A MEDICAL VIEW.
81 the visit OF Eminent Practition srs to
st Paul.
(Dr. Shoemaker in Philadelphia Inauirer.1
ST. PAUL, Minnesota, June 5, 1882
After q 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, land 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, Nina, reaching this
metropolis of the Northwest about noon,
on Saturday, June 8. 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
sociation will open their session to-mor-
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 lsociety, which permits all regular
physicians to consult with practitioners
representing every creed and system of
medicine. The second theme which at
tracted some discussion in the lobbies of
the hotels are the late views of the Ger
man physician, DR.. Koch, Of the germ
origin of consumption-a resurrection of
an cid theory, remarked an eminent
Eastern physician. "Absurd," said one
of the most successful Western men on
diseases of the chest, admitting Dr.
Koch's theory" added skillful
Northern practitioner of long experience,
who annually witnesses the ravages of
consumption, which carries off many
thousands, "what are his practical resultsf
Nothing! He has suggested no new treat
ment by which we can lessen the mortal
ity."
Such, in few words, are the decided
and universal opinions of the leaders of
the profession on this recent and sup
posed new discovery, which was but a
short time ago cabled ever all the world
as an enlightenment to medical men,
Practitioners who understand their pro-
fession now know how to arrest consump-
ton in its earlier stages, providing people
will follow their advice; specific,
however, in all its stages for this disease
medical men never expect to find.
Sunday morning early DR.. A. j. Stone,
the prominent practitioner of this city,
and several of the citizens drove our
party through this enterprising place,
which is situated at the head of naviga-
ton of the Mississippi river, having a
beautiful geographical position, noted for
its commercial trade, and being the cen
ter Of the railroads of the Northwest. A
drive through the large thoroughfares of
the city, up and down the fine avenues,
with their handsome residences, and q
visit to q few of the MANY excellent
churches, completed our tour of the city.
through the courtesy of some of our
good friends we accepted an invitation in
the afternoon to visit the attractive and
well-known suburban resorts of st. Paul
A pleasant drive of few moments
brought our party to large and hand
some iron bridge spanning the Mississippi
and commanding a fine view of the
river and on the bluffs on its opposite
bank, loomed up Fort Smelling, quaint
looking structure of light colored stone
surrounded with the government bar
racks and crowned with the stars and
stripes. The appearance Of the for,
on this beautiful afternoon, with the
grim cannon and the flash of the barrel
in the distance. reminded one very forci-
bly, of the many incidents of that ole
fortress in the early days of the Indiar
wars. Reflections on thesanclent fort anG

charming pictures of nature. From the

Veil' of Minnehaha. Retracing ou1
steps and descending to the foot of the
falls, we became covered with q spray
which reflected the rainbow in the dis

most romantic pictures of nature. Look.
