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 q 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 OF no way
judging the future but by the past; and past
personal experiences is of thes same NATURE a.
tina history which repeats itself.
A representative OF this papei lille

York hotel. met q 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 10 New York where he could ind n
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

Invariably. and 1t is sufficient ground for
expulsion from any medical society in the
land to prescribe any patent medicine what
eve r, no matter II 1t is made : from an
exact formula, such as physicians
are using every day. You SEQ the code Is

and encroaching upon the already estab

largely the reason why young physicians
have such a hard time of 1t; they are fet-
tered by the code. and nave only their per.

How did you come to get such hereticaI
