"EDITOR'S BACK STAIRS." '
The InKM-eatlng View of the Late Dr.
3. Q. Holland.
The columns of tlie newspapers appear
to be noouoa with, proprietary mwiu ine
aiv'rtiwrnpn(8. A we cast our eye
ovrriimii, it itnnjn to tuina an articio
tlmt wan piihiislicd hv tho Into Dr. Hoi
liind In 8Tilmor' Monthly. He suvs:
"NeviTtholess, it is 8 ffwt that many of
the bout proprietary mwlicinos of tho nay
were more Huceesshil than many phvBi
ician, ami most of thorn, it should 1
rememtjerod, were at first discoveml or
used in actual medical practice. hen,
however, any shrewd twrson, knowing
ii .. : : " .1 i . : - .i - .
laritv, ewures and adverting them, then.
In tho opinion of the bigoted, all virtue
went out ot them."
. Is not this ahsitrd?
This jrrtmt man appreciated the real
merits of Ttopukr remedies, and the al
fturdity of those that derided them be
cause public attention was called to the
article and the evidence of their cures. If
the most noted physician should an
nounce that he had made a study of any
certain orpin or disease of the lodv, or
mane nis mn larger man ine cotie siste,
tlioitKh he may have practised medicine
and Iwcn a loader in all medical counsels,
iiotwitliHtandinn all thin, if he should pre
sume to advertise and decline to (rive his
discovery to the public, be would be pro
nounced a quack and a humhii, al
though he may have spent his entire
life and all bis available funds in perfect
"inff his investigations.
Again we say "absurd "
If an ulcer is found upon one's ann and
is cured by some dear old grandmother,
outside of the code, It will lxj pronounced
by the medical profession an ulcer of lit
tle importance. But if treated under the
code, causing sleepless nights for a month,
with the scientific treatment, via., plant
ers, wiwbes, dosing with morphine, ar
senic and other vile sulwtanccs, given to
prevent Mood jKiiwming or deaden pain,
and yet the lcerlyomes malignant and
amputation in made necessary at last to
save life, yet all done a-eording to the
"isms" of tlie medical code, this is much
more gratifying to tlie medical profession,
and add more dignity tothatdiBtinguish
i order tlian to 1 cured by the dear old
grandmother's remedy.
This appears like a severe arraignment,
yet we be lieve that it expresses the true
standing of the medical proiession in re
gard to remedies discovered outside of
their special "isms." One of the most
perplexing things of the day is the popn
larity of certain remedies, especially
yVaruer'a Fafe Cure, which we find for
sale everyw here. Tlie physician of the
highest standing is ready to concede its
merits and sustain the theories the pro
prietors have made that is, that it
liencfiU in most of the ailments of the
human system lxx-ause it assists in put
ting tlie kidneys ia proper wndition,
thereby aiding in throwing off the im
purities of the blood, while others with
lees honesty and exierienee deride, and
are willing to see their patient die scien
tifically, nnd according to t he code, rather
than have him cured by this great remedy.
Yet we notice that the jnipulurity of
the medicine continues to grow year by
year. The discoverer comes Jxildly be
fore the people with its merits, and pro
claims them from door to door in our
opinion much more honorably than the
physician who, perchance, may secure a
patient from some catastrophe, and is :
.wiuitted to set a bone of an arm or a
linger, which ha does with great dignity,
yet very soon after takes tlie liberty to
climb tlie editor's back stairs at 2 o'clock
in the morning to have it announced in
the morning paer that "lr. bo-and.no
was in attendance." thus securing for his
benefit a beautiful and free advertisement.
We shall leave it to our readers to say
which is the wiser and more honorable.
