lady customer, seeing the remedy ex-
posed for sale on my show case, said

CHAMP CLARK's ROSE.
American Beauty Draws the Attention
of the Audience.

WARRINGTON, May II = To-day,
when Representative Champ CLARK
entered the House, his lapel was
adorned with an American beauty
rose of such dimensions and brilliancy
as to shed both radiance and fragrance
throughout the great hall. The msm-
hers on both sides, impressed with
the brightness and beauty Of the
picture, broke into applause OF the
Missourian. Mr.. CLARK smiled bland-
ly and took his seat, and during the
day strangers in the galleries asked
the identity of the statesman with the
large boutonniere.

THE MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.
a Word From DR.. Hinds as to the
Good Resulting from the Ses-
sions Was a Success.

To the Editor Of the Ledger
mexico, Mo-, May 19.--The doctors
have come and gone and ! am sure
that everyone OF our citizens who was
in attendance upon the proceedings
of the convention or who personally
mingled with this body OF dignified
scientific men, will say in his heart, as
they departed from our midst; "God
bless the doctors"
From the opening prayer Of Rev.
Hanna to the closing OF the banquet
at the Windsor Hotel, the occasion
was most profitable and enjoyable. To
the writer especially, who, for some
years, has not been actively engaged
in the practice of his profession, IL
was a season Of peculiar enjoyment
and profit. The scientific discussions
of the various topics OF the programme
embracing almost every phase OF
modern medicine and surgery has
only increased my admiration and
wonder at the achievements Of the
century in the noble profession.
AS DR.. Kuhn, of Kansas City, 90
eloquently brought ont In bis banquet
speech for almost every great sclen-
tific discovery and achievement, the
world Is indebted to doctor OF med
icine. The same speaker also eIabo-
rated most eIoquently the fact that
the members OF the medical pro-
fession are the true altruists Of the
race. No man in any community has
wider opportunities Of doing good
and every practitioner Of medicine,
who is true to his profession, deserves
the gratitude of the community in
which he lives. No class OF men lead
more unseIfish lives or dispense more
charity among their fellow men than
the conscientious physician, trust as
the result Of the coming of these true
scientists among us the citizens OF
Mexico will have a higher apprecia-
tion OF the regular medical profession
and be less prone to run after all the
"fads" and ''isms" that come along.
1t is truly astonishing how sensible
people love to pe humbuggedl
AS another result Of our recent
medical convention ii is to be hoped
that the brethren of the regular pro-
fession will bury the hatchet, forget
all past differences and stand to-
gether for the true scientific treat
ment of disease. 1t is time to stop all
this foolishness and present a solid
front against all unsclentifc practice
of medicine.
The last meeting Of the Missouri
State Medical Association of the
nineteenth century at Mexico, Mo-,
was decided success and will be mem
orable In the history Of that body.
Those who were instrumental In Sc
curing this session In our city and
who made such ample provision for
the entertainment of the convention
deserve the thanks Of our citizens.
The writer, while q nominal member
of the committee OF entertainment,
deserves no credit whatever for the
work done by the committee and
hence can freely commend those who
did the work. II. K. HINDE.
