ONE DRUG FOR EACH
CASE, DOCTOR'S IDEA
Homeopath Tells Convention
"Shotgun Prescriptions"
Not Good Practice.
TONSILS FOUND USEFUL
Operations Favored Only Where
Danger to Other Organs Apparent.
Dr. J. H. Bcsson Elected and
State Sleeting Adjourns.
A vigorous plea against "shotgun
prescriptions." as he styled the practice
of giving so-called combination tab
jets, or a combination of drugs, to pa
tients for whom only one remedy is
needed, was made by Dr. A. S. Nichols
in an interesting paper on "Analysis
and Application of Drugs" at the 39th
annual meeting of the Homeopathic
Medical Society of Oregon, held at the
Imperial Motel yesterday.
Dr. Nichols urged careful study by
doctors toward individualizing their
patients and differentiating the drugs
to be prescribed, to the end of select
ing a single drug for each case. He
rrave a resume and classification of
drugs to show that the one remedy
needed could be selected.
Single Drag Suited to Each Case.
"A man out on a ranch goes into a
4rove of 300 or 400 horses," he illus
trated, "yet he is able to tell each horse
apart. In the same way the physician
should be able to pick out the partic
ular remedy suited to each case, with
out trying a combination of remedies at
the same time."
Dr. Daniel O. Webster, who led the
discussion of the paper, made the point
that, although known as homeopaths,
doctors of this school were first of all
physicians and specialists in the pre
scribing of drugs homeopathically. He
added that they must know when to
prescribe curatlvely and when to pre
scribe palliatively.
Conservation of tonsils was urged by
Dr. P. L. McKenzie in a paper on "The
Tonsil." He advised against hurry in
removing tonsils where tonsil trouble
might be only a symptom of some
other disorder which was causing the
trouble.
Karly Tonsil Operations XTrted.
"Some doctors remove tonsils for t25,
and others remove them for the benefit
of their patients," remarked Dr. P. E.
Hale, in the discussion. He pointed
out that there are two kinds of tonsil
trouble, and urged that tonsils sub
ject to frequent Infection and quinsy
should be removed without delay, be
cause of the danger of their causing
inflammatory rheumatism.
In a scholarly paper on "Ectopic Ges
tation." the conclusions of which were
generally corroborated in a spirited
discussion following. Dr. Byron E.
Miller made a plea for early diagnosis
and operation before rupture resulted.
Dr. L. S. Be: son, in a paper on
"Renal Efficiency," described the new
Jihenolsulphonethalein test for -determining
the exact state of efficiency
of the kidneys. He said this test would
be a fine object 1' on to many men
who have ravaged awa" their kidneys
lor half a lifetime by ihe use of alco
holic liquors. Ke also pointed out its
Talue in life insurance examinations.
"Chauffeurs' Fracture" Dlacuased
Dr. Herbert S. Nichols described an
Improved method of treating "chauf
feurs' fracture." known technically as
"colles fracture," or the fracture of the
inner bone of the wrist just back of
the wrist joint, caused by the backfire
kick of automobile cranks, through the
use of plaster of paris splints in place
of the common wooden splints.
The fracture is also frequent among
children using roller skates, being due
to a fall on the back part ot the palm.
Dr. Nichols said that since the intro
duction of the automobile this fracture
has become the most common.
"The frequency of deformity in thes
cases is a warning that much care
should be exercised in reduction and
retention." he explained. "The plaster
of paris splints are made a few min
utes before application, so they may be
BliKhtly rigid when applied.
"They are made of repeated laps of
a two or three-inch plaster bandage or
of layers of ordinary gauze incorpo
rated with plaster. It is so simple and
effective that I io not see why this
method has not been adopted long ago.
The bones are retained exactly as they
have been placed, for the splint fits
every contour of the wrist."
Physicians Asked for Data.
Other papers included: "Colic of Ar
frentum Nitricum," by Dr. Ethel B. Fel
lows, of McMinnville; "Why Pain and
Inflammation?" by Dr. Frank S. Casse
day, and. "Items From My Case Book,"
by Dr. Adelaine Keeney-Ferris, of
Fpringfield.
In his address as retiring president.
Dr. David Breuer explained that blank
reports had been sent to homeopathic
physicians through the state asking
them to tell the number or years tney
liad been in practice, the number of
cases of pneumonia, typhoid fever and
Fcarlet fever they had handled, and
the results obtained.
A tabulation of the reports received,
Dr. Breuer said,-showed that in more
than 200 scarlet fever cases handled
by homeopaths, there had been only
one death, and that n pneumonia,
where some of the largest medical
centers of the country have as high
as 25 per cent in deaths, only 6 per
cent of deaths were reported by Oregon
homeopaths in many cases treated.
Dr. Byron E. Miller and Dr. John H.
T?esson were elected representatives to
the American Institute of Homeopathy
for 1916-1", to he held at Baltimore or
Kochester. N. T., with Dr.- Arthur Ij.
Canfleld and Dr. John S. Bishop, of
Forest Grove, as alternates.
The meeting adjourned after Dr. John
H. Besson, the new president of the
society, had been Installed and had
outlined some of his plans for the com
ing year.
PROSECUTION FUND GROWS
Forestry Kmloyes Donate for Trial
of Ranger's Slayer.
To raise a fund for the trial of the
hunter who killed Forest Ranger
Clarke, of the Cabinet National forest
In Montana, employes of the forest
service are giving willingly.
Mr. Clarke was killed instantly when
a hunter mistook him for a bear. The
Coroner's jury decided that the acci
ient was the result of carelessness, and
stamped the crime as manslaughter.
The Government furnishes no money
for the prosecution of men under sucn
circumstances.

