ney From worthinston
to Berlin.
Dear Friends at Worthington and
Round Lake: - As good many
friends expressed q desire to hear
from us and have little time to
write, will writ to you all through
your paper the advance" We
had a nice visit at Niagria Falls,
and want to say for those who
never saw the Falls that no de-
soription or painting you ever saw
can give you any idea of their gran
deur and greatness, pouring forth
such wealth Of beauty and power
that man for once at least, stands in
awe and is powerless with line,
pen, or brush.
We were at Boston five days.
Here at this time was held the meet
ing of the American Medical Asso-
citation. This was great meeting
of doctors from every etate, Canada
and Europe held for the advance
ment of Medical Surgical knowl-
edge. Minnesota was highly hon
ored because VIM. Mays president
elect took the chair to preside over
this meeting. Good old Boston
won the hearts Of us all as the way
she receives strangers is oertainy
fine. wish that she might be an
exampe to many of our western
cities. Here too often when such
meeting or convention is held 80
many think only chow much mon
ey can I Make" because Of their
coming. This spirit Of feeling"
was entirely absent here in his.
toric Boston, Boston truly is called
the most historic place in America,
as nearly every foot of ground has
connected with it some event in
the early history of our beloved
country. We left Boston on the s.
s. Arabic Of the White Star Line.
This great Ocean Monster flies across
the Atlantic in about seven days
and as rule has about as many in
habitants as Worthington It 'cer-
tainly can be said that the day of
footing hotels are past for now we
have floating cities. The life on one
Of these ships after all is not so diff
erent than it is in city like Worth
ington. The electric light plant on
this ship is fully as good as that Of
Worthington if they had Buchan to
run it and l am sure a grocery
store like Loveless' could not begin
to supply tho wants of the passen-
gers. You no doubt wonder why I
say Worthigton.
About our being sea sick, we'll we
told our friends we had no notion
of getting sea sick and kept our
promise. ''We took our medicine and
every thing came out all right" but
nevertheless, we we're very happy
when land came in sight Of fog. We
spent several days in England then
crossed the North Sea for Germany.
Our trip across the North Sea
was not so pleasant as we were in
fog much Of the time. The sight
of fog was disgusting to me and l
lost one meal.
Berlin is a very beautiful city,
and very cosmopolitan, we have here
now about four hundred Americans
most Of whom are here for study.
It is a great sight to go down in
the regions of the large hospitals in
the morning and see the great
stream of humanity representing
almost every desease pouring into
these hospital to be treated and
cared for. It is great treat tor
medical man to sit at the feet OF
these masters and watch them per-
form their wonderful cures. Men
like Won Bergman, and Oldshausen
who have been leaders in medical
and surgical service for the past
forty years still are active and op-
crate every morning. It is inter-
esting to note that Germany which
has made the greatest advances
in the art of healing is gradually
getting away from drugging and
using others methods less harm
full and with far more lasting re-
suits.
We send you all h earty ''gruss''
