EcIecIc PhysIcIan Declares InhabI-
tants VIII Die of Thirst.
That Mother Earth would ultimately
dry up, leaving the inhabitants Of this
" orld to perish from thirst. was asserted
last night by DR.. J. A. Munk. OF Los
Angeles, Cal, in an address before the
National Electric Medical Association. at
the shoreham. DR.. Munk spoke on eli
mstology.''
Astronomical observations Of other
planets, and careful studies OF conditions
on our own globe" he said, lead to
the conclusion that as sure as fate this
world, in the course Of time, will dry
up, and that the inhabitants will perish
from thirst. That day is far remote, but
II is coming"
In the course OF his address DR.. Munk
said that dry atmospheres are much more
healthy than humid ones.
''Eclecticism's Greatest Need" was the
subject of an address by DR.. r. l.
Thomas, Of Cincinnati, Ohio. Dr..
Thomas said that the greatest need was
the endowment OF the institutions at
which eclecticism is taught. He pointed
out that n movement was on foot to
discriminate against all medical schools
which are not properly endowed. He
suggested that every member of the
association contribute annually toward
the endowment Of the schools of
eclecticism.
