ECHO KEITH TROUBLE

The thirty-seventh annual meeting of
the Kansas Eclectic Medical association
which commenced on Wednesday even
ing at Steinberg's hall was in a disturb
ed state of mind this morning which
may result in several designations from
the association.
Two things contributed to the trouble.
One is the probable suspension of DR..
H. Kitchener of Wichita for advertising
medicines by means of a vaudeville
show. The other is the fact that the
association this morning attended a
clinic at the Keith-Rhodes hospital. DR..
R. 0. Rhodes is vice president of the
Eclectic association. His utilization in
the hospital business with DR.. H. H.
Keith, because the latter has been GUST
ed by the Shawnee county regulars, is
not at all to the liking of some of the
Eelectics and they are complaining.
Rhodes position as vice president of the
association would, according to the or
der of things, make him president at
tomorroW's annual election. But he
won't get it. said DR.. E. B. Packer of
Usage City. who is secretary.
''Why?" he was asked.
This affair has no business in the
newspapers' was his retort. I'm not
going to talk about it.
A little while after most of the MEM
Keith Rhodes hospital to witness the
clinic, DR.. Packer was spoken to by DR..
W. G. Hamilton of Topeka about DR..
Keiths expulsion and the reason there
fore.
7 was not going to the clinic" said
DR.. Packer as he picked up his hat,
but I am going now to see for my
self
DR.. Hamilton and DR.. O. S. Massey.
both told DR. Packer that they were
oh
stay in, said Hamilton, but I will re-
fuse to hold the office of treasurer any
longer. I see no reason why the associ-
alton should knock out DR.. Kitchener
because he advertised with a vaudeville
show, and then 60 and attend a clinic
by DR.. Rhodes. who is in partnership
with a man who has been kicked out
of the Shawnee County Medical SOci-
ETY.. I do not see the logic in that" DR..
Massey expressed similar sentiments.
DR.. Hamilton said that he knew of two
or three other men that the association
may also lose, but he would not divulge
their names.
Kitchener Case an Old One.
The Kitchener case is an old one. He
is a well known doctor at Wichita and
according to the story, took a number
/ Of different medicines and advertised
/ and sold them through the medium of
a vaudeville show. One of the prepare
/ tons was "ZymOtiC Tablets, a fever
medicine prepared by DR.. w. Q. Ham
| ilton of Topeka. The latter disclaimed
| all knowledge as to the manner in
1 which DR.. Kitchener sold his medicine,
4 and the Eclectic society declared that
1 they know that he had nothing to do
with the obnoxious scheme of advertis-
ing.
