"Humbug? OF course it is. The So
called science of medicine is humbug
and has been from the time of Hippo
crates to the present. Why the biggest
crank in the Indian tribes is the mcdi-
cine man."
Every frank was the admission, es-
pecially SO when it came from one of
the biggest young physicians of the city,
one whose practice is among the thou
sands, though he has been graduated
but few years. says the Buffalo
Courier. Every coy was his office,
too, with its cheerful CRATE fire, its
Queen Anne furniture, and its many
lounges and easy-chairs. He stirred
the fire lazily, lighted fresh cigar and
went on"
"Take the prescriptions laid down in
the books and what do you find?
Poisons mainly, and nauseating stuifs
that would make healthy man an in
valid. Whyin the world science should
go to poisons for its remedies / cannot
tell, nor can find any one who can"
GLOW does doctor know the effect
of his medicine 2" he asked. "IIe calls,
prescribes, and goes away. The only
way to Judge would be TO stand over the
bed and watch the patient. This can
not be done. So, really, | don't know
how he is to tell what good or hurt he
does. Some time ago, you remember,
the Boston Globe sent out a reporter with
a stated set Of symptoms. He went to
eleven prominent physicians and brought
back eleven different prescriptions. This
just shows how much science there is in
medicine"
There are local diseases of various
characters, for which nature provides
positive remedies. They may not be in
cluded in the regular physicians list,
perhaps, because of their simplicity, but
the evidence Of their curative power is
beyond dispute. Kidney disease is
cured by Warmers Safe Cure, strictly
herbal remedy. Thousands of persons,
every year, write as does II. j. Gardiner,
of Pontiac, r. L., August It'll, 1890:

LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, Nov. 14.-The
local Bandana Club prepared last night
to celebrate the Thurman birthday at
the National Hotel in manner con
trary to Kansas Prohibition laws The

time as if they might be lynched, for
"Shoot theml'' and Hang them!' We're

more wine, swore in twenty deputy
sheriffs, admitted nobody but invited
guests, and celebrated in spite of the
police, who had been ordered in vain
to raid them.

In a recent lecture, Henry NJ. Stanley,
the explorer said; "We console our
selves, however, that through this mis-
sion we have been supplied with a store
of remarkable "reminiscences, that we
have explored the heart of great
primeval forest, that we have had
unique experiences with its pygmies and
cannibals, that we have discovered the
'long-lost snowy Mountains of the Moon,
and sources Of the Albertine, Nile, and
also Lake Albert Edward, besides an
important extension of the Victoria
Nyanza; and that finally four European
Governments, the British, French, Ger
man and Portuguese, have been in duced
to agree as to what their several spheres
of influence shall be in the future in the
Dark Continent, with a view, let us
hope, to exercise their beneficial powers
for its redemption, out of the state of
darkness and woe in which it has SO

HYPERION THxATER.

That grand historical play, "Joan of
Arc" was presented at the Hyperion last
evening with Miss Margaret Mather in the
title role. Miss Mather is supported by
that sterling actor, Mr.. Otis Skinner, and
an unusually strong company. The Joan
of Arc that is accepted in the history of
France was born in the year 1411, in
Domremy, situated partly in Champagne
and Lorraine, France. Joan, at the age of
eleven, attended her fathers fiocks in the
forest of Domremy, and 1t was there she
professed to have heard the voices of her
patron saints calling on her to deliver
France from its enemies. In 1422 Henry
VI of England, then an infant, was pro-
claimed king of France. Charles VII OF
France, then on the throne, was leading q
dissolute life, neglecting his country and
people, seldom leaving his court at Chinon.
In 1929, when Joan was eighteen years OF
age, she left her quiet rustic home near the
beautiful forests of Domremy and visited
the court to see the king and tell him OF
her divine mission-the deliverance of hei
country. After considerable difficulty
Joan received her commission from the
king and set out for Orleans at the head OF
her own army. Orleans, her destination
was then invested by the English. under
the Earl of Salisbury, and was the key tc
the south of France.
On April 30, 1929, Joan captured and
entered Orleans, and in two months the
English were driven beyond the Loire.
On July 16, several months after thii
great victory, Joan of Arc stood in the ca
| thedral in Rheims next to the king, witt
| the sacred banner, while he was crowned
| Charles VII of France.
Joan was surrounded and taken prisonel
on May "a, 1890, while assisting in the de
Tense of Compiegne against the duke o
The ungrateful King Charles made n,
| effort to effect her ransom, and on Marcel
| 90, 1881, she was brought before the in
| QUESTION, accused of being q sorceress ant
Joan was burned at the stake in the pres
ence of the entire populaee in the street
of Rouen. g ~ ~ So
i All of the above epochs in her career ar
faithfully reproduced in the version use,
by Miss Mather, which is the same as ths
1 used by Madame Sarah Bernhardt at tn
Porte st. Martin, Paris. The presentation
last evening was a notable one in every N
spect. Every attention has been given {
even the minutest detail, and the produs
tan was in consequences almost absolutel
faultless. The scenery and costumes ar
historically correct and appropriate
OF Miss Mather's impersonatien naugf
but praise can be written. She is tho
oughly conscientious and painstaking ar
iste and in ssJoan of Arcn has made Il
success of her life. She seemed last evel
ing to have entirely succeeded in mergir
ali her own individuality into that of Il
character she portrayed. Otis SKIM
ably supported her in her efforts, and Il
entire company was satisfactory. "Jos
of Arc" will be repeated this evening al
