FROM EXPERIENCE.
That Is, After All, the Best Way
to Form an Opinion.
How a St. Louis Man Got His,
and What 1t Amounts To.

There are few people who argue any kind
of question, who do not sooner or later
develop into the vulgarism, "How do you
know?' OF course, if a man has seen or
felt anything that is admitted to be the
best kind of evidence, but woe betide the
poor mortal who ventures to substantiate
his case with, 81 was told" ETC., etc. In
the words of the gentlemen who make life
interesting on the cattle trails OF Texas,
That don't go, pardner," is what will be
shouted at the offender. The good old
Southern proverb that
I" What we have seen and heard
With confidence we tel,''
Is usually the fixed and unyieldlng rule
that obtains, and it is a pretty good one,
too. gentleman from ST. Louis who
was asked recently for his opinion on the
Hudson Medical Institute-that grand es-
tablish ment which is known as 1.-The big
white building" and which stands on the
corner OF Market Stockton and Ellis
streets-said: 81 was treated tn ere, and
know what L am talking about w hen | say
1t has no equal in the Union; and an
other gentleman from the same CITY has
expressed his opinion in a letter to the
specialists practicing there as follows:
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug 8, 1895
Hudson Medical Institute, San Francisco
Cal.-GENTLEMEN: few months ago l placed
myself under treatment with the Hudson Medi-
cal Institute, as 1 had been sufferer for long
time with a complication OF diseases that
seemed to successfully resist all treatment
must confess that l was at first little bit skep-
teal about placing myself under the care OF
physicians nearly three thousand miles away
but l had reached n point where something
had to be done, as could neither sleep nor eat
with any degree of comfort. My whole system
seemed to be out of order, and l was completely
worn out now desire TO express my sincere
thanks to you for the careful, conscientiou
treatment that you gave my case. l am very
different man to-day, and [ have not felt as
well IN five years past as do now. ! wish to
TO hoe no Poi,
diseases of long standing, matter of what
nature, that If they write or apply to the large
white building at the corner of Market, Stock
ton and Ellis streets [ am sure they Will find
the relief they seek. and that they will re-
ceive the same careful and skillful treatment
that have at the hands OF the physicians of
the Hudson Medical Institute.
Wishing you continued success in your eff
forts to aid suffering humanity remain very
truly yours, FRANK MINTURN.
There is nothing really surprising in
this letter, though no doubt many people
might think so. In his good opinion of
The Hudson Medical Institute, Mr.. MIN
turn is sustained bV ga vast cloud of wit
nesses.' The good that is done in all cases
is SO prompt and SO lasting that patients
feel bound TO be grateful for what has been
done for them.

and my intellect brighter, and l would not
take $500 to relapse into the state was in be-
