Doctors are Reprobates
Says a County Physician in Reply to
Our Comment on his TRADE.

whiskey- worse morally and physical
ly. Said quack medicine is sailing
under false preteDses: it is a wolf In
sleeps clothing.
All over the county nostrums are
given advertising space in our local
newspapers. They are material frauds
and lies. That good, virtuous, moral !
publishers should permit this to con-
tinue is paradox to every honorable |
physician. TO refer to this fact is
not an insult, for truly we all feel that
the editors "know not what they do"
The quack medicines after all pos
sibly do not make so much less
work for the doctors. Perhaps there
is MORE medical practice for their ex-
lstence. Medical men are fighting
everything that menaces the health of
the human race. They would wipe out
every quack medicine on earth Just as
they would wipe out typhoid fever,
pneumonia, and every disease, If they

Physicians face diseases of all kinds

physician learns to feel toward the

ward a child. If a parent admonishes
his children not to eat unhealthy food
his motives are like those of the medi-
cal man when he says. Beware of
Secret Nostrums." There have been
doctors" who have bribed bell boys,
hack drivers, telephone girls, police
men ETC., to steer people looking for
OTHER doctors to THEIR office: this is
working graft in the full sense of
the word and is dishonorable yet it
does not compare with the sin of sell
ing disguised whiskey as a cure-all to
contiding, sick and suffering human
ity: mixing just enough morphine or
cocaine into dose SO that the victim
who buys it will develope an appetite
that may blast his future and turn
him into fool laboring under the
delusion that he has baen Cured.
No wonder Life Insurance Companies
are finding out that the use of
proprietary medicines adds to the
risk. When shoe does not fit the
foot it usually does harm: so with a
medicine, only more so. In Germany
it is a requirement by law that the
formula should be placed upon every
bottle of proprietary medicine. This Is
move in the right direction but the
wrong is deeper than this. A medi-
cine should be made expressly for the
case in hand to fit that case only or
we should bring the medicine to the
case not the case to the medicine.

The following is from the pen of
the physician who last week wrote Of
Patent Medicines" and Is a reply to
the editors comment on that article.
AS a matter of fairness we give space
to this reply-and here the matter
ends. We believe the writer's state
ments fully, but know the futility of
attempting to wean the public from
its patent medicine bottle and do not
propose to run up rgainst a suag of
this kind. Editors Note.
The physician says:
The writer would comment upon the
comments Of the editor, who generous
ly and much to his surprise gave space
to his notes versus Patent Medicines.
First, as to the statement of the ed
itor that physicians, like some trades
have their little graft--the grating
physician is dshonorable. He may do
his grating and not be discovered and
appear respectable, but when discov-
cred he is banished from the society of
his profession. Now, what is the con-
duct of CRATER in the medical pro-
fession? 1t is simply one who in a
covert manner, secretly employees some
one to send practice to him. If Mr.. A

ever done these things, If ! ever dc
them, deserve the contempt and the
scorn of every honorable physician
There are so-called physicians that ust
these covert dishonorable methods
and their conduct is upheld by respect

quack who openly advertises in news

Secondly. Our editor refers to sin

The writer tried to be too brief ant

GAMBLING FL0URISHES

Large Sums at Stake in StaterOOm
Games, Where Card Sharps Some
times Have Hand and Take Big
Winnings from the Uninitiated.
Toronto Letter in New York Times.
Gambling on the big passenger ves-
sells of the Great Lakes has reached
vast proportions in recent years. This
is only noticeable during the tourist
season. Now it is in the hight of it's
progress since traffic is very heavy.
Canadians are inclined to attribute
this increasing vice to the Americans
who have overrun Canada in recent
years They and the tourists from
the States are held responsible for
the gaming on board the packet YES
sells of Ontario. Erie, Huron and Su-
perior. The card games are more in
evidence on the enormous passenger
vessels plying between Canadian ports
in Huron and Superior
Especially is this true of the traffic
from away to the West-Fort William
and Duluth, south TO Detroit, Owen
sound and Sarnia, via the 500. The
half dozen companies enga ged in this
passenger business find it very lucra-
tive, and some of the handsomest and
most scommodious steamships on in
land waters are found in this carrying
trade. They have a water haul of l.
500 miles, and for nine months of the
year the profit is satisfactory. The

was table stakes. The two cheats had

ante was 81, and the limit Whatever
there was in front IF a man, each,
however, having a show for as much
as he put in.
A player to the left of the cheat with
khe deal got jacks and tens and
promptly opened the pot for $40. one
of the innocent players by accident
had caught three trays and promptly
raised the Dot $25. Next to him was
the cheat with the four aces. He saw
the $35 it cost him to draw cards, but
did not reraise, leaving that to the
man who he supposed had the four
queens, and he failing to raise, he
knew his partner would raise him with
a dead hand. The producer with the
straight flush did raise. He did not
know enough about the game to I'M
derstand that the other sharper would
raise the pot. He wouldn't take the
chance. He made it an even 500 to
draw cards. The other sharper, seeing
it was unnecessary for him to come in
to make the sucker" bet his money,
threw down his hand The opener with
the jacks up dropped out, but the man
with the three trays staped in. He
drew right down, taking two; the
cheat guessed one would do for him,
and the straightforward man stood pat.

sententiously observed the crook with
the four aces.
But the railroad official was too much
excited to talk. The play looked quite
natural all around. The crooks could
not suspect anything. The man with
the three trays dropped out when he
failed to help his hand. For the ap-
pearance of the thing the cheat who
came next passed it up to the pat hand.
The size of the pot" he said, and he
counted out $500. The crook studied
his hand, and finally raised it $500, OBJ
serving that he had filled and could not
lay down for SO small a sum. The
sucker" counted his wallet, and OBJ
serving that he did not have but just
enough to call it. said if he had more
he would risk it. The crook told him
he was privileged to borrow if he de-
sired. He thereupon showed his hand
to a friend among those present, who
went out and returned with $1,000. The
young fellow bet it all. The crook
asked permission to borrow. 1t was
granted, and from his partner he got
enough to call.
Then came the denouement. The
man who put up the $1,000 for the
straight flush also brought a big six
shooter back with him. Seeing they
were fairly caught the crooks said
nothing Then. they were exposed.

stir that fashionable colony any more
than would the arrival of Miss Mary

did not cause anything of a social SEN
