view of perfecting the practice which
has for its object the cure and preserva-
tion of mind and body. 1t is agreed
among intelligent men that thesscience
of medicine and surgery has made most
rapid strides during recent years to-
wards an elevate standard.
1t is conceded in the East as well as
elsewhere in the United States that
Minnesota has taken an advanced posi-
ton in the matter Of wedding out
quacks; so that to-day the regulations
adopted by the Legislature of this state
are quoted as standards by states seek
ing to shut out irresponsible and in
competent experimentors on the life
and limb of their fellow man, under the
cloak of being physicians. 1t was
known to the medical profession that
number of quacks were putting reput-
able physicians to the blush and bring
ing the profession into disrepute by
peddling nOstrums, and claiming to
cure all manner of ills. without having
any other object in view than to make
money by their wits.
A law was passed in 1883 by the Min
nesota legislature that prohibited any
one from practicing medicine without
diploma from medical college.
nn1ess he had already been practieing
medicine FIVE years in the state, or
should stand an examination to be pre-
scribed by state board. The object of
that law was to prevent the peddling of
medicines and to reach those who adj
verified as specialists without having
studied the science. 1t was apparent
that this law would not prevent ire
sponsible colleges from granting
diplomas to men who were not quail
fed to enter upon the duties of the pro-
feSsion.
In 1887 that law was amended so that
no one after July of that year should
belicensed to practice medicine in the
state unless he had attended three
courses of lectures of six months each
in reputable medical college, and in
addition thereto should pass written
examination of twenty hours upon a
series of questions to be pro-
pounded by the state medical board.
The effect of this law has been mani
fold. 1t has reduced the number of
physicians in the state from 1,500 to
1850. 1t has induced over fifty colleges
in the United States to elevate their
standard so as to give course of lect-
ures sufficient in time and character to
fully educate their students. The states
of Montana, Washington, and North
Dakota have since passed similar laws,
and other states have taken steps to

midwives have in many instances car
ried the germs of disease from family to
family-particularly in cases of Puer-
peral fever. 1t is said that many of
them are uncleanly about their hands,
and person and do not take porper care
in cleaning or dlsenfecting their per-
sons or instruments, more especially
their hands. about the creases and finger
nails and they are apt to inoculate
whole neighborhood from SINGLE case.
During the past week one OF the
quarterly examinations of the board
was held in the capitol. There were
twenty-siX candidates for admission
present, two of whom were ladies. 1t
is surprising even TO a layman. to read
over the examination papers OF appll-
cants and discover the mistakes in spell
ing. to say nothing of the lack of gen.
eral and professional knowledge. Some
applicants have defined the operation
of the functions in the human system,
and located parts of the anatomy in
places that would afford great amnse-
ment to a novice in the elementary
branches of physiology and anatomy.
They have advised the giving of sue
cession of doses of medicine to young
children that would kill instanter with
one administering. The giving of chic
reform to check spasms in cases of
chloral poisoning has been advocated
by an applicant who probably thinks
that like poison will cure. He advises
the use of stomach pump or emetics.
Another says the symptoms of scarlet
fever are "malice ON the part of the
child" and adds ''the sequelae may be
death or recovery" One says "the
astrological elements found in the hui
man body are blood, urine. saliva, gall,
sinovia, and other secretions of glands
ard membranes" Another says they
are carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen.
and various 'gasses.'" One defines Il
elements of the body as being earth,
water, wind, fire." While such blund-
ers would warrant layman in refusing
to place confidence in the candidate
who wishes to practice on the health
and limbs of his fellow man, it requires
a skilled physician to detect the adroit
Quack.
The citizens of the state may well con-
graduate the painstaking physicians on
the board, and the profession in general,
for the efforts they are taking to throw

Scientific. Progressive DentlStS
Who Make Them.
1t has come to be a generally accepted
theory that bad teeth-that is, natural
ones-are worse than none at all. A
few years ago the average ''tooth-car-
penter'' required two or three weeks
time and big wad of bank notes to
make set of teeth. Defective ones, as
a matter of course, were kept on active
duty then longer than they are now,
when a good set may be made and fitted
perfectly in few days time, and at
price that causes the wearer to wonder
why Nature didn't lay in large stock,
in preference to supplying mankind in
the Old-fashioned way.
But this article is not intended as a
Sunday discourse on mOlarS in general.
1t was prepared for the purpose of tell
ing the public that DR.. Charles E. Ma
graw is turning out great many beau
tiful sets Of teeth. and is charging his
patrons but six dollars (S6) a set. And
they are perfect, too! There is no
tail is as carefully attended to
in one of these sets of six
dollarteeth as in the making of $50
set. A number Of them have been
closely inspected by other dentists, and
no flaw discovered. 1t may well puzzle
the reader how such work can be done
at such rldiculously low price. But if
said reader is not the happy possessor
of sound, white, even teeth, be or she
need not worry about the DOCTORS fam
lily starving to death; but may take adj
vantage of his offer with clear con-
science, and exchange the unsightly,
useless snags for beautiful new ones.
DR.. Magraw has pleasant offices in the
Reardon block, No. rs East Seventh
street, corner of Minnesota. His facil-
tiles are the most complete, and his
patrons are not subjected to vexatious
delays. There is no excuse now for any
one attempting to masticate food with
imperfect natural teeth, to say nothing
of appearances.

follow the Minnesota law. 1t has had
the effect of increasing the patronage Of
medical colleges. 1t gives to people
living in villages and country places as
good physician as may be found in
the large cities. Acting under this law
the board has refused to examine the
graduates of over forty medical colleges,
because their standard was too low. 1t
has done away with granting diplomas
on the recommendation of single ply
stefan.
This law has been referred to by med
ical periodicals as the highest type of
law in the United States and recon-
mended its adoption. verbatim, by
other states. The board has revoked
the license of two physicians, on learn
ing that they had procured fraudulent
diplomas. Out of 179 applicants, in the
licensed or only 61.5 per cent, whilst
has been licensed is much larger.
The board meets four times year
for the purpose of conducting eXamina-
tions with view Of licensing ply
sicians. Proper certificates, as to pre-
vious graduation in accordance with
the requirements of the law. are pre-
scented by the applicant, who registers
his name in book kept for the pur-
pose. He is then given num-
Der, which is used during his ex-
animation before the secretary
His papers are afterwards examined by
the several members of the board, who
grade the papers, not knowing the
name of the applicant, whose number
is placed thereon. At meeting of the
board. held after the papers are marked
according to the grade established,
vote is taken on each set of papers by
their respective numbers, and the ques-
ton of license is thus determined.
1t is a noteworthy fact that every
incense granted during the past three
years has been by the unanimous vote
of the board, and like vote has been
recorded against each one rejected.

COAL RATES TO BE CUT.

The Milwaukee Seeks to Head Off

CHICAGO, July 5,-The Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul road has given no
tlce, that. in order to meet competition
for Lake Superior ports it will reduce
the rate on deck coal % cents per ton,
from Milwaukee to the Missouri river.
1t is claimed that the Chicago & North
western, or its proprietary lines have
been reaping a harvest because the
through rate on coal from the East is
less by way of Duluth than by way of
Milwaukee or Chicago, enabling it to
deliver coal to the wheat producing
points in Nebraska and Dakota more
cheaply than it can be done by way of
Lake Michigan ports. AS a.result Of
this advantage it is said that the bulk of
east-bound wheat shipments from those
points is given to the Northwestern, so
that it is doubly benefited. 1t is to
equalize these rates that the Milwaukee
& st. Paul propose reduction.
