas greatest orator declared
at 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 loung-
ing in the lobby of 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 number of years.
When the knight of the quill had last seen this
entleman, he was giving his entire time and
attention to an extensive medical practice, and
was on the crest of the wave of popularity.
TrOm Detroit he removed to New York where
ie could find q more extensive field for his
talents and experience. Although several
years had passed, the DOCTORS ply steal con-
dition had evidently very much improved, for
man of the news had last seen him. After
some general talk, the doctor fell into an easy
train of conversation and uttered some truths

reproduction in print.
"Yes," said the doctor, ~ have improved
in health since you last saw me and I hope
also in many other ways. One thing, how

Of the hardest things for any one, and especi-
come my prejudices. You know there arc
some people who prefer to remain in the
wrong rather than acknowledge the manifest
right. Such prejudice leads to bigotry of the
worst order. and of precisely the same nature
as characterized the sixteenth century when
people were burned at the stake. Now I am
aphysician 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 all things, and that if pre-
judice or bigotry stand in the way Of truth,
so much the worse for them-they are certain
to be crushed sooner or later. Why, when
knew you in Detroit, would have no sooner
thought Of violating the code of ethics laid
down by the profession, or ofprescrfbing any
thing out of the regular order, than I would

Invariably, and it is sufficient ground for

it; they are fettered by the code, and have only
their personal influence to depend upon in

"How did you come to get such heretica'
ideas as these. doctor ?"
"Oh, they are the result of my experience
and observation. I obtained my first ideas
