A MYSTERIOUS MEDICAL MAN ,
Facta About a Peculiar Physician
Given to the Public.
DR. POWELL REEVES' RECORD.
The "Well-Known Specialist" Proves
to Ho a. Ijttcntry 1irate unil
K Man With More Than
One Name.
Points For Patients.
Some years ago when Omaha was Infested
fcy a lot of quacks and medical impostors , the
UIE : ventured n cleaning out of the frator-
fcity. That it succeeded in an eminent do-
grco is well remembered. "Dr. " Mumey ,
\vho had Jngiatiatcd himself among numer
ous mule and foinnlo dupes , played a big role
tor a inno. When exposed by the Hut : ho
sued the paper for f 10,000 damages , but in
stead oC pushing the suit bu quietly folded
bis tent and stele nwuy to a more congenial
vlhnc. Nextcamo Dr. Aid rich , who placed a
'jnonumontal marble slab in the Funium
trcot otduxralU. Ho appeared to bo u good
und pious man , and from Ids victims' money
lie contributed most gcnerojisly to nearly
* very charitable and church organization.
3Io succeeded most admirably in working
himself into the affections of more women ,
thttn any other man over known in Omaha.
The IKI ! : exposed him , and ho took his de
parture , after which his sidewalk slab was
tunwl upsldo down. The last hcaru of Aid-
rich was that ho was killed in New Mexico
by some indignant relative of a woman whom
the alleged doctor bad mistreated. Another
humbug was an old German ' 'doctor'1 who
held forth on Capitol uvonuc , and pretended
to cure every disease by means of bis herb
baths. He , too , has disappeared. "Dr , Fish-
blatt , " who for n time raked in bushels of
blmkcls from confiding victims .long since de
parted. To his credit , bo It said , ho has re-
termed , and instead of administering quack
nostrums to the physical body , ho in now en
gaged in prescribing spiritual doses for sin
sick souls. In other words , ho is a leader in
the Salvation army. He bus dropped his
medical title fora military one , and is now
known as General Fishblatt.
Since- the passagoof stringent medical laws
in Illinois and Iowa there has been quito mi
influx of quack * and questionable median !
into Omaha , and us a result u great many
people nro being "doctored" t death by men
who ought to bo chopping wood or shoveling
dirt instead of "practicing" medicine. We
can stuim Jaek-letr lawyers and Peter Funks
Itenorally , as they only swindle people out of
their money , but when men and womrn nro
subjected to malpractice , and in many cases
driven to premature graves , it is time to call
a halt ,
There is In the city of Omaha an alleged
doctor whoso ways uro peculiar and mysteri
ous , but by no means past finding out. Ho
vuns a so-culled private dispensary and adver
tises far and wide to euro nearly uvcry disease
with which the human system is ntUlctod. As
n consfqucnco ho has n largo number of vie
tlms of misplaced confidence. This man Is
"Dr. " Powell Kccvcs. Information has bwi
received in this city from time to tlmo fron
various parties in different localities showing
him to bo a fraud In several particulars. Hi
bus "practiced" in various parts of the coun
try , and has made a record that is not alto

that ho was located In Portland , Oro.

