American fees are not worse than
English. A city specialist charges
from So to $40 for an office visit and
asks about $3.50 for half a day trip
out of town. A day or two spent away
from the Office is worth between $500
and $1,000 There was railroad own
er who hired an obstetrical specialist to
remain with his daughter during a
critical period which lasted for two
months. The service was successfully
performed and it was well worth a fee
of $1,000, being at the rate of 800 a
day and a bonus of $1,000.
An ordinary man with fractured
might pay trfing fee, but when a
rich polo player had his broken finger
attended by an eminent New York sur
geon it cost him $1,000. The finger was
worth that in polo playing for that par
ticular polo player. Again, there was
a person of means who had an appen-
dix removed from the left side and paid
$4,000 for the job. He was perhaps
thankful that the appendix was not on
some other side. Laparotomy, which is
a more unpleasant operation than it
sounds, was executed on the wife of
wealthy Bostonian, and the grateful
husband guessed about right when he
sent check for $4,000 to the surgeon.
| Some bills are necessarily rendered to
the estates of the deceased person. In
one such case $4,000 was Melted by a
physician for week S final services. A
F, week still better paid was that of a
family physician "who attended a

Armour.
The average yearly income of the
100000 medical practitioners in the
United States is said to be $3.50. If
the exceptionally big fees were ex,

amount to that of the low paid clergy

OF slow growth. % People believe
in things that they see, and IN
broad sense they are right. What
is sometimes called blind faith IS
not faith at all. There must be
reason and fact to form a foun-
dation for trust. In regard to a
medicine or remedy, for example,
people ask, Has it cured 9th

relieved by it? Is it in harmony
with the truths of modern science,

responsible for this new alliance of

antitoxin for use in diphtheria eases

:" AS soon as a physician reports case

policeman will take it to the city

A basketball tournament TO bring

very near to being in a class with the
other two mentioned and which pos

that neither of the big teams have
much OF anything on them.
II Is set forward by Grogan that
there are at least a half-doZen teams
with big followings, which would be
eligible entries In such a competition.
Aside from the Spaldings, who
would enter such an affair beyond
question, there are the Chicago Pneu-

more who would be eligible to en-

JENNINGS COMES

TRIES TO HELP DETROIT PITCH.
Err WHO WANTS TO GET LOOSE
FROM FLINT.HEARTED CLUB IN
THE THREE I. LEAGUE.

With that courtesy and big-hearted
consideration for others which, off the
baseball field is always one of Hughie
Jennings most marked characteristics,
the manager OF the Tigers has concern
ed himself in the affairs OF Stewart
Guerney, the Detroit boy who last year
pitched and won IL games out OF 80
for the second-divisiOn Dubuque club
Of the Three ! league.
In spite OF his good work OF last
year, Guerney was asked to sign for
1909 at what seemed virtually a mere
pittance. He asked the advice OF
State Representative John c. Lodge,
who has been for some time sort
OF chaperon OF the younger conting-
ent OF Detroit's professional baseball
players. and Lodge wrote TO Jennings
A prompt reply came. Here it is:
MI John c. Lodge. Lansing, Mich.
Friend John--Your letter re-
ceived. with one enclosed from
Guerney, and have turned the lat
ter over to Coughlin.
I don't know whether anything
can be done in the matter of Sc
curing his release from Dubuque,
but il he were free | am sure
CoLghlin would be glad TO sign
him. You can have him write TO
Coughlin, No. 3l5 Gibson-ave.,

the securing OF his release.

A unique feature of the whole affair
Is the fact that the manager Of tho
Dubuque club, from which Guerney is
so anxious TO get loose is also a De-
troiter being Forrest Plass, the one
time mascot OF the Tigers.
