A CARD FROM DR.. WALKER.

Some people wonder how 1t is ! can az
ford to treat patients and furnish all
medicines for So month. prominent
physician actually tried to argue to me
yesterday that could not afford to treat
ulcers, tumOrs, bad skin diseases. and all
kinds or nervous and chronic diseases and
furnish medicines for So month; never
theless ] am doing II, and am every day
discharging patients as cured who were
before coming to me pronounced by other
Physicians incurable, Notwithstanding his
brilliant arguments to the contrary. One
trouble with the medical fraternity is
that its bump OF se.f-importance has been
developed into huge proportions. and il is
too often the case that a Physicians fee
purse. I'd rather treat 200 patients at So
a month and sleep well every night than
to treat twenty at 500 ana feel that
had robbed somebody. believe that I
know as much about the treatment OF
Throat, Lung, Stomach. Bowel, bladder.
Heart, Liver, Kidney. Private. loOd.
Urinary, and Nervous Diseases as any
physician in Washington. My success in
their cure has been shown by the hundreds
of testimonials have published In the past
three years, all of which tand hundreds
that have never been pCblished) can be
seen on file at my office. and shall continue
my good work OF refusing TO accept larger
fee than So a month from any one patient.

or a half dozen ailments. My treatment
for diseases peculiar to females has never
been elualed by any physician in Washing

OF the criticisms OF the medical profession,

Don Dickinson came down like a wolf on the fold.
Ills cohorts oil cleaning with sound money gold,
And the sheen OF their votes was like stars ON the SEQ,
That Is, as near yellow as starlight can DO.
Like the leaves OF the forest when summer Is green,
His hosts with their banners In Detroit were seen;
Like tho leAvesOf the forest when autumn hath blown,
Were the silVerites after the result was made known
For the voters OF Don spread their wings on the blast
And Tapped In tho face OF the foe as they passed.
Ana the eyes of the silveritSs waved deadly and chill,
And their nerve but once heAyed, and forever was still
And there lay ono leader; a slug in the neck
Had left him In such a condition OF wreck
That he couldn't have told you, with any regard
For the truth. what I; was that had hit him 30 hard
And there lay another, distorted and pale.
With a bug In his ear and a twist In his tail;

Senator make his own speech. and let the whole OF

The adjournment OF the Senate here put
an end to the discussion.
Senator HILL was clearly right In his OBJ
lection, although his point was evidently
misunderstood at first by some members OF
the Senate. What he wanted to prevent
was the publication OF Senator PRoCToR's
speech in the Congressional Record In such
a way rs to make It appear that the speech
was actually delivered In the Senate by Mr..
PROCTOR, instead of having been read there
by Senator PLATT. In other words, he In
sisted that the Record should tell just
what really happened, and not con-
vey to It's readers the false impression
that the Senator from Vermont had been
addressing the Senate upon or important
public measure, when, In fact, he was not
in the Capitol at all. II the speech was to
go into the Record, he contended that It
should go in as a part Of MI. PLATT's re-
marks, and not as though Mr.. PROCTOR had
himself given a voice to It.
Can any one doubt the correctness of
this position 1t is a pitiable business for
this great Government to publish an official
account of the proceedings Of the national
Legislature in which men are credited with
speeches which they have never delivered.
