A partial and imperfect presenta-

Famous Physician of whom they
have read in years passed is here

fair and abundant opportunity with
out cost to themselves of knowing of
this wonderful agency which science
has at last brought to the aid of the
race, during the first week of the
Inauguration of Doctor McCoy's
practice in Washington the doors of
his vast Offices will be thrown open
to the public and all the people will
be cordially welcome to his consulta-

price. No pay will be received and
no obligation to pay incurred. DIR.
McCoy's own challenge to his dis
covery given in his celebrated mono
graph was that to prove its efficacy
to him treatment must cure by
scores and hundreds. Isolated cases
might result from chance or acci-
dent or natural causes. The hum

Washington what has been proven

He Explained Why Learning n Trade
Injured His Prospects.
A tramp appeared at the door of house
In Takoma Park yesterday. He was not
an ordinary looking tramp. Although rag
ged, there was an air about him that be-
tokened good breeding. He touched the
rim OF his battered hat with the grace of
Chesterfield, and the lady Of the house
gave him something to eat.
You look as though you had been a
gentleman" she said. Il am afraid you
are addicted to drink"
No, madam, you are in error" he re-
piled; addicted implies habit 1 am
thel efore not addicted to either eating or
drinking. I was, however, once a gentle
man. Ny downfall came from learning a
trade"
Learning trade?'
"Yes, madam 1 worked at the machin-
lists trade for five years, and so injured my
thumb and forefiEger that I could follow
my profession no longer, madam"
What was your profession?"
II wrote checks, madam"
And even then she did not know what he
meant; not until her husband came home
ard told her why the writing of checks
made him have to learn trade.

on the theory Of pOsons in the blood as the origin

knew of the progress he making, until in '9i
he announced what he felt the perfection of
his system Of medicine to the world, Gnd in April.

that the famous physician would extend to the
public generally the benefits that might be derived
from his Discovery.
The system Presented to the Public.
To attempt to present in a newspaper article any
thing like a record of the year that followed Doc
tor McCOy's announcement would be useless. The
adoption and recognition of the Discovery Of poison
In the blood the origin Of disease, by such an
eminent medical authority, the presentation of a
system of applied medicines bSsed upon 1t attracted
the attention Of the profession we'll the pub
lic Ethical prejldices were pOwerless to stand in
the way of hearty tributes of congIatulation in the
public press from Prof. Loomis of the University
State Beard Of Health of Massachusetts,; Doctor
Roach, the eminent suIseon Doctor Chaplin, presi-
dent of the Rhode Island Board of Health, and
others equally eminent.
Straight upon the announcement and adoption of
the New Treatment, there came the news of an
avalanche OF cures; such were never
known before In the practice of medicine; such
the profession knew were possible by no
existing methods; such cures had been
worked before by surgeons or physicians.
The Avalanche of Cures.
People, by long journeyngs from remote sec
tions, testified to the vast public interest which
has been awakened The formulation of a system
Of medicine, based on the discovery Of the blood
origin by the one man in America most capable of
the task, inaugurated, indeed, new era In what
is known as medical practice.
But the climax was not reached here. The dis
covery and Its application in a system of medicine
YVES only the prelude to what more wonderful,
more impressive to what will always be re,nem-
bered as the greatest work of the Famous Ply
sician, to what in the public dew will always
be the capstone and the keystone arch of his re-

Around Doctor McCoy's record, given In Its out
line at the close Of this article clusters SO much
tEat is of service to mankind much that
has been accepted by the profession Of medicine
as the Gospel of Modern Science, much with
which the people have grown familiar from other
men, who have taken their words and their knowl-
edge from the Great Master, that it is almost in
credible to believe that the life OF one man. and
he not yet passed the meridian, should have en-
compassed such a mersure Of achievement.
The formulation Of q treatment for Catarrhal
and Bronchial troubles from which sprang, through
Doctor McCoy's students and employees, vast medi-
cal enterprises, known wherever newspapers are
circulated by the ever-familiar portrait Of, and
interview with, the cured patient, was only an in
cident Of Doctor McCoy's earlier practice.
His Early Practice.
Upon this incident systems of medicines were
formed; systems part good and part bad; good
enough to encompass the entire ration in their
scope, but imperfect enough fail to satisfy the
Commanding Medical Genius who had founded
them, Doctor Mccoy felt their imperfections too
strongly to glory over what he had produced.
Readers Of this paper will remember that
throughout the years that Doctor McCoy's great
offices We're maintained in New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore, there record Of cures that
attracted the attention of the whole world, and
yet in spite Of that, the great physician felt too
strongly the imperfcction of the treatment then
used, 10 glory in the fame which followed him.
His Work In Europe.
When In 1892 at the time Of the announcement
of the discovery Of Prof. Koch in Berlin, tho
daily papers chronicled the departure of Doctor
Mccoy for Europe, there We're many who thought
that the discovery Of Prof. Koch the object of
his European trip.
1t was not, however, this discovery Of the lymph
which led the famous physician to the abandon
ment OF the largest practice in the world, to the
expenditure Of vast sums of money, to even the
difficult mastery of foreign tongues, that he might
work with scientists of other nations; 1t

The Police Court Records.
On the Police Court blotter of few
weeks back is the record of conjuration
spell that failed to work. A colored man
had woman in court charged with having
obtained s10-from him for bottle of "con-
juratio1 mixture" which she told him
would bring him job as coachman If he
would sprinkle it around stables on Con-
necticut avenue at O'Clock every evening.
This the man had done faithfully for a
week ard complained that no job was
forthcoming, neither would the voodoo re-
turn mis- $40.
This is exceptional case In police cir
cleS, not so much because the conjuration
spell did not work as because of the voodoo
being a woman, and her victim having the
courage to seek to bring the vengeance of
the law upon her.

me this answer:
"a healthy mind is castle that no evil
