able facts OF benefit to all. Americas great

personal experience is OF the same natui, as
that history which repeats itself.
A representative of this paper bile
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 thek 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 field 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-
versation and uttered some truths so scien-
tnc and valuable, as to justify their repro
duction in print.

doctor?'
Invariably. and II is sufficient ground for
expulsion from any medical society In the
land to prescribe any patent medicine what
ever. no matter IL 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 and insist
upon their enforcement In order TO keepthe
younger doctors from obtaining a foothold
and en~croaching upon the alread, estub,
lished practice ofthe older ones. This is
largely the reason why young physicians
have such a hard time of 1t; they are fet-
teredby the code. and have only their per-
sonal influence TO depend upon in securing
practice"
"How did you come to get such herctlcal
ideas as these, doctoI?i
"Oh. they arc the result OF my experience
and observation. 1 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. 1 was SO badly of with a compli-
cation of troubles, including dyspepsia, and
consequently imperfect kidneys ana liver.
