4 Rich Experience.
What a Prominent and Well
Known New York Physi-
clan Told a Reporter.
His Revelations Upons Subject OF Vital In.

The experience of amy 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 a similarity between
them as 10 render one which is rich In valu-
| able facts of benefit to all. Americas great
est orator declared that he knew of no way OF
judging the future but by the past; and past
| personal experiences is of the same nature as
tina history which repeats itself.
A representative Of this paper while
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 ind a
more extensive neld for his talents and ex-
perience. Although several years had passed
the doctors physical condition had evident
~ 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-
yersation and uttered some truths SO scien-
tinc and valuable. as to justify their repro
duction in print.
EYES, said the doctor, Il have improved

ever, Ihave succeeded in doing. and It is one
OF the hardest things for any one. and es-
pecially q physician. to do and that isl ave
overcome my prejudices. You know there
are some people who prefer TO remain on the
wrong rather than acknowledge the mani
fest 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 q 1.-THE stake. Now
I am q phyAici IN and of the old school order,
too; but l have after years of experience and
observation come TO the conclusion thai
truth is the highest OF al things, and that II
prejudice 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 I knew you in Detroit. l would have
no ooner thought of violating the code of
ethics laid down by the profession, or OF pre-
scribing anything out OF the regular order.

"Invariably, and II is sufficient ground for
expulsion from any medical society in the
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 max the rules and insist
upon their enforcement in order 10 keep the
younger doctors from obtaining a foothold
and encroaching upon the alread, estab.
lished practice ofthe older ones. This liz
largely the reason why young physicians
have such a hard time OF 1t; they are fet-
tered by 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, doctof?''
"Oh, they are the result of my experience
and observation. i obtained my first Ideas

cured after all my care and the skill of my
