troll Of the coal mines sometime ago
in Colorado, the price wa, raised

Someone has sent me marked
copy Of the Progr,Ssirc Chicago
Ihi"l'er, a weekly journal devoted
to Spiritualism and Free Thought
which contains an article headed
1t Need Not Bc-Thcrc is No Ne
ccssity for lit Is Time to Call ;
Halt en- the Voracious Surgeon.
The article in question is signct
Daniel W. Hull, NJ. H., Olympia
/ Wash
Why the marked copy was sent m,
| do not know; neither do | care
Butt am afraid if physicians ant
! surgeons read the article signed b,
/ Mr.. Hull, NJ. H., they would no.
+ strain themselves to answer a mid
night call sent in by him, should h,
be attacked with bellyache. How
ever, as Mr.. Hull is a "hcaler' as h,
declares in the article in PfogresS;r.
Th'"krr, it would hardly be probabl,
that he would ring" for madica
doctor, as he is a believer in mag
netism. Daniel has no use for sur
gcOns whatever; no, sir; not any
thank you. To quote Daniels owl
words, as regards surgeons anC
operations, he says: And now W,
have surgeons, who actually advis,
the removal of the entire colon. Oh,
ers have tried the removal of the
stomach. and though the patients
failed to rally" or had " weakness
OF the heart or some other malady
their operation was successful anC
beautifully performed " Soon W,
may note the removal of the csopha
gus, which will be replaced by a piece
of rubber hose, and " successfully at
tached to the pylorus of the duode
mum, the stomach having been re
moved in a previous operation. II
is now actually proposed to no long
er wait for disease to attack any oI
these several organs, but to "oper-
ate on an infant as soon rs born, and
remove some or all these several or.
gans. Just as | was coming to this
point of this article, came across
the following screed in local paper,
which was so apropos, cut it out:
This is all the doctors propose to
do to the infant of the future to i'm
prove him after nature has done the
best it could:
Snip off the appendix.
Cut out the big intestine.
-" Remove the stomach.
Clip out the tonsils.
." After it is all over, if they put
what is removed in one place and
what is left in another, it may be
hard to tell from the size which is
which ?"
Daniel has 4 whole lot more to say
along the same line, SIS have quoted
as regards modern surgeons and the
success of their operations. How
ever, if you would read this entire
article, procure copy of the Pro-
gresstre WinL'er, issue of Dec. 25th,
1909. published at JOG Loomis street.
Chicago.
| hope Olympia surgeons and ply
sicians will not attempt to mob Dan
iel for telling what a great many in
dividuals swear is the truth, nothing
