Franklin III. North Describes the NJ ethod

NEW YORK Nov. 13.-The medical pro-
fession of this city, led by the medlca |
journals, is up in arms just now against
erecently established institution designed
to protect people of small means against
medical eXtOrtIon and quackery. One Of
these journals, the Medical Record, dubs
it "The Dollar Medical Shop" and de-
mands to know how long il Is proposed to
thus encourage the public TO evade its
just dues to physicians" The idea that
the human family owes certain dues to
physicians seemed to me altogether
unique and remarkable, and while on my
way to the institution | could not help
guessing as to the means that | should
ind employed there to cheat the doctors
out OF their dues" Perhaps. thought / =,

and maligners TO take exercise and fresh

with dew. 1t was that smoky hour in the
morning when the city is getting it's early
breakfast. Men were hurrying to their

the halloo of the mIlkmen in the side

all the damp roadways. The SUI was not
vet up over Long Island, but his rays
touched the top of Grace Church spire and
made tgoden.
By the side of the young man sat a
young woman. She nestled very close to
him. not so much because she was chilly
with the dew as because she wanted to
cheer and comfort him. She had a thin
shawl wrapped round her shoulders, and
q little black chip hat with a marigold in

white forehead and swell IN a luxuriant
roll Oh her neck. About 20, perhaps. But
her beautiful lace was marked with the
