"The company pulled twenty-three

graphlo advertising novelty house of
Washington, D. C, when In Omaha.
"How do yon account for your Increase
In sales when the company ronaldera
business so bad as to call off twenty
three salesmen?" he was asked.
"I travel through thla middle west" he
replied, "and there Is Just no use talking,
this Is the garden spot I rcattxe It and
I am sticking to this territory. There Is
always bunluess here In Nebraska, Iowa,
Missouri, Minnesota, and these agricul

Illness of two days.

Dog and Cat Cause
of Neighborhood Row
Mrs. nichsrd Tlsard, ZlO North Twenty
third street, owns a cat, and W. J. Irvine,
204 North Twenty-third oini a dog. The
dog Is especially fond of Mrs. T sard'fl
cat. but the feline la In the habit of re
pulsing the attentions of the canine. The
two pets' arguments for weeks have fur
wished fun for the neighbors, but tiatur
day morning Mra Tixard had Irving ar
rested for owning a vicious dog.
In police court Judge Foster dismissed
the case.
Thomas II. Matters' case waa taken up
before Federal Judge Paige Morris !
when ex-Senator Burke tt and W. J. Con
nell. representing Mr. Matters, offered
a motion of abatement In an effort to I
j quash the Indictment. j
J Connell for the defense asserted that
the grand Jury which brought the Indict-
ment was drawn illegally owing to the
fact thnt the deputy clerk at Lincoln
: drew the Jurors, when the law declares
that the clerk himself mut perform this
! act.
Judge Morris did not agree with the
defense on thla point Insofar aa sustain
ing their plea In entirety, but put the
case over until a week from next Mon-
:aar.
I Matters' attorneys have been arguing
' ever since the case hns been taken up
that United Btatea Attorney Howell did
not have the books of the bank at Sutton
and the papers relative to the caae at
their disposal for examination. Howell
stated In court that everything relative
to the case had been In hla office for
1 weeks, and on application Mattera and
; his attorneys might peruse them at their
i leisure.
I "Tour honor, this Is merely a sfubter-
fuge to continue this esse, and I don't
want to see this ball game called on ac
count of rain when there Is no rain."
argued Howell. "I ain willing this case
comes to trial next Monday If th defense
guarantees that it will make no effort to
continue It"
"No. you bet we won't," Inserted Mnt
ter. "Tou don't get ine that way."
Federal Judge Morris finally set the
date for a week from Monday, and In
structed Howell to write the receiver at
the First National bank of tiutton to
aend every acrap of paper relative to
the booka and case, at once, to the United
State attorney' office.
"Gentlemen," concluded Judge Morris,
"this will give all a concerned a chance to
etralghten this book argument. I set th'a
case for a week from Monday end you
can count that there will be not many
rain checks Issued by thla court at that
tlm unless It' raining very hard."

