A DOCTORS CONFESSION.
he Doesn't Take Much Medicine and Ad-
Yises the Reporter Not To.

''Humbugs OF course it is. The so
called science of medicine is a humbug and
has been from the time of Hippocrates to
the present. Why, the biggest crank in
the Indian tribes is the medicine man"
"Verv frank was the admission, espe-
cially so when it came from one of the big
gest Young physicians OF the city, one
whose practice is among the thousands,
though he has been graduated but few
yesrS.D SAYS the Buffalo Courier Every
COW was his office. too, with its cheerful
CRATE fire, its Queene 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 stuffs that would
make healthy man an invalid. Why in
the world science should go TO poisons for
its remedies cannot tell, nor can find
any one who car"
"How does doctor know the effect of
his medicineY' he asked. "He calls, pre-
scribes, and goes away. The only way to
Judge would be to stand over the bed and
watch the patient. This cannot be done.
So, really, l don't know how he is to
tell what good or hurt he does.
Sometime ago, you remember, the Boston
Globe sent out reporter with a stated set
of symptoms. He went TO eleven promi-
nent physicians ana brought Dack eleven
different prescriptions. This just shows
how much science there is in medic ine."
There are local diseases of various char
acters for which nature provides positive
remedies. They may not be included in

cause of their simplicity, but the evidence

THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE FIGURES.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The Farmers
Alliance people at the national hea1quar-
tiers of the organization, i'm this city. are
figuring out a great victory for the Farm
ers in the results of yesterdays elec ions.
Mr. L. i. Polk, president of the Alliance,
is absent from the city, but Mr.. ID. II.
Rittenhouse, the secretary talked freely
with a reporter of the Post this evening on
the subject He said that as the smoke
clears away it becomes more and
more apparent that the farmers
organizations have asserted themselves
1t was the first opportunity given organ
iEed effort to show that boss rule has come
TO an end. The Farmers organizations
desired to rebuke the party that defeated
free coinage of silver and framed law
that imposes greater burdens on the poor
men than on the rich. Mr.. Rittenhouse in
reply to a request for some specific state
ments of what the Alliance accomplished
in the election, said he could not give all
the evidence, but the returns,
his statement In the eastern
states where the farmers League
is strong and the knights of Labor have
aided in showing this congress that their
demand for free coinage was no idle one.
This was most noticeable in Massachusetts
and New Hampshire, where the two organ
stations are the strongest The Farmers
good foothold in New Jersey and New
York and changes are not so startling.
The Grangers, League and Alliance were
organized well in Pa, and the farmers and
laborer gave hossism a rebuke of large pro-
portions in Ohio, he said, there is no state
organization of the Alliance Indiana and
Illinois has been organized but three
months. The Mutual Benefit association
did much good work. West Virginia
has just been organized The Alliance was
not so powerful as in Virginia
in the southern states the fights were male
Ht the primaries Mr.. Rittenhouse called
particular attention TO the effect in Mis-
souri, Kansas, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Colo
RADIO and other states. He said that in
proportion to the organization it had been
a cyclone The reporter asked Mr.. Ritten-
house if he meant to say that the Farmers
Alliance is an auxiliary of the Demo
cratic party. He replied not by any
means The Democratic party fought the
Alliance in South Carolina and at other
points. The farmers desired to rebuke the
party in power for their recent disregard
of the peoples demand. This congress was
petitioned for free coinage from almost
every Alliance i'm the United States. The
petitions were ignored. This ground swell
does not prove that the Alliance and
kindred organizations will support the
Democrats in 1892. il the Democrats
failure TO greater the volume OF currency
they will receive the same kind of punish
ment in 1892.

FIRE AT DENVER.

DENVER, Colo, Nov. 5.--Fire broke out
in the rear of Todd's lumber yard, on
Ninth and Laramie streets at II O'Clock
tonight, and Notwithstanding the fire de-
partment, which was promptly on hand, in
response to two alarms, the flames had
spread nearly all over the yard before the
water could be turned on. The flames
quickly passed to the st. Elmo hotel
Meyers liquor company, O'Lear's drug
store, while number of small residences
just across the alley, were given up to the
flames. The fire is under control unless a
strong wind comes up. One unknown
man was burned to death in the hotel and
his charred remains now lie at the
coroner's. 1t is reported that another man
and two children were caught in the same
building and destroyed. The truth of this
runner will not be known before tomorrow,
when the inmates of the hotel will be ac-
counted for. The cause of the fire is
unknown. The loss cannot be accurately
estimated tonight, but will probably be
over 100000
