York hotel, meta gentleman whom he had

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
medica practice. and was on the crest OF the
wave OF popularity. From Detroit he re-
moved to New York where he could mud a
more extensive field for his talents and ex-
perience. Although several years had passed
the doctors physical condition had evident

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

established and sustained by old physicians,
like myself. who make the rules and insist
upon their enforcement In order to keep the
younger doctors from obtaining a foothold
and eneroaching upon the already estab.
lished practice ofthe older ones. This is
largely the reason why young physicians
