GOOD CHEER AND MEDICINE.

The Chicago Inter Ocean believes
that If the physicians Of the country
would mix a little good cheer with
their prescriptions the result would
be beneficial, and 1t drops this hint to
the doctors attending Che convention
of the American Medical association
now on in Chicago:
The physicians of the world to a
greater degree than any other class
of men, than any other profession -
to greater degree even than the
clergymen Of the world have the
happiness Of humanity at their dis.
posal. They are dispensers of hope
and despair. They may brighten the
eyes of their fellow beings with glad.
ness or dim them with tears. They
have it in their hands to brighten or
to assure the timid, to speak the
word which sends the blood Of the in.
valid back to an already aching heart
or to cause It to circulate merrily
through the veins.
The custom Of ages has given ply.
sloians in many cases, the power to
smile the sick back to health or to
sigh them into the grave. It Is their
privilege, by reason Of decree of
the centuries, to bring hope to the af.
flicted or to take 1t away. The word
of encouragement from the capable
family doctor has restored strength
to many wearied invalid, while the
respondent glance of the incapable
has chilled many a heart that was
making a brave and perhaps a win.
ming fight.
If the thousands of physicians visit
Ing Chicago today shall decide in con
vention assembled, or tacitfy among
themselves as individuals to make
cheer one OF their leading prescrip
lions hereafter, and to carry 1t with
them in large doses to every bedside
the healing Of the nations will not be
accomplished, of course, but they will
have taken long step in the right
direction.
For what this old world needs more
than anything else is that it shall be
less fearful and more confident, less
gloomy and more hopeful, less sad
and more joyous. What it needs more
than anything else is to cheer up and
look pleasant And there is no other
class OF men under the sun that can
do more toward bringing about these
better conditions than the class that
is 30 splendidly represented at the
convention of the American Medical
association.

BRYAN,s BUSINESS HEAD.


Mr.. Bryan in the past has found
solace in his defeats through the in
creased revenues derived from his
newspaper, the Commoner, and from
the lecture platform. And he evident
ly realizes that his popularity has a
greater cash value than ever as the
Democratic convention approaches. for
here Is circular letter issued to adj
vertisers by the business manager of
Mr.. Bryan's paper which was printed
in the New York Times recently:
Inclose you our million circulation
circular Mr.. Bryan seems to be very
optimistic regarding reaching that
point before the year is over, and the
stack Of letters |. saw coming in to
the Lincoln office on my last VISIT
there short while ago indicates it
will reach the mark There is not
better medium today pro rata cost,
to carry your business in than the
Commoner. It Is one Of the papers not
affected by the new postoff1ce ruling.
I believe. however, it is not nee,
essary to explain any further to you
regarding the matter, as you fully un-
derstand conditions that will make the
Commoner potent force this year for
advertisers. It will be a good stroke
Of policy for you to get in, and get
in at once, or else in. short time you
will get up against higher rates.
So whether Mr.. Bryan meets de-
feat at the polls in November or not
his nomination will serve its purpose.
1t will. as the business manager
points out, boost the circulation Of
the Commoner to the million mark.
and at the prevailing rate of adver-
Using this should aid in comforting
Mr. Bryan for his past and future de-
feats.
