The visiting physicians sat down at
a sumptuous spread at the Pacific ho-
tel. Secretary Peters of Stanton acted
as toast master in felicitious manner
and called upon the following, who re-
sponded to the subjects given them:
To outrank State Society.
DR.. Ford of Omaha spoke in strong
praise of the eleventh annual meet of
the Elllhorn Valley Medical society.
1t was destined in practical value to
outrank the state society.
DR.. Fanchere of Sioux City gave an
entertaining and instructive talk on
the specialist in medicine and received
generous applause.
DR.. Beattie of Neigh responded to
the general practitioner" in terse
and entertaining vein.
Or. Pheasant, who is bubbling over
with the happiness of recent wedlock
spoke with great enthusiasm on the
physician as family man.
DR.. Wigglesworth of Hooper, with
much self depreciation, spoke of com
petition and the scorn of trust methods
among the profession.
DR.. Henry of Omaha had for his sub
ject the medical colleges and gave an
interesting discourse on subject with
which he is very familiar.
DR.. Rhoden of Fremont gave an ear
nest and serious talk on the duties of
the physician as citizen.
George B. Christoph of Norfolk, a
member of the state board of phar
macy, contributed to the topic, "the
doctor an easy mark" the information
that substitution and adulteration in
prescription filling were never in
dulged in by reputable druggists and
that the latter held to as high a stan
dard of professional honor as the doc
tors and substitution was impossible
because doctors are not easy marks.
J. Earle Harper spoke briefly on the
relation the druggist bears to the doc
tor.
Happiness Depends on Self.
DR. Mackay responded to "a talk
for others today" He prefaced his
remarks regarding the work of phys-
clans for others by calling attention to
the small need the doctor had person
ally for study or medicine, in the fol-
lowing well chosen words:
"The committee on ecrology has re-
ported that out of a membership of
$50 in this society there has been no
death during the past year. AS one
looks over this assemblage it becomes
evident from the glow of health that
nantes the cheeks, and the cheerful
ness of spirit that prevails, that we
have little use for our medicine. Ra-
Their would one think that we were mil
lionaires with leisure and an assured
income instead of hard working men
exposed to danger and the vicissitude
of accident and disease with sorrow,
sickness and death for an environment.
The physician illustrates the supreme
triumph of man over environment and
proves that the kingdom Of heaven is
within us, that out of the alchemy Of
our own hearts we make the elixir OF
human happiness. From the self same
flower from which the bee obtains hon
ey, the wasp extracts only poison for
it's sting, SO it Is all in the method of
mechanism whether we derive from
life a rich reward"