W. H. WHITE PAYING VISIT
TO FRIENDS IN OMAHA
W, TI. White, an old Schuyler boy, now
traveling secretary for th Young; Men'
Christian association In southern India,
with headquarters at Madras, 1 In
Omaha for a few day after vkiltlng hi
parenta, Mr. and Mr. 8. N. Whit at
Setrtiyler. He la helping W. W. Lock
wood In his Young Men' Christian asso
ciation work throughout the country.
Mr. White is a graduate of th Uni
versity of Nebraska of the class of 1907.
Atter hi graduation he was engaged in
secretary work In the Young Men' Chris
tian association In New York for some
time. He has now been In India for five
and one-half years.
Mr. White left India for his trip to
America Just a few days before the war
broke out. Ha haa Just received a letter I
from a brother worker In Madras, who j
statea that a ahall from tha guns of th I
Emden, th German war vessel, tor the '
roof of the friend' house since White'
lert. there. The Emden 1 th ship that
waa driven ashor and destroyed a few
days ago.
la my dlscueilon last Sunday, reference
was made to the Hospital, as th "Unit
of Medical Education," which Idea I
stated was championed by Sir. William
Osier at the opening of th Henry Phlpp
Tsychlatrlc Clinic at the Johns Hopkins
University, about two yeara ago. This
reference might have been misleading
from one point of view, but Sir William
Osier's position upon that occasion
strongly sustains the motive which has
prompted my professions! work for the
psst sixteen years, both In reference to
my lectures, a vtM as to my written
l-iihllcatlona, aa the preface to the third
edition of my published monograph
clearly nets forth. In fart, I am In har
mony with tha entire coterie of scientific
physicians. In all parts of tha World,
whose work haa contributed to the pres
ent high ststus of scientific medicine, as
the published record of my own contri
bution for the paat seven year will In
controvertlbly eetabllsh.
Before tho opening of the Phlpp Psy
chiatric Institute, in conjunction with
the John Hopkins University. I had
labored for fourteen years, calling the
attention of the Medical Profession in the
United States to a badly negelected field
of practical clinical medicine, and, as
before stated, my endeavor won the en
dorsement encouragement and commen
dation of the beat known physicians In
all sections of thla country! or In tht
large part of the United State visited
by me, and It wa with no small degree
of satisfaction that I learned of the open
ing of the Henry Phlpp Psychiatric
Clinic, since this advanced step In the
teaching of Clinical Medicine by an In
stitution so prominently leading aa the
Hopkins, In a meaeure, furnished the
highest poaelble endorsement for the
sanity, usefulness and practicability of
my labor for th fourteen yeara previous.
Thla great Institution has generously
recognized the merit of my work,
through the commendatory review of my
monograph In the Bulletin of the Johns
Hopklna University. In fact a well
known Ex-President of the A. M. A.,
upon tha occasion of rrfy visit to Louis
ville, ended hla remarks, when Introduc
ing me to hi clasa, by saying: "Gentle
men: Although a young man, Dr. Munro
ha the endorsement and commedetlon of
th brain and intelligence of the Medi
cal Profession of America, or at least of
a very large portion of thla country, since
I am personally acquainted with the
physician whoae testimony he bears, and
for this reason I am proud to have the
pleasure of presenting him to occupy my
hour upon .thl occasion "
My work wa encouraged by many of
the leading specialists. Internist and
surgeons of the City of Omaha, as their
own signatures to letters In my posses
sion attest and upon my entrance into
th Omaha Douglas County Society, a
leading Omaha surgeon Introduced me as
a man who had won d'atlnction in a cer
tain branch of Clinical Medicine.
To return to Sir. William Osier's ad
dress at th opening of th Phlpp Psy
chiatric Clinic, upon "The Hospital aa
the Unit of Medical Education." I am
more than pleased to say that I enter
Into hearty accord with all that ' thla
noted physician said upon that occa
sion. He waa then and there emphasis
ing the obligation that the Medical School
owea to the larger social organisation In
extending It clinical and teaching facil
ities so a to properly equip the physi
cians going out Into general and special
practice, so that they could treat th
functional, physical and ' mental disor
ders In their Inclplency, and would thus
be prepared to guard the welfare of such
patients aa th one to which reference
wa made In my article laat Week. 1
again challenge any man or any group
of men to take my published writings,
and show that I am not In harmony
with the scientific physicians, not only
of America, but of the entire civilized
world aa well, matters not what be their
especial department of scientific medical
research. In fact. T am ao much In har
mony with the scientific physicians In
all section of the entire civilized world,
that I refuse to harmonize with those
whose utterances are to tha contrary, so
far as my own Department of Clinical
research la concerned. .
Even at the risk of being counted "un
ethical." and of sacrificing my member
ship In organized medicine. I will con
tinue to do, a I have In the past I- e
tend by the fact a scientific research
ha presented them to me, especially
since I am In. agreement with scientific
Investigator In all other department of
medical research, as well a with th
mor representstlve physicians In my
own particular field of endeavor.
Two year ago, th Dean of th Med
ical Department of the University of Ne
braska, a moat capable and scientific
physician, said to me: "I want you to
Join us In our School." H did not say
anything else, because there waa no
room left for further discussion, after I
mad my reply, t frankly declined, say
ing that I could not affiliate with some
of those constituting hi faculty, and
that 1 might move to a Western City at
some time in the future, as an attrac
tive offer had been made me by another
School of Medicine.
But, even It I still clung to that de
cision, I feel that I ow a duty to my
colleagues who are In the process of be
coming, In the Medical Department of
the Nebraska Stat University, aa well
a to th State of Nebraska, to point out
the weakness and Inefficiency In the De
partment of Clinical Fychlatry In this
Institution. I hold In my possession a
Journal, two of them, containing articles
from the Chair of Psychiatry and Neuro
logy in this Institution which clearly re
veals ta Incompetency. Her I one of
the many similar statement contained
In hi published writings: "It 1 strange
ly true that purely solsntlfla work
tend to Obscar th power of th
will and moral forooa In man." (See
Western Medical Review, Aug., ISO, page
394: alao April, 1911, page 107.)
That statement, though absurd non
sense, condemns th scientific physi
cian In every other Department of the
State University, aa well as the men of
science in all other departments In the
ntire state.' I have in my possession I
further statement that clearly Indicate
his opposition to scientific medical edu
cation. These remarks were made in direct
antagonism to tha branch of work to
which the past fifteen years of my life
has been devoted, correlated as it I
with Psychiatry and Neurology, and
based entirely upon scientific monlpm
that physiological basis which unifies
the physical and mental, making them
one and the same thing, 1. e., an organ
Ism in function, depending upon Its re
action to environmental stimuli, and rec
ognizing no such thing as a non-material
entity, whether designated oe mental or
physical. Thl attack came forth, among
others. In the following words:
"By making will the medicine In non
material treatment we liberate from mind
a mysterious element named psycho
therapy that has ever been repugnant
to rational medicine . The primary
cause of mind la will. The aecondary
and last cause is its action on brain
cell. In making mind, the will ha no
creative power a regards the cells In
the brain, but must work with the grey
matter nature has suppijed and from it
produce mind."
"Th will acting oa and through tb
brain produce mind, naonltnrad, or cul
tured, phyalologio or pathologic limited
only by th truetural imperfections of
th brain, and th duration of Uf. for
th ower of th will la limitless."
Such teaching Is not in accord with
modern science. It I metaphysical non
sense pure and simple. Before I would
violate my own self respect, and the
trust reposed In me by my colleague In
11 parts of thla country. I wotild prefer
being clasaed "unethical."
In the Oct 80th Issue of Science, Prof.
3. J. Metzler. of the Rockefellow Insti
tute for Medical Reaearch, discussing
medical education, makea the following
timely remarks: "We have seen that th
two great evils of the present system
consist In the facta that for our present
head of clinical departments instruction
is only a aecondary occupation and that
on account of the extensive work which
their primary occupation demands, they
are unable to follow efficiently the con
tinuous progress of medicine. (Continues
he) I have no doubt that the ten clin
icians' which make up the strong com
mittee are .'great authorities In . their
special fields, both In the eye of the
profession and the public,' that la they
are great practitioners and consultants
Bnt for this eery reason they are
Just th ma who ax not fit to t
head of department In madioln. Will
the member of this committee and the
members of th Council on Education be
unbiased enough to recognize the fact
that being a celebratedxconaullant and
being an efficient teacher of modern
medicine are aeparate capacities which
frequently exclude one another. The fre
quent repet'tlon In th report of the coun-'
ell of th requirement that men be I
chosen must be great authorities In the
eye of the public and the profession is.
to ssy the least, disconcerting. To h
a groat authority la th eyoa of th
puhlio , 1 nriy no idno vn of
being aa efficient consultant. Any one
who 1 frequently mentioned In newspa

