A MEDICAL VIEW.
OF the Visit OF Eminent Practitioners to

[Dr. Shoemaker in Philadelphia INQUIRER
ST. PAUL, Minnesota, June 5, 1882
After most pleasant journey our
party of Philadelphians, on our travel to
the Northwest, concluded to stop in
Chicago to examine the wonderful cable
street railroad, which, by the way, works
admirably, and carries passengers with
more ease, comfort and economy, for five
cents, than our Philadelphia lines
for six. When will our progress
i've railroad companies learn to
make their money easier, and at the same
time save the great loss of horses and be
an economy to the people. After spend
ing few hours in this modern and pro-
gressive city, receiving many handsome
courtesies from the citizens, we pushed
on to st. Paul, Mimi, reaching this
metropolis of the Northwest about noon,
on Saturday, June 3. We were at once
taken to the leading hotel of the city,
and were met in most cordial manner
by the committee of arrangements of the
American Medical association. The as

row morning, at 10 o'clock, In the Opera
house; our intervening time will be util-
lied in organizing and preparing reports
of committees.
After dinner and an attendance upon
several meetings we visited the various
hotels and exchanged greetings with
eminent representative physicians and
surgeons, who are here from all parts of
America. The topics of conversation
among all the prominent medical men
were, first, condemning the code of ethics
recently adopted by the New York State
Medical society, which permits all regular
physicians to consult with practitioners
representing every creed and system of

the afternoon to visit the attractive and
well-known suburban resorts of st. Paul
A pleasant drive of few moments

and commanding fine view of the
river and on the bluffs on its opposite
bank, doomed up Fort Smelling, quaint
looking structure of light colored stone,
surrounded with the government bar

grim cannon and the flash of the barrel

fortress in the early days of the Indian
wars. Reflections on the;anclent fort and
the beautiful scenery of the winding
river at our feet were suddenly brought
to close by the mellow ripple of that
precious gift of nature, the falls of Min
