full of different cults and "isms" in
medicine. We had the old root and
herb doctor, with his bitter potfons;
allopath, with his pills, quinine and
calomel in heroic doses; the homeo-

All this was not accomplished in a
day or month, but has taken years
Of patient work by these specialists
In their numerous Institutes through
out the country. The cost Of these
specialists was great, not only in Ia
Dor Of forming the new system Of
but also in the effort 1t
cost them to ignore their pride in the
various schools in which they were
educated. But their reward
has been great, for they have seen
