letter. 1t was one of the best days In
the history of the church, the services
throughout being most helpfully i'm

Every new treatment, every fresh
drug, every medicine that is discovered
is one more drop from the great ocean
of knowledge segregated that we may
study it for the benefit of mankind. In
it there are good and evil, but if we ap-
proach it with reverent earnestness and
study that we may know we can assure
ourselves that we are helping on the
great science to which we have devoted
our lives. This is reward enough, and
this reward shall surely come TO the
physician who will work. The amelio-
ration of the physical ills of man is the
end and aim of our most noble profes
sion, and it is pleasant to remember that
even the enthusiasts aid in the great
work by their devotion to their fads.-

The Druggists Bill,
FINANCIAL PANIC.
The Breaking of Three Banks in Tennes-
see Precipitates 1t.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 27.-This
city is in a state of panic. The streets
are filled with hundreds of excited citi-
zens. In addition to the failure of the
First Commerce National Bank Saturday
two more banks closed their doors this
morning. They are the Mechanics Say
ings Bank, with a capital of $500, 00o
and the Bank of Commerce, with capt.
tai of $250,000.
The greatest uneasiness prevails in
financial circles. 1t is expected that two
other banks will be compelled to shut
down. Over three millions are involved
in the failure of the three banks men
toned above. At least dozen small
banks in adjacent towns are in Temporal
ry financial straits.
Another and ''SaIted" Account,
Today there was some excitement on
the streets where the banks are located,
chiefly caused by loungers who predict
ed the failure of the principal banks of
the city. The business por ion of the
city was not agitated. A small run was
made on the First National, but the de-
positors got money SO rapidly that they
became convinced their fright was an
cIIOI, duo III uodlly CfCiy 1uotduGC I0-
deposited. Two smaller banks, both do
ing business under state charters had
savings departments connected with
them. Upon these the principal runs
were made. The Bank of Commerce,
with deposits amounting to about $40, 900
suspended payments and made a general
assignment. The directors of the Me-
chanics' Bank decided to take advantage
of the law requiring 60 days notice from
depositors and suspended payments.
This bank will probably resume in few
days as soon as the restless feeling dis
appears. Its assets are in excess of liza
bilities. All other banks transacted bus
mess as usual, and reported deposits in
excess of Withdrawals. Liabilities Of
the Bank of Commerce are $97, 200, and
the capital stock $27, 400. All the lead
ing financial and business men of the
city think the furry is over. As result
of the suspension of the Mechanics
Bank, Lewis E. Baxter, the president,
has assigned. No other failures are re-.
ported. !.
The statement of the Commercial
Bank, which failed Saturday, shows as
sets of $2,2 900 and liabilities of ST.
