A Chance for Fame

Book Notes

From the scare-headings in the newspapers, Another Christian Science Victim, one might be led to suppose that there were no victims of regular doctors. Book Notes would be glad to print the portrait of any physician who can with mere drugs cure any disease. The newspapers here gave no scare-heading when a person, certified by the State Board of Health to be a physician and surgeon, rammed a catheter through the crown of an old man's bladder, and then gave natural causes as the reason of the man's death.
