| 1t is not right, gentlemen, for a pro-
fession to gather round a governor and
have their profession regale him with

without hearing from the other side,
when he had promised to give such
hearing. Gentlemen, 1t takes more
grit than the average governor has got
to offend profession so large and in

other day to minister of the gospel
who for several years practiced medl-

got the thing down right" A reformed
drunkard can tell what whiskey will
do, reformed gambler can give us'the
best views on the ruin OF that life, and
why can't an ex-doctor throw some
light on the profession to which he
once belongedP Some will say that
my letter is contradictory, that l say
some of the profession of the M. DIS
are broad, intelligent men, and yet in
their profession they are narrow and
bigoted and dogmatic. reiterate it.
Some of the most intelligent, cultured
preachers in America are little, narrow
minded, contracted sectarians, who are
utterly and absolutely distasteful to all
intelligent people who listen TO their
TRADES on other creeds and Christians.
A man may be broad one way and
tremendously narrow in the other. and

up the rear of the procession, unless,
perchance, we preachers are.
When we take the science of cleo
tricity. which is but in its infancy,
when the Atlantic cable owners came
to Edison and said: ..Mr. Edison, un-
less you can help US. we are bank
rupted; the cable keeps breaking and
it costs so much to find the break that
We are bankrupted unless you can help
US" He replied: .'Gentlemen, when
the cable breaks again, let me know"
Mr.. Edison walked into his laboratory
and in forty-eight hours he had in
vented the electric meter. few days
later the owners of the cable wired
him that the cable was broken. Mr..
Edison went to the banks of Newfound-
land, put the meter to the cable, and
said to the repair ship: .'It is broken
just out two thousand miles from here.
Go to certain latitude and longitude
and you will find the break" Now, If
Edison, with science in It's infancy.
can tell on a few days notice where
The cable is broken two thousand miles
rom him at the bottom of the ocean,
1ow look at the doctors. They will
get fellow right down on bed or
able before them and he isn't six feet
ong, and they can't tell what is the
natter with him to save their lives.
Gentlemen, If you would handle your
PATIENTS with more skill the public
will have more respect for your intol-
,rance of one another.
With the wish for peaceful and
prosperous New Year for the M. DIS,
