DOCTORS IN DENVER.
Proceedings of the Colorado State
Medical Society.

Denver-In a notable address be-
fore the Colorado State Medical So
ciety "Wednesday DR.. Richard c. Ca
bot of Boston spoke on "Mind Cure
Its Service in the Community" The
convention hall at the Albany was
crowded with both men and women
who were interested in the somewhat
novel views expounded by the emf
nent specialist.
According to DIR. Cabot, mind cure
must come into actual practice by
physicians just as medicine is used,
in order to combat the diseases which
confront the physicians of to-day. He
said that many apparently physical
troubles were of mental origin and
must be cured by mental suggestion.
For instance, he said laziness was a
disease of the brain, but could be
cured by proper mental treatment, Just
as many other diseases are cured. He
said that many Of the doctrines held
by faithcurists and others of their
kind were sound and deserving of emu
lation by the regularly practicing ply
sicians. The address was along the
same lines as that made by DR.. J. X.
Miller of Greeley the day before.
"1he Free Dispeusary and Its Rela
ton to the tuberculosis Crusade" was
the subject of the address by DIR. \. S.
Taussig. DIR. Taussig said that he be.
lieved in the free dispensary lay the
most potent remedy against the
spreading of tuberculosis. AS it now
is, he said, 1t is doing a vast amount
of good. but should proper laws be
passed giving the dispensaries the sup
port they deserve. the speaker said 1t
should result in very important
change in the tuberculosis conditions
in Denver.
Numerous other important papers
were read before the society.
Following the reading of the papers
the annual convention of the Colorado
Medical Legislative League was held
at the Albany. The new officers for
the year were: President. DR.. II. r.
Bull of Grand Junction; first vice
president. DIR. ]. p. Willard of Denver:
second vice.presideut. DIR. Y. w. Miles
of Denver; secretary and treasurer,
Dr. NJ. NJ. McGihin Of Denver; coun-
sellor. II. E. Kelly Of Denver.
Four things are 10 ia advocated be-
fore the coming session Of the legisla-
ture: a pure food law, an act regulat-
ing the control of all hospitals, dispen-
saries and socalled homes" placing
them under the control of the physi-
clans themselves; TO fight the unde-
sirable bills to be brought before the

cists in fixing an adequate poison law
