Some time since the Salt Lake Medical
society had presented to 1t an exaggerated
case of varicose veins. A HERALD reporter
happened to be present and reported the
case just as it occurred to him as a layman
and as 1T was commented upon by the fac
ulty. 1t is well-know fact that the prac-
| tice of medicine is not an exact, but an eX-
| perlmental science, in which many good
men go under as victims of the expert.
ments. Something too much of truth
touched rather harshly the cuticles of the
M. DPS in the report of the case alluded to,
and, instead of treating it in a broad and
sensible way, the executive, Dr. Foster, a
man afraid to tell his own name for public
use, like the amphibious crocodile, let down
the valve over his snake-like eye to the
truth.
Aught or all of the report regarding the
case was inspired by good feeling and that
it gave any otfense was source of wonder
to every man with the slightest sense of
humor who read the article.
Last night the Walker house furnished
s'feed" to the Salt Lake doctors. The
"Walker' never furnished better bill of
fare to better cause. 1t takes long time
10 acquire practice, and many is the doc
tor who goes hungry while waiting for
patients to come knocking at his door
A HERALD reporter, in professional capac-
ity, went to the Walker to report the ban
quet where doctors of high and low degree
were being fed at the society's expense.
The individual whom the society martyr
lied itself by making its president, Mr..
Foster, oblivious to even self respect, an
unknown factor to him, requested the re-
porter to leave the hall, stating that he had
: authority 10 demand it.
Who Mr.. FSster was, or what his official
position was, the HERALD man was totally
ignorant of, and therefore asked the indi-
: vidual posing as disciple OF 4Esculaplus
1 his name.
A natural cowardice, combined with a
Q sense of guilt, caused the man Foster to
, REFUSE TO GIVE HIS NAME,
