Editor O: The Intellinger. Dear Sir:
That one extreme IL likely TO follow
another in the affairs OF the world IS
OF common observation. over st!rnu-
iation brings its corresponding de-
preston. and the reaction from ex-
IRENE depress!ons Is likely 10 ascend
10 extreme stin ulation. In medicine
and surgery THIS reaction from ex.
IRENE depression naturally tends 70
the other extreme which we term in
tamation. The competent and publ
e;ous physician. knowing this ten
cency, applies means and methods for
duly restraining this reaction from go-
Ing 20 the extreme point OF innama-
lion. and surely in1uring. or maybe
killing his patient. Thus We might

and the affairs OF men noting the
thousands OF ways, the operations o:

could and would have procluded the
possibility OF certain unfortunate re-
suits. No reasonably well-balancec
man can coolly and deliberately take
a retrospective view down the COURSE
OF his life and fail 20 observe and

extremes he fcll into aloag his path
