ISOPATHY is the name adopted by
the new school of practitioners in med
icine, though if the disciples of Hahne
mann had not been earlier in the field
we doubt not homeopathy had beer
chosen by these latter-day revolution
lists; since the watch-word similio
sinilibus curomturis equally applicable
though in a different sense, to the iso
pathists. These latter advance the theory
that the diseased organ in the human
being can best be restored to health by
dieting the patient with the correspond.
ing organ of healthy animal. Briefly
If the subject be laboring under hepatic
trouble, select healthy OK, slaughter
the same, and serve up its liver three
times day to your patient. The prin-
ciple is Identical with that of Brown
Sequard's school, only with this differ
ence, that the latter do not wait for the
slow process of assimilation, but inject
the fluid extract, so to speak, of the
organ direct. The theory looks extreme
ly simple, not to designate it by more
opprobrious epithet, and while very few
of Galen's regular disciples will accept
it, there are still fewer who dare de,
nounce it as nonsense. Medicine is a
science which seems to have a natural
antipathy to age; it has been pract1sed
since the world began, and yet it seems
to enjoy perennial youth. not to say
babyhood. Each succeeding decade
brings new knowledge to which the
enlightenment of today seems veriest
ignorance. We laugh today, if we do
not shudder, over the cruelty of the way
a fevered patient was (maDtreated a
few score years ago. Our grandchildren
will possibly treat with the same ridi-
Guile our present enlightenment. Five
years ago DIR. Brown-Sequarda announced
to the world that he had discovered the
fountain of youth which DeLeon had
sought years ago, and, although such
an assertion seems as Numerically op-
posed and antagonistic to all medical
5enets as is perpetual motion to the
avs of physics, the medical world did
not think of treating his views with
The scorn scientists accord to Kelley of

that his signature thereto was obtained

avoided risking his personal safety up
on Texas soil again, but sent other
generals to command his army. His

1T is astonishing with what rapidity
hypnotism is becoming marked fact
or IN our criminal jurisprudence, par
tlcularly in Europe In France it is
being used as medium for the detect.
ion OF crime, as well as for the benefit
OF those accused of crime. A celebrated
physician, specialist on insanity, pos
sesses the remarkable power of hypnot-
Using his patients; and while under this
influence they are made to perform any
act he desires. At reception recently
given in Washington d. c., gentle
man used this power on several of the
guests in attendance; many of whom
were prominent society people, and
While under this influence, purloined
pocket books, and many other yalu-
ables, and secreted them. The cues
tlon is, should an act committed by
person while under this influence be
considered criminal? While plea of
this nature has not as yet been recog-
nlzed in American courts, how MANY
instances there are where the wealthy
and influential escape punishment bv
similar pleas, such as kleptomania and
emotional insanity, for crimes that
have shocked the entire world; yet an
acquittal on such a plea has become
common. If hypnotism is to be recog
nlzed as an excuse for crime, and the
indications point that way, the aristo-
cratic bank wrecker, or wealthy muir
derer, in the hands of a skillful attorney
need never fear conviction. What
easier than to set up the plea that he
acted under hypnotic influence, aye
even contend that the witnesses were
hypnotized by the prosecution for the
purpose OF convicting an honest man.
1t is quite reasonable to suppose, that
IT man will steal, or do any other
criminal action, while under this in
fluence, he can also be made to take
the witness stand and swear falsely.
The law says "no man shall be COM
PEELED to testify against HIMSELF" and
again, "that the accused must be &C
quilted if not proven guilty beyond
all reasonable doubt Now if defend
ed upon the plea that, being under
hypnotic influence, he was not a free
moral agent, he consequently could
not be guilty of crime. On the other
hand, not being compelled to testify
against himself, and upon the hypo-
thesis that the prosecuting witnesses
were hypnotised and incompetent to
testify however direct the testimony
might be, it would create a reasonable
1oubt and the testimony would be dis
credited. We may expect to hear of
some wealthy transgressor of the law
Who will escape his merits upon this
very ingenious plea, but the only

The treatment a man or woman
accords the old is an unerring indi
cation OF character. Difference, gentle
ness, respect to the poor and dependent
argue genuine kindness of heart-the
truest courtesy which springs from
principle and not from custom. And
1T argues, also, desire to shield with
affection and aid by helpful service
those whose power to command and
execute has passed away. There are
many households in which the aged
are the center and the soul. No plans
are arranged in which their counsel is
not asked; no work is undertaken in
which the benefit of their experience IS
not desired. and they are made to feel
that, although physically disabled by
the feebleness of age, they have gained
profounder authority through the
knowledge they have acquired in MANY
years, and which must be inviolably
respected. In this ideal home the
grandparents room is the sunniest in
the whole house. 1t is furnished with
comfortable armchairs and lounges:
there are flowers and pictures to
brighten and adorn it, and it is. bv
common consent, the family congre-
eating place. Here the disobedient
child confesses it's fault and is forgiven:
the wife and the husband come for
advice and comfort in the time of trial.
it is, indeed, the sanctuary of old age,
venerable, beloved, and honored. But
there are those who are less fortunate
the old and the feeble, whose infirm-
ity is embittered by neglect and disre-
spect. They have outlived their day of
active usefulness, and are made to feel
every moment that they eat the bread
OF dependence and that their very
presence is an unwelcome burden.
With the old, under the happiest circum-
stances, life at last becomes mournful
retrospect. Their friends and compan
ions have departed and left them: the
new generation are not interested in
their "reminiscences, nor do they toler-
ate their old-fashioned opinions. The |
faces, the voices of the dead haunt their
dreams, and even their waking hours
are spent in the realm of memory.
Every careless word and every lack of
attention wounds the heart grown
sensitive through much suffering and
long prOtracted griefs. 1t is true that
there are few who become exacting
and tyrannical, making their age and
their debility lash with which they
ScOurge their unfortunate children
into AFFECT submission. To encourage
his species of selfish unreason is
weakness almost as reprehensible as
liSrespect on the other hand. 1t is not
either to the old or the
1oung, to encourage that intolerance
which adds nothing to their own in
lividual happiness. makes all about
hem miserable, and has done it's share
n adding to the heartbreak and the
orrOw of the world. But to those |
whose lives have been made up in de- '
'otiOn and sacrifice to their children !

SOLDIERS OF THE GOLDTRUST

For years past both of the old par
ties have been assuring the country
that they were about to give 1t tinan>
cial relief. \ great parade has been
made on their platforms of their de
vo,iun 10 the working classes. With
these promises they have garnered
votes and after the election the sue
ces sful Presidential nominee has
gone into the chair and notified the
nation that he was the bond servant
of Wall Street.
Thus it has come to pass that a
Presidential nominee has stopped to
the making of campaign promises he
never intended to keep, while run
ming on platform every plank of
which he was willing to repudiate if
necessary.
These men have been possessed of
no more honor or conscience than
the Sheriff of small county, prom
ising a hundred different men the

''See how the Democrats have
slaughtered silver in the Senate,

Both parties have butchered the
interests of silver only selecting a
different locality for the killing.
In the light of these facts no sane
man disputes that it is hard to sec
how any man who is really a friend
OF silver can have the hardihood to
assert that he expects either of the
old parties to lift finger to help re
lieve the present distress caused by a
contraction of the currency.
Look at the Industrial Armies
marching to Washington. They are
the victims of Republican and
Democratic congress who went into
the halls of legislation to do the bid
ding Of their Wall Street masters.

and distress no man who wants to
see change in the times can con-
tinue to aid and abet the fraudulent
political combinations serving Wall
Street now.

ties are now nothing more than SOL
