HUMBUG AND THERAPEUTICS.

We hope to have the privilege of read
ing from a document of the Rhode Is
land Medical Society, or some medical
periodical that has the space available,
a complete report of the paper which DIR.
FREDERICK Il. ROGERS read at the Saith
annual meeting of the society, yester-
day, entitled "Humbug as a Therapeu-
tic Agent" and we regret that space
in this newspaper does not permit the
reproduction of the essay in full because
from our reporters abstract we are sure
that IL Is Of peculiar interest.
DR.. ROGERS, il we may judge OF his
ideas from the brief newspaper sum-
mary, regards humbugs in therapeutics
as far from undesirable, but rather as
factors contributing in their way to the
progress Of the science toward the long
looked for. but always far away, point
OF exactness. Medical theories, now ex-
ploded, DIR. ROGERS regards as hsv-
ing had beneficial effect on
the science of therapeutics and we
guess this view is correct. 1t is GER
tainly generally felt in all other sciences,
arts, and businesses that mistakes and
errors and humbugs contribute TO their
development by q reductio ad absur'
dun rocess, the elimination Of things
that you don't want TO do. As
applied TO therapeutics, DIR. ROGERS
idea, while we do not know as it is origi.
nal, as so few things can be wholly
original, is frank, novel and attractive
theme, and we want to get the chance
to read it all through.
And the field of such study is par.
ticularly inviting, not to say fascinating
when you contemplate that there are
probably lots Of humbugs in our thera
peutics that are not yet recognized, ol
even recognizable, today, but the true
character Of which will be divulge'
later. Meanwhile they are doing theil
humble, IL necessary, work in the devel
opment Of the profession.
We guess DIR. KEENE's address oil
"Alchoholism" was a first-class address
too. DIR. KEESE is a close student. hi
ideas are always up to date, and he know
how 10 express himself with rare
effectiveness. He handled humbugs
too, by tackling some Of the so-calle,
alcoholism cures. We must sttribui
IL largely 10 DR.. KEENE that that foolis
gold cure bill was not pat on our statut
book.

100 OLD TO BLACK BOOTS.
A Boston Gentleman Turned Down
by Police Clerk Gardner.

by Police Clerk Gardner.
An Italian, who walked all of tho way
from Boston with his boot blacking kit
slung across his shoulder, landed in the
city yesterday afternoon, and began to do
business at once.
One of his fellow countrymen, whether
through kindness OF heart or from
business purposes, told the new
conner that he would have
TO procure a license before he began
work. He was told that the license could
be had for the asking, and went of in
high glee to the city hall.
Now, it is a we'll known fact that Police
Clerk Gardner is one OF the best natured
men in the world; in fact all
cavalry veterans are. Well, Clerk
Gardner has charge Of the boot blacks and
newsboys, and takes special delight in
LAYING down the law TO them, and the
earnest, fat herly advice that he gives them
is interesting. 1t was to him that the
newly landed Italian told his story Mr..
Gardner listened attentively, but had
come to the conclusion that his
caller was more fitted for hard working
man than q bootblack, for he was at least
80 years old, strong and rugged.
Mr.. Gardner's face wore smile all OF
the time that the fellow was talking, but
after he had finished, a scowl, and such q
scowl came over Mr.. Gardner's classic face
900 back to Boston, sir, and don't you
black any boots in this city or you will
be arrested We don't know you, sir, &c
packrp "Thank you," said the man,
and ho spoke as II he meant it, and was
heartily glad that Mr.. Gardner had no,
caught him blacking, boots earlier in
the day. The fellow left the hsll
and was soon lost to Mr.. Gardner, and
those that had an opportunity to witness
the downfall of bootblack from Bos-
ton.
