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-

had last seen this gentleman. he was giving
his entire time and attention 10 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

looking much better than when the man of
news had last seen him. Amer some general
talk. the doctor fell into an easy train OF con-

largely the reason why young physicians
