AN EXPERIMENT. 
“Is fcbere a fatality among our business 
men” is a question that we often ask. It is a 
question that perplexes our leading medical 
men, and they areata loss to know how to 
answer it. 
We sometimes think that if the physicians 
would give part ot the energy to the consider¬ 
ation of this question that they give to com¬ 
bating other schools of practice, it might be 
satisfactorily answered. 
The fights ol’ “isms” reminds us often of the 
quarrels of old Indian tribes, that were only 
happy when they were annihilating each 
other. 
If Allopathy makes a discovery that prom¬ 
ises good to the race. Hoinoepathy derides it 
and breaks down its influence, if Homcepa- 
thy makes a discovery that promises to be a 
boon to the race, Allopathy attacks it. 
It is absurd that these schools should fauey 
that allot’ good is in their methods and none 
in any other. 
Fortunately for the people, the merit which 
these “isms” will not recognize, is recognized 
by the public, and this public recognition, tak¬ 
ing the form of a demand upon the medical 
profession eventually compels it to recognize 
ALICE R. PODGE 
( Continued ,.) 
Taking the papers from the parsels she kin¬ 
dled a tire in the stove and her simple meal 
was soon prepared and eaten, and then she sat 
down to think, for an idea hail occured to 
her as she listened to the talk of the man on 
the car. and she had waited for the quiet of 
her room to reflect upon it. Why might she 
not do housework? Here was this man who 
could find no one to help in his house, and 
here was she working long hours for hardly 
more than enough to keep soul and body to¬ 
gether, returning to this attic room as her 
only home. And she knew the difference for 
the remembrance of a comfortable home 
when her parents were both alive often arose 
in contrast to her present lonely life. But to 
take a servant's place! True she was only a 
servant now in the factory and yet when her 
work was over for the day her time was her 
own, but of very little value because of her 
excessive weariness. And i’ was getting 
worse all the time. Assbe recalled the kindly 
face of the mau who would not give his wife 
anxiety she felt he would not be a hard mas¬ 
ter whatever the mistress might be. And so 
she sat for an hour, trying to thiuk reasona¬ 
bly and to see all sides of the question which 
had arisen in her mind. At length she arose 
and took the old atlas which had done duty as 
a portfolio since her schooldays so suddenly 
ended by the accident which deprived her of 
her father, and began to write. And this is 
what she said. 
“Mrs. A. S. Barden:— lama stranger to 
you, but hope you will not think me very 
bold to write this letter. This afternoon as I 
was in the street car I saw a man who I sup¬ 
pose is your husband, and he was telling the 
man with him that he could not get any one 
to do the work in bis house because there was 
no Catholic Church uear, aud the American 
girls would not do housework. I am an 
American aud have never done such work, 
but am working in a shirt factory. It used 
to be good paying work, but is quite different 
now, so that I am all discouraged, aud so I 
want to try something else, aud if you will 
take me I think I can learn to do work in the 
house. I don't know much more than to 
sweep aud wash dishes and make beds, but I 
am sure I cau leam, and I would not expect 
to be paid much until I could be of some use, 
and I will do my best to please you.” 
Signing her name aud giviog her street aud 
number she addressed an envelope according 
to the name on the valise aud then set about 
her weekly work of repairing her elothiug 
now so threadbare as to be hardly worth the 
labor. Sunday morning she awoke with a 
half fear and half hope as to the new project, 
bnt on her way to the little chapel dropped her 
letter in a street box with a mental resolve to 
wait aud not woi’ry. 
Out in liiverport a weary looking woman 
held one child at the window to see the father 
return, while another stood beside her for the 
same purpose. Soon he came in with hearty 
greeting for the mother aud children, and 
emptying pockets of their contents, hands the 
wife a letter with the query, “Who writes to 
you from New r York Mary? Here is a letter 
in a new hand writing.” With the usual long 
look at the outside instead of referring to the 
letter itself, the recipient at length opened 
and read Emma Horton’s letter aloud to her 
husband. 
“Now 1 wonder," was his comment, “if that 
w r as the sad-lookiug girl I observed in the ear, 
but she seemed not to notice anything or any¬ 
body, so I dare say it was not. I saw her 
when I first took the ear, but I was so fretted 
at the delay 1 took no notice after-that.” 
“What do you think of her letter?” said 
Mrs, Barden. Would you dare try an utter 
stranger in such a way?” 
“I don’t kuow,” was the reply. “We can’t 
do much worse than we have done, aud I 
really don’t see how you can get through the 
winter alone.” 
8o, after a night to “dream over it,” as they 
said, a letter was sent to New York telling 
her to come, and Mr. B. would meet her at the 
station—a small one where few strangers 
came in winter, and there would be little 
difficult}" in recognizing her.

Is it possible that the question has been 
answered by shrewd business men? A prom¬ 
inent man once said to an inquirer, who asked 
him how he got rich. “I got rich because I 
did things while other people were thinking 
about doing them.” It seems to us that the 
public have recognized what this fatality is, 
and how it can he met, while the medical pro¬ 
fession have been wrangling about it. 
By a careful examination of insurance re¬ 
ports we find that there has been a sharp re¬ 
form with reference to examinations, (and 
that no mau cau now get any amount of in¬ 
surance who has the least development of kid¬ 
ney disorder.) because they find that 60 out of 
every 100 in this country do, either directly or 
indirectly, sulTer from kidney disease. Hence, 
no reliable company will insure a man except 
after a rigid urinary examination. 
This reminds us of a little iustance which 
occurred a short time ago. A fellow editor 
was an applicant for a respectable amount of 
insurance. He was rejected 011 examination, 
because, unknown to himself, his kidneys 
were diseased. The shrewd agent, however, 
did not give up the case. He had au eye to 
business aud to his commission, and said: 
“don’t you worry: you get a ball' dozen bot¬ 
tles of Warner’s sate cure, take it according to 
directions anil in about a month come around, 
aud we will have another examination. I 
know you will find yourself all right and will 
get your policy.” 
The editor expressed surprise at the agent’s 
faith, but the latter replied: “This point is a 
a valuable one. Very many insurance agents 
all over the country, when they lind u cus¬ 
tomer rejected for Ibis cause, give similar ad¬ 
vice, aud eventually he gets the insurance.” 
What are we to infer from such circum¬ 
stances? Have shrewd insurance men, ns well 
as other shrewd businessmen, found the secret 
answer to the inquiry ? Is it possible that our 
columns have been proclaiming, in the form 
of advertisements, what has proved a blessing 
in disguise to mi lions, and yet by many 
ignored as an advertisement? 
In our files we find thousands of stroug 
testimonials for Warner’s sate cure, no two 
alike, which could not exist except upon a 
basis of truth; indeed, they are published un¬ 
der a guarantee of 95.000 to any one who will 
disprove their correctness, and this offer has 
been standing, we are told, for more than 
four years. 
Undoubtedly this article, which is simply 
dealing out justice, will be considered as an 
advertisement and be rejected by many as such. 
We have not space nor time to discuss the 
proposition t hat a poor thing could not succeed 
to the extent that this gx-eat remedy has suc¬ 
ceeded, could not become so popular without 
merit even if pushed by a Vanderbilt or an 
Astor. 
Bence we take the liberty of telling our 
friends that, it is a duty that they owe to them¬ 
selves to investigate the matter and reflect 
carefully, for the statements published are 
subject to the refutation of the entire world. 
None have refuted them; On the contrary 
hundreds of thousands have believed them 
and proved them true, aud iu believing have 
found the highest measure of satisfaction, 
that which money cannot buy, and money can¬ 
not take away.