T. (Tom) Wright, of the Union First
National Bank, has sold his interests
to the Union National, organized six
or seven years ago, and will retire

Union institution is the oldest in Union
and Wallowa counties. The purchas

son, a wealthy Union man, who will
be the new president, but until the
purchasing bank liquidates its affairs
it will keep its doors open.
Thi3 done, it disappears from Ore

CHARTER TO BE ISSUE
OREGON CITS' VOTES OX MEASURE

City Manager Under Direction of Mayor
Proposed and Fewer Elections
- Arranged For.
OREGON CITY. Or., Oct. 28. (Spe
cial.) When Oregon City votes on the
charter' amendment being prepared by
the committee of nine citizens, it also
will vote on a ticKet of crty officers to
enforce the charter.
The ticket, will be a part of the char
ter itself. jit the charter is defeated,
the ticket is defeated; if successful, the
ticket will go lr.to office on the first
of the year and every elective official
of the city now serving, .including the
nine Councilmen and Mayor, will go out
of office.
In case the charter carries, the place
of the present official family will be
taken by a Council of five elected, at
large and a Mayor. The executive will
serve two years, and of the five Coun
cilmen, three will serve two years and
two . for four years.
Elections would be held biannually.
and not annually as at present, with
three members of the Council being
elected at one election, two at the next
and so on. t
The city manager would be appointed
by the Mayor, would be responsible to
him, and would have much the same
relation to the city that the general
manager of a corporation would have
to the corporation. lie would appoint
all other employes, except the City
Treasurer, who would be elected by the
Council, and the City Attorney, mem
bers of the police force and the Munic

the Mayor.
A complete draft of the charter will
probably be completed before the end
of this week.
BOOM FOR LINE BEGUN
MOVE LAUNCHED TO RAISE 100,000
FOR WORK AT NEWPORT.
Company Under Bonds to Build Within
lear la In Financial Straits Be
cause of War Conditions.
NEWPORT. Or.. Oct. 28. (Special.)
Citizens of this city are lined up be
hind a movement to raise a bonus of
$100,000 to induce the Portland & West
Coast Navigation Company to begin
construction work within the next 60
days on the proposed railroad line con
necting this city with Portland.
About a year ago the company ob
tained a . franchise from Newport to
construct terminal tracks and wharves
along the waterfront. A perpetual
lease of 500 feet of such front was
given the company and a bond of $8000
insured the commencement of the con
struction work within one year.
Owing to the financial stringency
caused by the war the company was
unable to raise the funds to carry out
this work and an additional year was
granted.
This road will tap the rich timber
belt in the failetz district and will con
nect with other lines, giving a short
route to Portland of only little more
than 120 miles, avoiding the long de
tour by way of Corvallis and Albany
Committees have been appointed to
take up the work of raising the bonus
and with the aid of the timber inter
ests in the sections to be opened up
success is practically assured.
A concerted movement is now under
way to obtain a liberal appropriation
irom congress ror permanent improve
ment of Yaquina bar and harbor, one
half the cost of the improvement to be
assumed by the people of the county.

The Guest Is
Dear Friends:
Just a word, to convey our idea of serv
ice personal service.
It is more than good hotel service it is
Hotel Multnomah Service, an outgrowth of
the Multnomah policy that the guest is
always right.
As a result, the remark in times past so
commonplace that "One hotel is as good as
another in which to live or dine" is now a
rarity. -
To select in an indifferent manner a place
in which to live or to dine is not a solution
of the problem; it is a compromise it is
making a verdict of necessity.
The Hotel Multnomah is the solution
for if it is possible to dine wisely and well,
from cantaloupe to coffee if it is possible
to live in comfort and contentment if it is
possible to enjoy life exactly to the extent
that one desires, it is at Hotel Multnomah.
And it is a commendable commentary
upon Portland, that the city possesses and
supports a hotel of the size and to the extent
necessary to permit it to now offer all these
comforts, conveniences and pleasures to
prospective resident guests at no greater
cost, and perhaps less, than it costs you to
keep house. -
Ask me about it now.
