IN 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 his world are
alike, there is such a similarity between
them as TO render one which is rich in yalu-
able facts of benefit to all. Americas great

Judging the future but by the past; and past

known years before in the city Of Detroit,
but whom he had not seen before for a num-

his entire time and attention to an extensive
medical practice. and was on the crest of the
wave of popularity. From Detroit he re-

Invariably. and IL is sufficient ground for
expulsion from any medical society in the
land to prescribe any patent medicine what

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 keep the
