His Revelations Upon a Subject Of Vital
terest 10 All.



The experience of any one OF education
and learning extending over q 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 Of no way of
Judging the future but by the past; and past
personal experience Is Of the same nature as
that history which repeats itself.
A representative of this paper while
lounging In the lobby of n PROMINENT New
YORK hotel, met a gentleman whom he had
known years before in the city or Detroit.
but whom he had not seen before for a num-
Der OF years. When the knight OF the outll
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-
tine and valuable as to Justify their repro
duction in print.

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
have such a hard time of IT.; they are fet-
tered by the code. and have only their per.
sonal influence TO depend upon in securing
practice"
How did you come to get such heretlcal
