Would Annex Canada

Editor The Washington Herald:
Regarding the relations between Can
ada and the United States, l would Ike
to call attention to the word of prophecy.
The prophets make distinction between
the house Of Israel and the rest of the
world. The house" became a valley Of
dry bones, but the people OF the house
OF Israel are more numerous to-day than
they ever were before The American
Revolution made a breach OF the peo-
pie" and the binding up of it Is TO
come from Canada.
The London Standard confidently af-
firms that In Englands crowded Islands
there exists a profound and steadily
deepening desire for the establishment
OF an economic political union within
the empire, which should provide for
/ both independence and inter-dependence
OF the individual States. Those inspired
/ by that hope perceived In the Dominion
alike in her history, her achievement and
| the splendOr of her dower-the predestined
leader among the self-governing States.
The above quotation, breach of his
people" is taken from Isaiah xxx:26.
moreover. the light Of the moon shall
be as the light OF the sun. and the light
Of the sun sbal! be seven-fold, as the
/ light Of seven days, in the day that the
Lord bindeth up the breach OF his peO-
pie, and heaIeth the stroke Of their
wound"

"Senseless Science. "
dItor % Washlngton Hsrald :

Editor The Washington Herald:
In the light OF the publicity that has
been given the medical profession and its
work recently in the various magazines
and periodicals, some Of the statements
Of Mr.. Harry b. Bradford, under the cap
ton "Senseless Science" in The Wash
ington Herald of October T. are so re-
Taarkable that they deserve a few passing
observations as to the truth expressed in
them
The article shows a lack Of appreciation
of the whole conception Of the field Of
medical practice, the aim Of which has
always been to aid nature in natures
own way when, due to a multiplicity of
causes, the bodily functions have become
perverted or are lost
First-The statement that the digestive
apparatus was never made to receive any
thing but food is merely an unsupported
statement of the writer's belief and can
be given no weight And even if true. II
is entirely foreign 10 the discussion. The
head was never intended for a hat, nor
the feet for shoes, yet venture to assert
that the author Of "Senseless Science"
wears both.
SecOnd-The physician knows that GER
tain toxins or certain perversions Of the
normal bodily functions always produce
certain manifestations. The exact amount
of these toxins or the exact degree of
these perversions does not materially
affect the question. The condition of the
patient is a sufficiently reliable index
Third-The statement that mo drug has
the slightest power to heal, to build UP a
particle of bodily structure, or remove the
causes Of disease, is absurd It is, how
ever, true that there is a limit to the ef-
ficacy of drugs that in a way enhances
the value of the drug by putting the ply
sieian on his guard.
FOurth-The previous habits of the pa
tent are not essentially concerned with
the condition which leads the patient to
consult the physician. They might aid
the physician in making the diagnosis,
but the question that Mr.. Bradford is
discussing is not diagnosis, but drug
medication" But Of vastly greater mo-
ment even in the diagnosis are the mani
festations present at the time and which
serve as the physicians guide
Fifth-The fact that drugs are some
enter into the consideration in the least.
The most remarkable statement, how
ever, is made under section 6: What
think you viii an acid do in the stomach
which will ruin the teeth?' II is an
established fact Caught. by the way, in
every up-to-date grammar school that
il is the function of a part of the cells
In the stomach wall TO secrete hydro
chloric acid in considerable amounts and
in the absence of which the stomach can
not do its work and the engines and
ferment which break up the food into
substances that can be absorbed are alb
solutely inert. II Is this acid that is most
frequently given in medicine and which
is 'piped into the throat" to prevent in
jury to the teeth. Still, this same acid
which is so essential to digestion, and
which is always present in the normal

Medicine and Its Advocates.

Editor The Washington Herald:
We are reminded by the medical pro-
fessiOn Of the steady advance in medi-
cine beginning with and since the Hip
pocratian- period and one Of its advocates
perforated recent article, entitled ''Medi-
cal science and practice" by saying that
medicine is mans richest legacy from
the hand Of time, the fairest star that
glitters in the diadem of science"
To an unbiased mind. however, it is
self-convincing that this scintfIlating, or
vacillating, scientific star has been more
or less obscured and shattered by the
practical demonstrations Of the non
medicinal cults. TO say nothing Of the
contrariety OF opinions existing among
the learned members OF the profession it
self, whose advocates in innumerable in
stances are still diametrically opposed to
each other both in theory and practice
Only lately we have read In. the public
prints of the differences Of opinion ex-
isting among the professional dlagnos-
ticians as to the real cause bf the serious
indisposition Of the ex-President Of our
country. Such diagnostic differences.
however. are a matter Of record with
all discerning minds.
AS nonprofessional man, my per
sonal opinions must, OF necessity, be both
limited and restricted 1t is TO be In
ferred, therefore, that in ones search
for facts 1t is more acceptable 10 the
medical profession and the public 10 quote
the opinions of their own scientific au-
thorities We have been told through the
columns OF The Washington Herald bv
an able and erudite pro-medlcal man that
the science of medicine comprises the
branches Of chemistry, embryology, anat-
omy. physiology, and other Dlogies, total
ing twenty In all. Admittedly so. Last
spring. at the meeting in Chicago of the
section on medical education of the
American Medical Association, the follow
Ing comments were made;
The statement OF one member to the
effect that 5000 Of the 1000 physicians an
nually graduated are entirely unit to
practice medicine ELECTED no word, sign,

by DR.. W. T. Means: The average man
