A DOCTORS CONFESSION.
He Doesn't Take Much Medicine and
Advises the Reporter Not To.

"Humbugl OF course it is. The
so-called science of medicine is a
humbug and has been from the time
of Hipl ocrates to the present. Why,
the big gest crank in the Indian tribes
! is the medicine 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
thousands, though he has been grad
uated but a few years, says the Buff
falo Courier. Every cozy was his
Office too with its cheerful CRATE fire,
its Queen Anne furniture, and its
many lounges and easy-chairs. He
stirred the fire lazilly, lighted fresh
cigar and went on"
"Take the prescriptions laid down
in the books and what do you findl
Poisons mainly and nauseating stuffs
that mould make healthy man an
invalid. Why in the world science
should go to poisons for its remedies
| cannot tell, nor can | find anyone
who can"
"How does doctor know the effect
of his medicinei" he asked. HE
calls, prescribes, 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 |
don't know how he is to tell what
good or hurt he does. Sometime ago,
you remember, the Boston Globe sent
out a reporter with stated set of
symptoms. He went to eleven prom
inent 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 remidies. They may not be
included in the regular physicians
list, perhaps because of their simple
ity, but the evidence of their curative
power is beyond dispute. Kidney
disease is cured by Warmers Safe
Cure, strictly herbal remedy.

write as does ii. j. Gardiner, of Pom

CON FESSED THE CRIME.
Otto HeilwagOn's Death-Bed Dec
laratiOn,
He IL Said TO Have Acknowledged the
Con mission or the Deed for Which
His Father Paid the Penalty.

The Quincy Herald of Jan. contains
the following:
Three or four years ago a man of the
name of Heilwagon. brother of the He'll
wagon who before drowning himself told
Henri Grimmer that be had murdered
Edward Hogan, was hanged in Rock
Island county for the murder of his
daugf ter in law. The husband of the
murdered woman died recently, and yes
terday the news that he made a confes
sion upon his death bed reached this
city. where the Heilwagons are so well
known. 1t is reported that he confessed
TO having been the murderer of his wife.
and that his father was innocent of the
crime
City Attorney Jos. L. Haas, who with
the late Hon. Patrick O'Mara, it will be
remembered, constituted the counsel for
the defense. was visited by an ARGUS
representative this morning. and he
stated that he had also learned from pri-
vate communication that young He'll
wagon had recently died near Quincy,
havirg previously made confession of
the crime. Mr.. Haas is in correspond
ence on the subject and proposes to in
vestigate the matter thoroughly and
learn il there is any foundation for the
report. As the same story has hereto>
fore gained currency there may be
no truth in it. though Mr.. Haas
is inclined to believe there is, and there
are hers in the city who have always
sustained the idea that Heilwagon who
was executed in this city in March, 1882,
was he victim OF an ignomiIious plot.
The circumstances attending the crime
for which the old man paid the extreme
penalty of the law, are fixed in the minds
of the majority of our citizens. In the
fall of 81 Dora Heilwagon was found
murdered IN field near the home of the
Heilwagons on Hampton bluffs. Suspl
cion pointed to her husband, Otto Heil>
wagon, with whom she had not lived
happily and also to the latter's father.
The old mans family. however, swore so
unitedly and so strongly against him that
upon their testimony chiefly he was con.
victed at the January term, 1882, and
sentenced to be hung by Judge Smith
and executed by Sheriff Ankrum the fol-
lowing March.
The family had, previous to taking up
their residence in the vicinity of Hamp.
ton, lived near Quincy, and after He'll
wagons execution most of them moved
back there.
