A FlatfOOted Denial.
CIV the Associated Press.

(By the Associated IreSS.)
Mansfield, o., Dec. 6.-Mrs. Cassie
L, Chadwick made two or three visits
to Mansfield, called upon Judge Bruck-
err. president of the Bank of Mansfield,
and attempted to negotiate loan OF
$4,000 through him. She also called
upon the law firm of Cummings Be-
Bride & Wolfe and attempted to re-
tain this firm to secure $4,000 loan
for her. She visited Judge Brucker
twice within an interval of six months
between and on the second occasion
showed him what purported to be a
receipt for a $4,000 fee in case signed
by Virgil p. Kline. a we'll known Cleve-
land lawyer. This receipt was exhibit
ed by the woman after she had offered
to retain Judge Brucker under fee of
$4,000.
This story was sent out by the Asso-
ciated Press and Judge Brucker is
now in receipt of a letter from Virgil
p. Kline stating that he never signed
a receipt for $4,000 and if the Chad
wick woman showed one it was a
forgery. Judge Brucker however. re-
iterateS he was shown one by the Wo-
man.
The letter from Virgil P. Kline to
Brucker says that he had some legai
business with Cassie Chadwick but the
fee she paid him was not S30,O0O or
any where near as large as that. Thls
is the first time the alleged $500
receipt has been branded as forgery
and Mr.. Kline comes out with a Tat
footed denial through Judge Brucker.

HEALERS OF ILLS
Seaboard Medical Asso.
citation in Session. DR..
Bottoms Address.
(spencial to News and Observer


Washington, n. c., Dec. 6.-The
annual address of DR.. Mahlon Bolton
of Rich Square, president of the Sea-
hoard Medical Association OF Viz
einia and North Carolina, was the
event of the opening session in Elks
Hall tonight. The men of medicine
were out in force and DR.. Bolton spoke
before a large audience which fol-
lowed his every word and gesture with
hattering attention.
In opening his address he expressed
his thanks for the honor conferred
upon him by his election TO the presi-
dency of the body at the last session.
He then said in part
THE great purpose of our assocla-
ton is to advance the interests of our
beloved profession and thereby con-
tribute to the alienation of human
suffering and the prolongation of hui
man lfe. The cause of suffering hu-
mainly is our cause. Nevertheless it
is not only desira BILE but very neceS-
sary that the hard worked doctor
should from time to time throw off
the CALLING harness of constant pro-
fessional service and steal away for
day or two in social intercourse and
consultation with his professional
brethren.
THE Seaboard Society is in fine con-
dtion. We have about 275 active
members, representing the best med
ical talent in tidewater Virginia and
North Carolina. It's growth and sue
cess have been phenomenal. \
N"Our society has been gloriously
free from politics and petty factionaI
iealousies We have lived to see the
advantage of multiplied medical So
cieties.
This society has achieved an hon
orable distinction among similar or
CARNATIONS.
None of us are ideal physicians,
for the ideal doctor still exists only
in the imagination of the public and
hopes of the honest physician.
The doctor should be jealous of
his reputation as a citizen as we'll as
physician. We are to be estimated
by the measure of overusefulness
Speaking of the relation of physi-
clan and his patients, Br. Bolton said
that the standard of morals, as well
as scientific attainments is being
raised. The doctor contributes large
ly to the influence which shapes the
morals in the homes where he goes
and the community where he lives.
THE public has a right to expect
better results from us---than from our
predecessors. We have long since
learned not to expect too much from
drugs per Sc. for we often make the
administration of drugs secondary to
other measures, but knowledge of
the human system. the cause, pathol-
ogy and effects of disease and the
physiologic action of ways are essen
tial to the successful practice of the
healing art. d.
''The timely and judicious admins
tration of medicine is essential to
counterfeit morbid processes and con-
duce to a favorable termination of,
most diseases.
I'VE are not ready to admit that it
would be better for mankind if all our
therapeutic agents were thrown into
the sea.
He who is most useful TO most
! people is truly the greatest man in
his community"
