TOO 'BAD, TOO BAD I , - ' He was greatly needed not only to a devoted family group and a host of affectionate friends, but to the community as a whole. V ;.

A dynamo of. energy, devoted to his profession, he, brought sufferers 'seeking health and relief to this, city, from all parts of southern Oregon and northern California. Up and down the coast he was known as one of the most brilliant operators, ond skilled diagnostioiaiis in. his line. Unusually, successful in his profession, Br, Emmcns at-the. same, time, probably did more outright charitable work than any other specialist in this part of the state. ',, t, . .,-.,'!; A TIREIESS worker too tireless for his 'own good, Dr. Emmens at the same time, was never too busy to give of his time and energy, where1 any movement vital to the develop ment and betterment of Medford was doncerned.

WHO ISNT AFRAID OF THE BIO BUOABOOT The great noctrum vendor took a cue from the tobacco and cosmetic companies; If they could buy the namee and pic turea of society 1 e a d r a why couldn't he make similar use of fa mous specialists? So .he sent out a scout who dick ered a bit and reported that they came rath er high In Amer ica. All right, said the boss, we'll go aver and see what Harley StreeV can do for us. Even the Harley Street special ists were rather difficult to sign up. So finally tfte medicine magnate be thought hlm&elf of Vienna and Ber lin and kicked himself for not hav ing thought of these places In the first place. Why, the doctors there are In desperate straits and can be had at ridiculous prices. Thus the agent "contaoted" a struggling phy sician who, eking out a living by serving as assltant instructor In a clinic, had at least the atmosphere to warrant assumption' of the title "Professor." The agent borrowed a barber coat and had the "Professor" put It on and pose for some pics, holding a fake X-ray picture of comebody'c Innards. All for $100 complete of course not Including trie agent's expenses, try obscure European quack tends to In crease various re'al maladies which are due to the harmful effects of the physics commonly used 'to "regulate" the function of defecation. These un toward effects are little known and seldom recognized by the habitual user of such dope. The puzzling symptoms produced by the side-effects of many medicines In laxative nostrums lead to errors In diagnosis, some merely ludicrous, but some of serious consequence. How utterly Ignorant (of anatomy, physiology and hygiene) the college and university graduate Is, to say nothing of the high school graduate, heaven only knows, and the nostrum Interests will not permit heaven to tell. r Once In a long while constipation Is a symptom or result of some dis ease. But in the great majority of cases it la only a bad habit and the habit la amenable to good psychol ogy, 'ust as It Is formed and main tained by ,bad psychology. .
