Unable to stand the strain, he

Fine weather! Gosh. It's simply grand,

IL makes n fellcr understand

Il makes you stretch your narrow

Fine weather, Gosh. the sky Ia fair.

So. let the sun dissolve your Crouch.
And smile. and Keep on smiling.

Mexico Medical society will be held
in Albuquerque next Friday and Sat

tors from all over the state is expect
ed, together with a number of we'll

eral meeting will be called to order

Albuquerque, at 1890, at which the
president will deliver his annual ad-
dress. The medicos will hold their
annual banquet on Friday night, and
on saturday night a smoker will be
held at the Elks club
The interesting part of the meeting,
to the general public at least. will be
the clinics. Any person in need of an
operation of any kind can have it done
during the state medical meeting alb
solutely free of charge, All that is
necessary is for the patient to make
arrangements with his physician to
be operated on at one of the clinics,
and instead of a bill he will receive
the thanks of the society Needless
to say the operation will be per-
formed with just as much care as if
the doctors were expecting to receive
the latest kind of q fee.
