by saying that he spoiled his clothes SO as to be
able to say that he had performed the feat, re-

Boduc. monk. who, according to Paris con-
temporary. says the Army and Navy Journal
made his polar voyage In 1865. This Is the pole
as described by this Bolduc:
AT the pole one finds the place where all the
waves Of the sea concentrate to disappear in the
same whirlpool. Four great islands surround this
precipice. separated by four great canals sue.

drop their prejudices and form new
system of treatment, which should
embrace all the efforts Of these world
famous specialists, of the various
school, was the wonderful treatment
now being used by the United Doc
tors. All of this was not accom-
plished in a day or two, but has taken
years of patient work by these spe-
cialists in their great institutions in
the east; Homeopathic, Eclectics, All
opaths, all working side by side, each
throwing away his old ideas when he
was convinced there was something
better, until at last out of the old
chaos and confusion, came the new
and perfect system, as It is now used
by the United Doctors,
The cost Of these specialists was
great not only in the labor OF form
ing the new system of treatment, but
also in the effort it cost them to ig-
more their prejudice in favor OF the
various schools In which they we're
originally educated. But their rec
