Quackery in the Profession.
There can not possibly he a sssvsten

There can not possibly be a SYSTEM
or ''cure" in medicine. There are no
rule-of-thumb methods and no muster
ies in true science. If we do not know
what a remedy is, and how it acts, we
have no right, as honest men, to employ
it. The time has passed for the work
ing of cures by charms and the recourse
to nostrums. We pander to the credul-
ity of the unskilled community when we
show ourselves credulous. We patron
ize and encourage quackery when we
extend professional recognition to a
quack. Every man is quack-wheth-
er qualified or unqualified-who en-
ploys remedy without knowing why,
or who adopts a SYSTEM in medicine.
The profession must speak out clearly
and strongly on this point and without
delay. From the highest places in soci-
ETY. to the lowest ranks of the people,
there is just now grievous readiness to
''believe in" quacks and quackery. We
have ourselves to thank for this most
adverse ''feeling" and tsinfuence." 1t
is the stirring of the viper we have
brought in from the cold, where physi-
clans and surgeons of more robust in
telligence than those of to-day left it
the viper we have warmed and fed and
brought back to life; and now it is pre-
pairing to rise and sting the hand that
caressed it. The way to encounter the
charlatanry which is making head
against science is to be at once
more candid and more conspicu-
ously h0nest in our dealings with the
public. We must lay aside the last
vestige of the robe of mystery, ,and show
by our words and works, our conduct
and policy, that medicine is not sci
ence that admits of inspiration, and that
the practice of healing is not an art
which can be acquired by the unlearned.
There is no system or cure, or charm
or nostrum, known to the profession;
our calling consists solely in the rational
study and treatment of disease on COM
nonsense principles. For those who
pretend to sort of inspiration we have
no professional friendship; and toward
the promoters of systems and 'pathies
we can have no leaning, or any feeling
other than that of suspicion, if not pity
and contempt. They can have no place
in our profes sional intercourse, and we
can have nothing to say to them or
their work This is the only sentiment
worthy of the medical profession in its
dealings with medical quacks, and the
time has come when the revival of its
old spirit is most earnestly to be desired.

Eastern people do not always appre-

lay out their work. A case in point is
taat of an Eastern merchant who wrote
to Los Angeles county bee man Tor a
sample of his extracted honey. His
request was complied with. and the
merchant was so well pleased with the
appearance and good quality Of the
honey that he sent an order for all the
bee man had like that. The gentle
man, thinking the merchant might not
be reckoning en- the amouat he had in
stock, wrote him that he had sixteen
tons on hand, but that he might as well
make it twenty tons, which would be
just two car loads, and that he would
ship it Immediately. He was not very
much surprised a few days after to re-
ceiye telegram telling him Keep
your honey | only want a case or

ROBBED OF ss1a

We gather the following particulars
of robbery committed at Junction
City Tuesday evening Ivy one Frank
Anderson. Anderson had been work
ing two days for Mr.. Swearinger, who
keeps warehouse there. On the even
ing named, at about 8 o'clock, Mr. ).
came into the house with $500 in q
shot sack. which he laid on the mantle
for few minutes and stepped cut Of
the room to wash, and on his return
the $500 was missing, AS was the man
Anderson, who had been working near
the house. As soon as the loss was
discovered three men started in pursuit
OF Andersen, who they succeeded In
tracking to this city, arriSlng here about
noon Wednesday. Here they found
their man hal stopped at Mr.. B. G.
Whites residence about four o'clock in
the morning, from whom he inquired
the way to the Bay, aud afterwards
took breakfast at the Vincent house,
where he inquired what time the train
left. On learning these facts, two men
started for the Bay to prevent escape
escape in that direction, and Mr.
Mr.. Swearinger sent the following dis
patch to Chief Lappeus, at Portland:
Look out for Frank Anderson, for
eigner, twenty-five years old, medium
height, sandy complexion, stole eigh
hundred dollars. Flag and K. A. A

Eaa or ,As Hsaarey..nrown Murder Case

Yesterday morning, the time for fling
a melton for new trial in behalf Of
Carrie Bradley, expired, and the at
torneys announced that they would
make no such motion, the prisoner WAS
arraigned for judgment, and when ask
cd by the court II she bad anything TO
say why sente ncs should not be- pro-
neunesd against her, replied that she
had not.
Judge Watson, one Of her counsel,
appealed TO the court for mercy, and
asked that severe sentence be not pasI-
cd upon his client. lIls plea was based
on the fact that II was not prevea that
murder was the purpose that though
aho was indicted tor murder in the frat
degree, the jary found her guilty Of
rnanslaughter only. lie said that the
evidence went TO show that other parties
were guiltior than she, and chat her
business or avocation ough. not 10
have an influence on tho Judgment.
Judge Watson spoke some time and
and made strong appeal, and proba.
bly, saved his client from the extreme
penalty. Bat three years OFT will not
make much difference in the length Of
time the prisoner ~ill spend in prison.
District Attorney Csples opposed
the appeal for mercy in few words,
aud thought that Carrie Bradley onght
10 be well satisfied with the result of
her trial.
Judge Stott, before passing sentence,
said that tho killing Of Brown was the
result Of q deliberate purpose 10 ihwsrt
the course Of justice /; that while sba
may not have intended 70 kill be, vic
tim. still she meant 20 defeat the law.
The Judge said that il is crime not
much less than murder 10 tanper with
the course Of justice, siih witness,
Jurors or others, so ~ 70 defeat the pur
poses OF the law. lie then required

MODRRN ATHENS.

Morally Athens is vary virtuous
city politically it is about the worst
in Europe, The King uses the nation
as piece Of property to derive as much
income as possible, and makes very lit
tie return to it. AS a fgurehead he
is pronounced success, bat the Greeks
are beginning to tire Of a ruler who
possesses the4privileges of rule, enjoys
its emoluments, and acknowledges few
or none of its responsibilities. The
King is quite a society man. In the
annual New Years ball---the great
event of the year--he leads The dancing
and plays the agreeable generally.
Court balls in royal capital without q
nobility are anolamous, but in Athens
are Of frequent occurrence. In politics
the Kings power is practically absolute
and he does not hesitate to employ it fol
his own advantage. The personnel oi
the civil service is liable to be changed
with every change Of Ministry, and ths
Ministry itself is in some years chang.
ed every three months. That such q
system must be full of abuses goes with
out saying.
It is said that goats are not affected
] by nicotine.
