NEW YORK, May 10.-Speaking be.
fore an audience composed largely Of

Ingles, the distinguished surgeon,
laid particular stress upon the import
Rnce Of keeping the blood in healthy

calomel, sarsaparilla and similar con.
coctions, which not only thin the
blood, bat cause it to become "wat-
cry" and unhealthy, thus exposing
themselves to the ravagGS cG any dis
ease which may beset them, and at the
same time weakening and undermin-
ing their entire system. He said in
part:
Every few people are cognizant OF
the importance Of keeping the blood in

prophylnxis against disc 'se. and it I:
the duty Of the medical profession to
instruct tho public in this prime cS

there are members Of ou' profession
who, for the 1--we Of the almighty dol.

Please don't wait for an answer to write to me for my letter might get lost or one of your letters might get lost and if there Is any thing in the world that makes a fellow feel bad ij is to listen to the mail called out to the last letter and none for him, so write often.
 Of course 1 will not be able to write long letters all the time but Ill do my best.
