THE ROMANCE OF MEDICINE.

Tho Lure Of High Interest.

"A warning Is given In the Worlds
Work to prospective investors to be-

The writer SAYS:

insignia was a figure of a fool, en-.

a grand conclave at Cleves every year.
lasting an entire week. At these an
nual meetings he business OF the or
ganization was transacted, and plans
laid for future work. But business did
not absorb the entire attention of the
members. Between sessions they had
a general good time. All distinctions
of rank were laid aside for the timo
being. and perfect equality reigned.
The organization was kept up till well
on into the 10th century. but the orig
inal objects were gradually lost sight
of. and the order became extinct.