"Dr. " Powell Kccves has also
practiced" in San Francisco , l > ut
n that city lie employed a young doctor
named Koberts , in whose natno ho carried
on business. So writes a reputable physician
of Now Orleans.
Quito recently Dr. Powell llccves , alias
Dr. " Vamnoneiscar.has had printed InOmaha
a pamphlet of sixty-four pages , treating of the
various diseases which hoclaims no can cure.
This pamphlet , entitled "Pacts for the Sick , "
"s stolen bodily from u similar book , with the
same title. Issued by Dr. Vf. II. Be.tts , a phy
sician and well-known specialist of Now
Drleans. The title-page , table of contents ,
.ho beads of the subdivisions , and the reari
ng matter throughout are identically the
same in both painphlots , with a very few ex
ceptions. One of these exceptions is that
Hcuvcs inserts his own name in place of
Belts. When he took Uetts' book to Fest-
ner's prihting establishment bo gave
orders to have it reproduced as nearly as iws-
sible , mid to Insert the name of Ueeves In
stead of Belts , in this style , "By Dr. 1 . . I , .
Hooves , consulting physician of the Private
Dispensary. " To provo that "Dr. " Heevcs
is a fraud at least a literary pirate it is
only necessary to compare the Omaha and
Now Orleans pamphlets. For instance on
page 12 , in Dr. Holts' book , occurs the
following passage : "Four diplomas certify
to my fiualitlcation in medicine and surgery ,
and twenty-live years experience und ex
tensive practice in England , Franco and
America , affording unusual opportunities for
the Investigation of disease and the search
for remedies , has enabled mo to succeed In
many instances where eminent practitioners
luxvo failed. "
Now Is it not a singular and striking coin-
cidcnco that this sanio passage , word for
word , ap | > earft on page 1 of "Dr. " lloovcb'
pamphlet I Such is the fact , however. The
Br.n ventures to assert that "Dr. " Kccvcs
can't show four diplomas from reputable col
leges , and that ho will not swear that ho bus
had twenty-live years' ' experience in England ,
Franco and America. If ho can show a di
ploma from ono regular medical college in
good standing he Is in big luck. In his cir
culars ho claims that bo is a graduate of a
regular medical college. It is understood
that ho refers to the American Kclcctlc college -
lego of Cincinnati. If that is the case , ho
hasn't much medical culture to brag of.
"You can get a diploma from that college
in six weeks , " said ono of Omaha's leading
doctors.
Another doctor said : "Tlio American Ec
lectic collcgn of Cincinnati was , prior to 1SSO ,
considered us n bogus institution , and its di
ploma was not reeognUoil by any state board
of health. The diplomas granted bcforo 1N0
were simply bought , but I understand that
since then the college has been reorganized.
I have been told that the doan of the faculty
made allldnvit that Ueoves is not a graduate
of that college. The allldavit was sent tp a
certain lawyer of this city"
The lawyer referred to above was asked if
the statement of the doctor was true , und ho
replied us follows :
K''Tho dean ol the faculty of the American
F.clcctie college of Cincinnati , learning that
Paul Hceves was a practicing ; physician in
Omaha , and pretending to bo such by virtue
of u diploma from that institution , sent on an
affidavit stating , among other things , that at
the datu of his pretended diploma the college
was not recognized among thestuto boards ol
health of the country. The deun also referred
in his aflidavit to the state board of health ol
Illinois for tlui years IW-J-bJl , in which years
the diplomas of the college were thrown out
This nftldavit was Illed with the county clerk
for the purpose of contorting the right ol
Hcovos to practice , but. was afterwards with
drawn , the law being found defective in that
it provides no board of authority to review
the action of the county clerk In regard U
the licenses. The clerk is absolutely com
pelled to record all diplomas which appear to
Lo such , und there is no authority to question
a diploma. "
U may bo barely possible , however , thai
Dr. Powell Uoevoa graduated from
some rojular collegu under seine
other name probably Vanmonclscar. Wo

cular that "Dr. Vunmonciscar is a graduate

Vnnmoneiscar and llccves arc one and the
same , the only explanation of this remark-
iblc. coincidence is that the latter graduated
.imler the name of the former. To use an
Indian expression it looks very much as if he
is "bud medicine. " Dr. )5clts , of Now
Orleans , who is very indignant
at Kccves for pirating his book ,
writes of him us follows : "Ho
Knows nothing of medicine. He has a di
ploma purchased from Buchanan. What
sort of a medical law have you in Nebraska ,
to allow such a fraud to practice medicine )

can got pretty

the past week , lias been that in anticipation
of the afternoon reception given by Mrs. C.

balf of that number responded. The draw
ing rooms of the spacious mansion were mag
nificently decorated with flowers und plants.
Tlio portlcrs were literally banked with
roses. Florist Parker's arrangement of the
fragrant decorations was superb , and every
room in the house showed the skill and tnsto
of this artist. The chandeliers were
festooned with snrilax and roses. In fact
roses were everywhere and the fragrance of
these costly and lovely flowers was delightful.
Mrs. Hamilton was assisted by Mrs. Cum
