A Rich Experience

His Revelations Upon Subject OF Vital

From the Detroit Free Press.

| 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 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 ONO way
Judging the future but by the past; and past
personal experience is OF the same natnI, as
that 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 gun
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 hnd 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. Alter some general
talk. the doctor fell into an easy train OF con-
versation and uttered some truths so scien-
tine and valuable. as to Justify their repro
duction in print
-Yes," said the doctor, Il have improved

ever. Ihave succeeded In doing. and IL is one
of the hardest things for any one, and es-
pecially.a physician, 10 do and that is have
overcome my prejudices. You know there
are some people who prefer to remain on the
wrong rather han acknowledge the mani
fest right Such prejudice leads 10 bigotry OF
the worst order. and of precisely the same
nature MS characterized the sixteenth century
when people were burned at the stake. Now

code ofethics. bur l have grown far beyond

so-called patent medicines, which would

icai fraternity. but 1 am supremacy indin-
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
ey er, no matter II 1t is made from an
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 10 keep the
younger doctors from obtaining n 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 ulu you come 10 get SUCH hcretcal

"Oh, they are the result OF my experience
and observation. / 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 OH with a compli-

consequently imperfect kidneys and liver,

not sit down or get up without the most in

while. some one advised me TO go out OF
the regular channels and try n, remedy that
was becoming quite famous for the remarka-

was altogether TOO strong for that. However,
