The Progress ofthe Century

GUIDED. IL leans t0nard universal. all
determining law; towards facts not fam
cles. LII leans towards immutable princi-
pres ano invulnerable truth, and away
rom saperannuated authority, organized
ignorance and dyed-in-the-w wool prejudice.
bilnd empiricism in medicine has, with
other fossilized oivalyes had its day. Yes.
There are plenty of "beiated crabs b1t
being born of darkness and fear-twin .;s-
ters OF intellectual infancy-they cannot
much longer Withstand the ciyiliZing in
nuence OF advancing science. They are
slowly but surely dying Egypt, diving"
before the search light" of investigation.
lhe advancing thinker wonders how it
was possible for that monstrosity-the
meoleai science CD extans now To have
survived to this late day. But where was
the reform to come 'FRONT.' 1t Is not ONLY
passe TO attempt reform, it is outright
dangerous. 1t requires a boldness akin to
reckiesshess. Legion Is the name who
nave tried; they have left their bleaching
PONIES as warning. An attempt at re-
forming theology brands you "heretic;"
IN politics you are charged with every in
fanny under the sun and in medicine every
duck-lntellect "quscks' at you and Won
are accused of having no diploma when
your diploma is on Tile in the courthouse
under the very eyes of the slanderers. All
SINCE books are sent free of charge to every
applicant and we pay the postage, there is
no excuse for ignorance when it costs
nothing to be informed. People who be-
rate the Hlstogenetic system of medicine
are either intellectual pariahs incapable Of
counting hve IN succession or understand
ing any PA problem, or they are mental
siuggards and cannot screw themselves up
TO the point of information by reading up
and forming a conclusion. In either case
their opinions are as valuable as that of
Puget sound oysters.
