It's not what we eat, but what

The trouble with most weak

Such people can't work success

something that will help YOU. It's
Vinol. The boss has got hold Of
a way to prepare cod liver oil so it
tastes all right. He calls it Ninol.
There is iron in It, and it's Just the
stuff for fellows like you. It'll
give YOU an appetite. Il won't
hurt YOU anyway. Lots Of folks
round here are taking il. and they
tell their friends, and they come
and get II. If il don't help you,
come back and get your money"
We endorse what the clerk said.
We wouldn't have put time, money

hadn't known It was different from
the general run of medicines.
About ninety-eight out Of one

DuGMATIsM OF PHYSICIANS.
The Assumption of Wisdom with the
Intention of Deceiving Does
Not Always Deceive.

4
"a certain profession of dog
matism," says a great surgeon, in an
address to medical students, reports
| American Medicine, sis essential in
the treatment of the sick. The sick
/ man will allow of no hesitancy in the
recognition of disease. He blindly de-
hands that the appearance of knowl-
edge shall be absolute, however shad-
owy and unsubstantial may be the
basis of IT," But is this good advice?
1t is, so far as the patient is con-
| cerned, usually true at the time of i'll
ness, but there are several other con-
siderations which we believe make
the advice to the physician the reverse
of wise. In the first place there are
the patients relatives and friends.
Even in hospital practice and in pri-
vate practice among the poor it is not
true that the physician succeeds in
humbugging the friends by an as
sumed dogmatism without the reality
of knowledge and conviction. Among
intelligent laymen, far more fire.
quently than is supposed, one will
find that any such sham certainly is
at once detected. Doctors make
great mistake when they think their
deceits really deceive. Then there is
the patient who RECEIVERS. When he is
well the real diagnosis, the changes of
dogmatic opinion and medicines, the
blind alley of proved errors-these
are thought over, and the doctor is
scorned, not loved This is, in fact,
the origin of the famous saw concern
ing the wish Of the devil to become a
monk when he was sick, etc. Thirdly,
comes the reaction on the dogmatist's
character. One cannot dishonesty as
sumo knowledge, and skill, and
prophecy without at last fooling him
self and then he enters upon life of
continually descending taetlessness
in which the fraud becomes proper
tionately more evident TO others as it
becomes more unconscious to self.
The profession suffers, also, because
to il is charged the sin of the tricky
doctor Slyness, assumed virtues and
knowledge cunning these do, in fact,
prevent true professional success, /
But the foolish sly ones will never find .