The render may ask what thl ha to
do with "How to Use a Doctorf" I am
Imply Justifying myself for the pub
licity that I am receiving In these ar
ticles, since I un forced to how my
reason for being unwilling to stand be
hind Incompetent men, whether oooupy
log a Professorship in a Btat Unlvsr
ity or not. If the Medical Department
of a State University, th elinlcal
branches, is to be used aa an advertise
ment for a group of Physician, sup
ported by the State, and run in competi
tion against the larger professional and
social organization, while the real cause
of disease Is being neglected, I prefer te
protect myself by open antagonism to
such an Injustice In the name of "Medi
cal Education," a fraud and a fare
beyond words to express, becans un
just and Inefficient.
Thousands of dlsnailsfled American
Phvelclans lack the scholarship to pro
tect themselves from the injustice done
to the larger professional and social or
ganization brought about by the Inade
quate system of medical education In
vogue at the present time. Their own
work Is by far more competent and effi
cient than that of many of the medical
educator at the present time. Let the
Medical Schools fall Into line with Yale,
the Washington and John Hopklna Uni
versities, with full time clinical teachers,
who are not making an advertising ma-
chine of a "State University," and then
they may bo entitled to use the term
"ethical." If the competitive system
must prevail, I will be forced to use the
equipment at my command. I will turn
on the light, from the point of view of
my rich personal experience.
Diseases are experiments made by na
ture which great clinicians ought to try
to Interpret not merely by pressing thetri
Into facts, view or classification found
or put up by others, but also by original,
broad views and Illuminating conceptions
of their own. If they ar th brainy
scientifically well-trained man whom
thy ought to be. Knowledge Is only of
value In ao far aa it Is useful. Of what
use is a collection of data, called science,
or accumulations of a large collection of
observations on various natural phen
omena, until by the application of persist
ent thought It Is used to produce definite
and tangible therapeutic results, or Is
made to become subservient to some use
ful end cr purpose. Efficiency Is the
watchword of the ago. but it Implies not
only a wide) knowledge of facts, but a
breadth of vision that will enable the re
lation among the various categories of
human knowledge to be seen clearly and
applied to the practical needs of man
kind. ...... ' : -
Such is the function of aclentlflc Psy
chotherapy, or of "Modern Psychiatry
and Konrology," and It Is far more ef
ficacious than merely the proscribing
of drugs or the employment of the knife,
however Important their use may be
where special cases demand them, and
thla more advanced therapeutic equip
ment should be In the armlmentartum of
every physician turned out from our
medical schools.
At the reading of the first paper pre
sented by ine to the Nebraska State
Medical Association at Lincoln, about
four and a half years ago, it wa
unanimously voted that a request that
Psychotherapy be taught In th Medical
Department of the Nebraska State Uni
vealty be submitted to th Regents,
there being not a single dissenting rote.
After that th voice of Democracy wag
hashed. Th Oligarchy a la Simmons,
th former advertising quack of Ko
traska, appeared npon th aoene. A
ctnsorship opposod to Bctono waa
established. Th freedom of Individual
ity wa quelled, and Democracy haa
boon heard no more.. Since then, I have
reached the Nebraska Physician
through Medical Journal articles, pub
lished in other states. In deflano of th
