death list reads like a community Hall of Fame. . : '
, And now Dr. J. J. 'Emmens, after a .gallant fight against
overwhelming odds.ihas joined "the great majority." I
. 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
;. Eeally in the prime of life, at the height of his professional
powers, he was in a LITKRAL sense of the term,; a genuine
municipal asset.'. ; ' ' ..-);'!
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. '. .....,.-"'
For several terms he served on the city council, and could
have gone far politically had he so desired, but he wisely decid
ed to devote himself to his chosen profession. Whenever there
was something to be done in a civic way, however, there he
was always "on call." !. r . : ' - '
It is hard to become reconciled to a death like this only 52,
and in a thousand ways so greatly needed. ,
But life' is quite apparently NOT something to be UNDER
STOOD: It's something to be IjIVED, gallantly, joyously,
USEFULLY! up to the very ciid!
And come to "think' of it that strikes its as rather a fitting
epitaph for Dr. Emmens. ; ., '"

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,

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

nothing of the high school graduate,
heaven only knows, and the nostrum
