Which IS THE
MORO BENEFICIAL?
Comparison Between Medical and
Scientific Discoveries.
Far-Reaching Benefits of New
Treatment for Mems
Diseases.
The Hudson Medical Institute Is
Effecting Cures in All Parts
of the Country.
From the San Francisco CALL

The master minds of the twentieth
century are not confined to legisla-
tive or collegiate halls.
In the medical world there are men
Of learning and ambition whose
achievements far surpass the political
strategies of the statesman or the lu-
mar discoveries of the astronomer. Re-
searches into materia medica which re-
veal remedies that will ameliorate the
physical condition of afflicted humanity
are of far more Importance than the
solving of problems of abstruse philos-
ophy or the discovery of the tail Of a
lost comet. 1t is only a small fraction
of the race that are interested in such
things; the world at large honors the
man or institution that can benefit it
either physically or financially, and
those who are fortunate enough to
attain that distinction are few indeed.
The Hudson Medical Institute of this
city has earned that distinction, for
through the medium of Hudyan, a
remedio-treatment of their own discov-
cry, they are successfully treating that
class of mems diseases due to worry,
folly or excesses of various kinds
This conclusion is forced upon one
who has visited the institution and
read the testimonials which have been
voluntarily given by the afflicted whose
sufferings have become a thing of the
past. 1t is evident that these
expressions of gratitude are sponta-
neous, sincere, and prompted by
heartfelt desire to afford tangible proof
to others that the causes of their mis-
cry can be effectually removed
These offerings come from all over
the United States-severaI were even
noticed from British Columbia and the
Hawaiian Islands-a1 of which indi-
Gates that the treatment can be sue
cessfully administered without the ne
cessity of coming to San Francisco.
The institute has reduced the matter of
consultation, advice and treatment to
an exact system, and the following let
ter shows how it works:

During the democratic administrations
the democratic state associations have
fiourished, and during the republican
administrations the republican associa-
tons have 1ourished. Immediately
after the announcement Of the election
of President Mckinley, in November.

began active operations with the ex-
pectation that their members would
secure political preferment during the

the solid business. OF the convention
will be taken up. President F. NJ.
Olney, ex-mayor of Providence, will
be reelected, according to present
plans, as will most of the other officers,
including Vice President w. c.. Van
derlip of this city. In its twelve years
of existence the society has had only
two presidents, the late John K. Tiff
fanny of st. Louis serving ten years, and
was succeeded by the present incum-
fent. The convention will formally
PASS upon and undoubtedly approve
the reincorpGratiop Of the society
which was authorized last wear. 1t
was formerly a West Virginian cOrpo-
ration, but will hereafter hail from
Minnesota. Another proposition is to
change the name from the American
Pl ilatelic association to the American
Philateiic society. This was suggested
by a few members who consider that
the initials at present, "A. p. A"
are sometimes misleading. Many of
the members, however, consider this
triyi al matter, and it may not be acted
upon.
The most important subject which
will come UP is the controversy going
On between the postoffice department
CT the United States and collectors over
the various newspaper and periodical
stamps issued by the government in the
last thirty years. For the last few
years the postoffice department has not
wished collectors to get hold of these
stamps, and it has now taken the step
of ordering them confiscated, without
money compensation, wherever found.
Collectors have banded together 20
fight the governments action. The
case involves the possessions of about
$4,000 stamp collectors.
The association comprises the lead
ing stamp collectors of the United
States, and consists now of more than
/ 200 members. 1t was organized in
1886 with 119 members. 1t forms a
medium of communication between
leading philatelists by maintaining an
exchange and sales department, which
has transacted business to the amount
of more than $4,000 a year. There
are probably 10000 collectors of post
age stamps in this city and vicinity,
and some of the finest collections of
in thf country are held here. Probably
the jdvniles are in the majority among
the half million stamp collectors in
the United States, but there are many
business and professional men of emf
renee among them. In the Massachus-
etts district the largest collection until
recently was that of Frederick w.
Aver of Bangor, part of which was
sold in London only a short time ago
for S250,000. He is one of the mem
hers of the American association, and
will attend the convention. The most
notable sale for cash of postage stamps
in this country was made in June in
this city, when the magnificent collec-
ton belonging to Mr.. Nash of Nash,
Spaulding & Co. was sold for $50 900.
