derstood and their endeayor 10 warn
a superficial public against such ir-
regular practitioners in construed as
professional jealousy. For this rea-
son public sentiment often fails to
stamp out the whole tribe Of taint-
ed tricksters.
The Journal of the American AIedi-
cal Association, to which The Times
is indebted for the illustrations used
herewith, has presented number of
cases in which this class of moral
degenerate has carried on his dead
~ work in various States OF the
Union.
One Of the most notable instances
is that Of Edward RyeJzei. who in
1902 pres uted himself before the
Colorado medical board for resistra-
tion. In proof of his fitness for a
physicians license he presented a
genuine diploma from the University
OF Toronto, issued in the name OF
George A. Elliott. whom Ryetzel
professed to be. The Authorization
of the credentials. while not ccnclu-
sive, led the authorities to believe
that they were genuine and a Ii
cense to practice IN the State was
issued, Almost Immediately after the
permit was granted, DR., Elliott f?l
opened a private surgical hospital
for women. and from the advertise
ments which appeared in the daily
papers it became apparent that the
man had descended 10 the lowest
dregs of the medical fraternity. 1t
was still believed, however, that he
was a man Of sams ability, who had
TenatInced all the ethics of his pro-
fessioH. The Colorado board, under
the existing State statutes, was pow
erless to revoke the license except
upon pEeaf sufficient To convict on

must at least possess the quality OF
daring; the murderer braves the
known dangers Of the gallows. when
his deed is not committed IN a f1t
of anger; the sneak thief is usually
actuated by dire necessity. But the
medical fake and forger always has
the intelligence. which. If put to le-
gittmate use, would afford him a
place OF affiuence and of honor
among his fellow-men. Instead of
pursuing this course he chooses TO
prey like a hyena upon those who
are stricken, and who have the right
70 expect sympathy rather than
criminal practice and revolving
cruelty. These are the men who
feast upon the gulhbiIity OF the gen
eraI public, and their lives are made
up of ignominious frauds and cases
of malpractice.

was not the original Dr.. Elliott.
After a search extending over the
United States and Canada the real
Dr. Elliott was located in Ontario.

could be done, Ryetzel vas jailed

which he promptly Jumped" leav-
ing the States. He was finally
brought to justice through the eff
forts Of the United States postal au-
thorities, who had a case against
him for sending immoral literature
through the mails.
Instead of being intimidated by
his experiences in Colorado, Ryetzel
escaped TO Chicago, where he i'm
mediately began similar operations
as DR., George E. Cooke. He secur-
ed his license in Chicago by erasing
the name Elliott from the University
of Toronto diploma and substituting
his new alias The postal authori-
ties soon found him, however, and
he was extradited to Denver, where
he was fined 81 900 and sentenced
10 three years in penitentiary, where
he is now at hard labor This mans
record, as developed during the
trial, contained several dark chap
ters in addition to those already
recited. showing that he was an
adept in the evasion of the nations
laws. He was a bigamist as we'll as

RHEUMA MATISM
ALMOST AS COMMON IN SUMNER AS IN WINTER

While the damp, cold, changing weather Of
Winter intensies the pains and other disagreeable
symptoms Of Rheumatism, it is by no means
winter disease exclusively. Through the long
months Of Summer its wandering pains and twitch-
ing are felt by those in whose blood the uric
acid, which produces the disease, has accumulated
Rheumatism is disease that involves the en-
tire system. It's primary cause results from the
failure of the eliminative organs, the Liver Kid
neys and Bowels, to carry out Of the system the
urea, or natural refuse matter. This coming in
contact with the different acids of the body forms
uric acid which is taken up and absorbed by the
blood. This acid causes fermentation of the blood,
making it sour and unfit for properly nourishing
the body, and as this vital stream goes to every
nook and corner of the body the poison is dstrib-
uted to all parts. The nervous system weakens
from lack of rich, pure blood the skin becomes fe
verish and swollen, the stomach and digestion are
affected, the appetite fails and general diseased

McGrew's grocery has presented a
very busy scene for the past few days,
a large number Of workmen and teams
being employed, cleaning out the eel
lar of the store which underwent con-
siderable damage during the recent
flood. Though this firm, owing to
the nature of it's stock, suffered per-
haps more than other in the city,
it's enterprising management saw that
there was no cessation of the stores
business and the service it rendered
its patrons all this week was defective
in very few particulars.
Now that the damage done by the
flood is fully known the stores loss is
somewhat greater than expected. Much
stock was carried in the stores eel
lars all of which was greatly damaged
by the water if not practically ruined.
By noon today workmen had been
successful in cleaning up the worst of
the damage and by Monday all the
damaged stock will have been re-
the cellars scrubbed and
washed and everything about the store
will have been placed in good shape
for the resumption of business as
heretofore.

When Gold BOfla.

Professor Henri MOissan has been
trying some interesting experiments in
vaporizing gold in the electric furnace.
He finds that it bOils at 2.4OO degrees
c. and that 100 to $50 grains can be
evapOrated in two or three minutes.
By condensing the gold vapOr on a
cool surface either filiform masses or
cubical crystals can be obtained 1t is
found that gold, like copper and iron,
dissOlves a certain amount of carbon
when in the liquid state, but this sep
arates out as graphite on cooling. Gold
Is found to be less volatile than copper.
The properties of distilled gold are the
same as those of hammered gold or
the melted metal reduced to a fine
powder. Professor MOissan has found
no indications of an allotropic mOdifi-
cation of gold. When an alloy of cop
per and gold is distilled the vapor Of
copper comes over first, showing that
there is no definite compound. In the
case Of alloys Of gold and tin the latter
metal burns in contact with the air.
This tin oxide is found to be Of a pur-
pie color, due to deposit Of fine gold
on its surface-London Globe.

WAS SENT TO THE MADHousE
E. II. Ryan, of Mansion, Wis.,, Rail-
roaded to an Asylum, Is Or
dered Released.

MADISON, Wis, June "A case
in which a sane man was committed
to a Wisconsin insane asylum was
heard in the Dane county court today.
The principal was E. H. Ryan, aged
40 years, widely known real estate
dealer of Mansion, who was ordered
discharged from the asylum immeli-
ately at the close of the hearing.
On returning home from a business
trip several weeks ago Ryan's Swear
old daughter complained to him that
a neighbours young boy had thrown
sand in her hair. This aroused the
ire of Ryan and he caught the young
ster and administered a sound spank
ing.
Shortly afterward the grandfather Of
the boy complained to the authorities
that Ryan was a dangerous man to be
allowed at large and asked that he be
sent to an insane asylum. Ryan
one of assault. Even when physician
had a short chat with him, no suspic-
ion of the real proceedings dawned
on him.
The fact that his wife was ill in
bed and his attorney temporarily alb
sent from the city increased his pre-
dicament. Only one doctor, instead
of two, as required by law, saw or
! examined him between the time of his
arrest and his commitment, and he
was not taken before the judge who
ordered his commitment
! Ryan was in the insane asylum nine
teen days before his wife became well
+ enough to ask for his release.
