THE CANCER AND rumoR

The typical statesman saTes the
nation from war or fiusncial disaster,
and receives the plaudits Of the PEG
pie. The true preacher devotes his
energies to making men noblor,
purer and more just, and is rewarded
by tho love and veneration Of all who
know him. The physician is, how
ever, hampered in his field, which
is grand In its possibilities for doing
good. The images of his profession
are much the same to-day as they
we're a hundred years ago. To invent,
to discover, was then, aud is to day, a
cause for less fortunate or less indus
trlousepractitioners to hurl eplthe's
and to strive to mako it appear that
no one had progressed auy further
than themselves. But In spite of all
this, a spirit Of reform Is abroad,
weak as yet, but growing stronger
every year. Specialists are now
found in every school of medicine, o
thing which of late was branded as
s%uackery. Physicians OF the broadcast
culture are now acknowledging that
all virtue is not confined TO any set
school or method Of practice.
In our city Of @ uncil Bluffs we

specialist, In his line, that the wcst

some of them are here from
