Mis- Revelations Upon Subject Of Vital In

and learning extending over 9 long period OF
time must necessarily be valuable, and
while NO two experiences In this world are
alike, there Is such 9 similarity between
them as TO render one which Is rich in valu-
able facts OF benent 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.

lounging in the lobby of q prominent New
York hotel, met q gentleman whom he had
known years before in the city OF Detroit,

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 neld for his talents and ex-
perience. Although several years had passed

looking much better than when the man Of
news had last seen him. Alter some general
talk. the doctor fell into an easy train OF con-
~vensation and uttered some truths SC scien-
tinc and valuable. as TO justify their repro
duction in print.
