sickened BY the saturnalia OF the French
revolution, and moved to desperation as
Robespierre and Marat were leading tne
flower II FRANCE to the guillotine' she de-
termined that she would put All end 70
| Marat's bloody reign.
Marat had demanded two hinufs--- snou-

Horrible thought
No wonder it fired the blood OF this p'.ii-

holy passion of power
Methods are quite as murdcrous and in
exorable as men, and they number their
victims by the millions.
The page OF history is full OF murders by
authority and by mistaken ideas! In the
practice of medicine alone how many hun

bigotfy and by bungimgi
But the age Is betterine. Men and meth
DDS are improving. A few years ago it was
worth ones Professional life I'd advise Ut

To-day there are not two physicians in any
