In the death of w. C. Whitney. the

done more to purify the sport than
any one in its history.
That Mr.. Whitney was a stalwart

lied by a brief recapltulation of SONS
of the many prominent features OF his
turf career. The famous Saratoga race
course owes its present high plane to
the delight felt by Mr.. Whitney in his
short experience there in 1899, his sec

volume published by the Jockey Club
and far more explicit in its details OF
the racing history of the mares which
figure in the pedigrees of each of his
brood mares.
Mr., Whitney's first connection With
the turf really began in 1898, when the

denial that he made any such asser-

| CURE The SICK
BY Intelligent
Treatment

Because they lack the experience nee
essary to give them thorough knowl-
edge of Chronic Diseases, the average
doctor is hasty to declare such cases
incurable, that do not yield readily to
his experimental treatment. The term
'incurable" is used rather indiscrim-
inately by a large percentage of the
medical profession. but believe that
1t will be found upon investigation that
1t is applied most frequently by those
doctors who have not kept pace with
the rapid progress in the science of
medicine, and who find that many cases
refuse to yield to their Anticipated
methods of treatment. After expert
menting and subjecting the patient to
treatment entirely misdirected, and
hence, wholly Ineffective, they are
quick to place them in the incurable
class and consign them to a future
without hope.
