The Tourist Finds much of Interest
Among the Caves and Natural
Bridges of California.
California has numerous natural
bridges, caves, etc., OF no little
interest. The mammouth cave of
Calaveras was discovered by mi
ners IN 1850. It contains, among
other striking features, a rock snap
ed like boat. and various apart
mepts whose peculiar conformation
or appertenances have caused them
to receive such names as Odd Eel
lows Hall, Bridal chamber, Gaia
ract, etc.
In Placer county, s miles from
the Central Pacific tract, IS the
Alaeaster cave, containing large
rooms, crystalline waters aud inuu
merable stalagmites, stalactites, etc
In Tuosumne county is the ChlV

Near this cave are two natural

He wrote extensively and his sur
gerry is standard in all Homeopathic col
leges In 1891 Yale did herself the honor
of conferring the degree of LII D.
upon him. Talcott, who for 25 years
was at the head of the great Middle
town hospital for the insane in New
York, made for it a record the equal if
not the best of any similar institution
in the world. The placing OF all the
more recently built hospitals for the IN
sane in New York under homeopathic
treatment is notably due to the success
of Dr. Talcott at MiddletOwn.
But the greatest personal loss to us

i've years ago no student from a Home
opathil college could get credit Tor
work done In such institution from an
Afiopatnlc college Less than thlIty-flVe
years ago state examining brOads had
they conception in a desire to trammel
tas ereW school of medicine by compel
Ing all practitioners to pass an exanliIl-
alton before board OF Allopathic
physicians Our school was not caught
mapping and today ia all states save
one or two the medical laws are as fair
10 the Homeopathic and Ecleetics
schools as to the q linant school of
medicine.
I'VE have reason then TO congratulate
ourselves that since the organization Of
this society we not only have the re-
spect of the time honored Aiopath, but
that our school has been recognized as
being as regular IS their own, and that
in all legislation affecting medical prac-
tice Homeopathy has to be reckoned
with
However, a more tangible reason for
congra tulation is the growth Homeo-
pathy has made in the past thirtyfive
years Then we had five colleges; to-
day we have twenty. Then we had but
few hospitals and dispensaries; today
we have twenty. Then we had but few
hospitals and dispensaries; today we
have over three hundred hospitals. dis
penSaries and sanitaFiums, with proper
ties and endoWments aggregating mill
lions of dollars. In all branches of
medicine we have kept pace with other
schools. In surgery we have as many
and as good practitioners in proportion
10 our numbers as have any of our fell
low workers. while in pharmacopea, and
materia mediCa we have excelled. Our
Homeopathic text books and journals
are meeting all the requirements of our
profession, and we have the largest
work on materia medica in the English
language.
Moreover, homeopathy has been a
blessing to humanity not alone in what
its practitioners have done. but also in
the influence 1T has had in modifying
the practice of the dominant school Of
medicine. Opposition has its advantages
and the world do move. We must not
imagine that while we have made such
wonderful progress the regulars have
been standing still. On the contrary
they have made many discoveries in
medical science which we are glad to
adopt; ye9 the greatest discovery in the
medical world. and the one that makes
a true medical science similia sirnilibus
curantur. was the discovery of our Illus
trious founder, Samuel Hahnemann-
Happy indeed we would be today, in
view of the progress Homeopathy has
made the last three and a half decades,
were we not compelled to reflect upon
the havoc death has made in the ranks
of our distinguished men since our last
meeting. Richard Hughes of England,
