NEW YORK, April 1e.-Private messages
received in this city today from business
interests in the territory affected by the
earthquake in Mexico show that these in
terests suffered no damage at La Dicha,
in the state of Guerrero, during the earth
quake Of last Monday.
Extensive business interests in which
Americans are concerned and employed at
Marques, on the Pacific, although only
about twelve miles from Acalpuco escaped
damage As there was no loss OF life at
La Dicha or Marques the alarm felt as to
the safety OF American mining engineers
employed in that district is apparently
unwarranted.

DR. j. n. Mccormack, chairman Of the
organization committee OF the American
Medical association ard secretary OF the
State Board Of Health Of Kentucky, told
a Council Bluffs audience which filled the
auditorium Of the public library building
about Things About Doctors Which Doc
tors and other People ought to Know"
There were many women In the audience
and the medical profession was largely
represented. Congressman Walter l. Smith
presided and introducing the speaker Of
the evening, briefly told Of the work that
Or. Mccormack was accomplishing
throughout the country
DR.. Mccormack takes the position that
one-third Of the sickness and deaths from
same could be prevented II there was a
better care for the public health and If
the public at large was educated to bet
ter sanitary conditions, He spoke at length
in the interest Of pure food and pure drugs
and made a vigorous attack on patent
medicines.
In opening DR.. Mccormack referred to
the fact that to the lay mind medicine
has long been one OF the occult sciences
II was the object OF his address, as far
as possible, he said TO lift this veil. Con-
tinulng, he told the work Of the Ameri-
can Medical association and Of the results
OF his own investigation Of medical con-
ditions in this country and abroad.
Praise for Country Doctor.
Speaking more directly Of the medical
profession, DIR. Mccormack said:
