GIVING DRUGS ON DECLINE
Confessions Of Physicians Giving Less
Medicine -0steOpathy Gives
None

Young doctors give too much
medicine said the late venerable
DR.. Austin Flint, Sr., of New York,
who in his time was regarded as
dean of the American medical pro-
fession. ga doctor will give more
medicine the first year than the
next three; he will give more the
fifth year than the next ten; the
better doctor he becomes the less
he gives; and | suppose, if we
would become perfect doctors, we
would give noner'
DR.. Flint was true prophet of
health to make this observation
thirty years ago; and this prediction
goes to show how ripe was the
practice of medicine for the intro
duction of system like Osteopa-
thy, which does away with drug
ing absolutely. DR.. Flint could
have had no other conviction in
mind when uttering these prophetic
words than that drugs are well
nigh total disappointment to the
practitioner and ar. harmful-even
to the healthy, but more especially
to the sick.
If it is the part of ripe exper-
fence in the medical practice that
patients make better recovery with
out subjecting them to drugging,
then what is the argument for
apology for cramming the heads OF
medical students so full of alleged
cures" while they are in college,
only TO have them learn by fatal
experimenting npon the hapless
sick, little later on, that nearly
the whole 3 900 or more prepar
alions in the pharmacopea are
worthless, if not for the most par
positively harmful
Professor A. H. Stevens, of the
New York College of Physicians
and Surgeons, and author of stan
dard medical textbooks, wrote
THE older physicians grow, tbs
more skeptical they become of the
virtues of medicine, and the more
they are disposed to trust to the
powers of Nature.
One constantly hears nowaday:
from the leading doctors OF oul
big cities and from teachers in the
foremost medical colleges of the
land such admissions as these:
II give no drugs now in most Of
my cases.
81 can count all the drugs 1 ever
use on my FIVE fingers. +"
you know, l don't really be-
lieve in drugging," etc.
What does this skepticism NEAR
on the part of physicians Surely
it cannot be taken as vote of con
fidence in the power of drugs to
cure disease.
Admissions like these by the
most eminent men of medicine
should be full assurance to invalids
that they need not hesitate tc
abandon drug treatment in order
TO try the benefits of Osteopathy.
If the Oldest and wisest of physi'
clans have so little confidence in
drugs what can patients have tc
risk or lose by quitting such treat
ment.

ADJOURNS
WOMEN CLOSE A MOST INTEREST.
ING AND PROFITABLE SESSION
AT LAYTON
MEETS IN ENID NEXT YEAR
Affecting Scene at Closing Session
Ladies Had Enjoyable Trip to
Fort Sill

Lawton. Okla. Oct. Io.-The
Federation Of Woman's Clubs
adjourned last night after one OF
the most interesting sessions in its
history. The closing session was
marked by most affecting scene
when after a motion by Mrs. N.
NJ. Carter Of Guthrie. to place the
retiring president Mrs. Angelo c.
Scott upon the honorary list, this
much loved officer came forward
and asked for the withdrawal OF
the motion, not from lack of ap-
probation Of the honor shown, but
from a belief that it was establish.
ing a wrong precedent. Her words
of appeal brought tears to the eyes
of the assembled audience at this
additional proof of the exaulted
ideas of justice and udselhshness
which have marked the entire term
of Office OF Mrs. Scott.
Owing to the large addition &c
the Federation membership each
year it was also decided that in the
future delegates or the club send
ing them will pay tseir own ex'
pense, thus relieving the towns en-
tertaining future meetings from
what was becoming an excessivs
AK upon the club women.
Mrs. English, president Of the
Enid City Federation in an enthusi'
astic little talk invited the Fedora
ton to meet in that city in 1906,
presenting also the invitation Of the
mayor, city council. and CONNER
cial club Of that thriving city. The
invitation was accepted.
The afternoons excursion to the
Comanche Indian School, the re
ception at Fort Sill by the ladies
of the army circle, the tr p to Ned
icine Bluff and the Apache village
were all productive of pleasure
The final evening at the opers
house was the most enjoyable meet
ing OF the session. The program
in its self a fine one, was under the
leadership of Mrs. c. H. Filson Of
Guthrie Of the Literature COMMITTEES
and contained a fine paper on
Poetry, by Mrs. Caroline Ball, ol
Oklahoma, a lecture on Optimism
by Rev. w. Z. Graham, Of the
same place and the annual addres:
of Mrs. Scott, besides musical
program by Mrs. catron of Ponca,
Mrs. Robinson Of Tulsa and Mrs,
Smock of Newkirk who had already
proved to be especial favorites oI
the convention.
Mrs Calki Of Ponca gave the
report Of the committee on reso u
tions, after which Mrs. SCOTT intro.
duced the new pesideut, Mrs.
Threadgill and the remainder oi
new board, thus closing the ses'
sion.

SOURCE or TORTOISE SHELL.
Our Consul at Colon Reports on the
Extent cf fhe Industry


Extent of the Industry.
While there are immense quantities
OF tortoise shell used annually in CIV
llization there is not much generally
known about the real methods of gath
ering it. A large amount of it comes
esting report on the industry has re-
Gently been made by Consul Kellogg
of Colon.
He says that last year the total
amount of shell shipped from his
consular district was 10000 pounds
and that of this 5000 pounds, valued
at $4,000, came from Colon direct,
5000 pounds of it going to New York
and the rest to Europe. The hawks
bill turtle, from which the shell is OBJ
tanned, feeds on crabs, fish and the
like and it's meat is not valued as is
that of the herbivorous turtles. The
turtles run from 1 IL feet to feet
long and weigh as much as $50 pounds.
The average weight Of the shell is g
to Z pounds and the price it brings is
from 8 to Sc a pound, the market
fiuctuating. Some of the shell is sent
to Colon, but much of it is traded by
the Indians to coasting schooners and
shipped to New York.
The civilized method of preparing
the shell is to kill and clean the turtle
after it is caught either on the beach
or in nets in the water. The Indians
do not kill them at once, but boil them
alive and then throw them back into
the sea. This is hard on the turtle,
but it is said to make the shell come
off easily

BODY REMOVED FROM WRECK
That Of Fireman johnson Taken From
Wreck Mix.up Was Terribly Cut
and Crushed Beneath Coal

The body of fireman Johnson, killed
In the wreck near Crookston Thursday
was removed from the wreck last night
at six o'clock. 1t was almost un-
recognizable, and was found buried
beneath the coal. An inquest is be-
ing held over the body this afternoon.
Last evening at about five o'clock
Brakeman Carey died from his injuries.
Carey was rescued from the wreck by
fellow employees and brought to
Crookston. where his leg was ampu-
tated. The loss of blood, however, re-
suited in his death.
Johnson's death must have been ter
rible, for he was caught in the escap-
ing steam, and then buried beneath
the tons Of iron wreckage.
Carey was also caught under the
wreck. He was badly scalded, bruised,
frozen and had lost much blood when
rescued. The intense cold made the
work hard, and A. A. Fletcher, a brake
man, walked to Crookston through the
binding storm to tell of the wreck.
Engineer Arnold of the west bound
freight says that he was not aware of
the trouble until the other engine
crashed into them.
