The vast majority of mankind can not
offer an intelligent reason for his con.
vlctions. You have hung on and de-
Tended the old customs and practices
and fought everybody and everything
that offered or claimed superior ty over
The familiar modes. You almost s.arv-
ed Elias Howe after he had invented the
sewing machine; you tarred and feath-
cred the men who were exhibiting
Morse's magnetic telegraph; you want
ed to mob Robert Fulton; you killed the
man who invented the tanning mill; you
derided and abused the man who in
vented illuminating gas, you jeered the
idea of the telephone; you secuted the
electric light; you have always fought
every improvement and advance over
existing methods, and always will, until
the human family learns to breed for
more and better brains. No matter
how often you have to lay down, whip,
ped, you are up to oppose, with all the
strength of your puny intellect, the next
improvement. If it is OLD things you
are after, medical practice is one of the
oldest. Medical PRACTICE first began in
the early accounts Of the Egyptians.
Hippocrates was first to arrange the
principles of medicine into an ATTEMPT
ED science. Esculapius, 1850 B. c.,
first made it an exclusive study aud prac-
tice. His two sons became surgeons
in the Greek army during the Trojan
war. The worship OF Hsculapius. as a
god, spread through Greece. into Asia,
Africa and Italy. Pythagoras introiuc-
ed the practice of visiting patients at
their homes, 500 B. G. 800 B. c., Ptol-
envy founded medical school in Alex
andria in Egypt. Celebrated Ptolemies
were Erastratus and Herophilus who
were the first to dissect the dead. $50
years after Christ, Galen was born in
Pergamos, and 500 years after his birth
the Alexandrian Library was burned by
Caliph Omar. From the 18th to the
18th century the practice of medicine
was confined chiefly to the priests. In
1923 Harvey discovered the circulation
of the blood, for which ne was called
the ''circulator" in derision. He was de-
prived of the right to practice medicine
and threatened with Punishment for this
discovery. Do YOU know, yet, whether
your blood circulates or not? Do you
want to Danish Stanton because he does
not follow the methods of Hsculapius?
Do you know where your kidneys are
located? You are the same old animal,
calling yourself the epitome of all God s
creations, who have hung, broken on
the wheel, buried alive, burned at the
stake and flayed alive hundreds of limo.
cent fellow beings for differing with you.
Could you have your way, today, you
would soon fix DR.. Stanton. A Sank
Centre physician says DIR. Stanton pays
the printer to have his testimonials
printed, and that it is ''quack" methods.
Stanton pays five cents line for his
advertising space, and pays for it like
man. However, the testimonials are
just as true as though he dead-headed
them through. Look them up. AS to
''auacks' DR.. Stanton thinks there must
be more of them here else there could
not be SO many cases that have become
chronic. DR.. Stanton does not wish to
say word against any medical prac-
titioner; but if you think he knows moth
ing of medical history, practice and
methods, you are mistaken. and under
sufficient provocation will write you an
essay on ''quacks" that may prove inter
esting reading.
SAUK CENTRE, Sept. IA. 1897.
For three years I have been in poor
health and for the last eighteen months
of that time in the worst possible state
l have used any amount of medicine and
medical treatment which not only did
me no good but I became worse.j I was
thoroughly discouraged and hopeless.
I went to DR.. Stanton in Sank Centre
who told me all about my troubles and
symptoms better than could have told
him. lam taking his treatment and
want to say that for the first weeks
treatment am more than satisfied, for
now go to bed and sleep. I feel a
general improvement. live six miles
