doubtedly have developed into nation

particularly successful as a warrior.

Report Against DR.. Palmer.

The Board of Secretaries of the state
Board of Health has recommended to the
State Board of Health proper the revoca-
ton of the certificate of DR.. d. S. Palmer
to practice medicine in Nebraska. DR.
W. T. johnson dissented from the opinion
of the secretaries and will file a reason
with the State board. DIR. Palmer was
charged with having performed an illegal
operation upon Hattie f. Seagren At
Holdrege, and several days were occupied
in taking testimony. In dissenting, Dr.
Johnson says the evidence is not sufti-
cient to establish that an operation had
ever been performed. Furthermore, he
says, out of ifty-seven births reported In
Holdrege for a certain period of time. Dr.
Palmer officiated at eighteen, which, ne
said. proves he is respected man and
the people of Holdrege have confidence
In him, with the possible exception of
