PASADKN'A, Calif., March 22. According to the calendar
Spring started yesterday, but it really atarted today. Yenterday
was a mixture of rain, sleet and wind) today nothing but clear
blue sky, sunshine and air like champagne. Auother invitation
to see the wild flowers at Rakersfield, but we declined and
played 18 holes of golf instead, at Altadena. This is the fourth
i.'Hiiie for this trip, and we have yet to find any fairways as
eonrl us the fairways on the Medford course. The greens how
ever are flat and smooth as billiard tables, perfect for a good
"One-putter" like the Hon. Gene Thorndike. Too bad Gene,

Dined with a university professor at the Athanaum last
niirlit, which is a very attractive eating club. The professor was
interested to learn that the TownsAid Old Age pension plan is
popular in Oregon. He wanted to know why, and our only
answer was that many people believed if adopted it would
restore prosperity and end the depression.
The professor knows his economies and is a atudnt of Amer
ican politics. He predicts enthusiasm for the Townsend plan
will die down as suddenly as it was aroused, and regards the
intensity of its emotional support, as a wholesome sign. Such
popular political movements, he maintains come and go but
never last long. Sinclair's Epic plan which had such a burst
in southern California a year ago, he ay is dead and buried
now. He predicts a similar fate for the Townsend plan in twelve
months, but with a presidential campaign coming on we doubt
that and told him so. However he stuck to his guns, and was
willing to wager a dinner on it, so having one dinner to the
good anyway, we took him up.
The Townsend plan he said reminded him of his small boy
Pete who Inst, summer decided to make some money running a
lemonade stiind. Pete took on
and they manufactured a large
sweetened. It was hot, and the
several kitchen tumblers, and
quite inviting under a tree on the curb.
The two hoys tended the stand religiously all day, but when
Pete came in that evening he was plainly discouraged.
"How is busineasl" he was asked.
"Not so good," said Pete.
"What was the matter, couldn't you sell anything?"'
"We sold it all out.".
"Sold it all out and yet business was poor?"
"Well we didn't make a dime."
"How could that bet"
"Well, said Pete, in much perplexity, "I can't understand it
either. When I drnnk a glass of lemonade paid George a
nickel ; and when he drank a glass he paid me a nickel yes sir,
WK PAID KVERY TIM K. But
have any lemonade and we didn't have any more money tluin
when we started. I jest can't figure it out."
That, opined the professor,
in the Townsend plan. The only
end the depression is to create
more wealth by taking money from one pocket and putting it
into another. The boys had a revolving fund all right but they
had no customers. So they ended just where they started. The
analogy of course is not a perfect one, but the incident does
demonstrate one very common misapprehension concerning the
Townsend plan.
Judging by our first week in
dent Uoosevelt's personal popularity is now at its lowest ebb
since his inauguration. He appears to be suffering his political
Valley Forge. In fact we have found it about as difficult to find
an enthusiastic Roosevelt supporter in this state, as was the case
luring our eastern motor trip,
was followed by the greatest Roosevelt victory in the country's
history, and perhaps tins one will
stand it, it. impresses ns as wicrd. Can it be that only hard

AMIH'I.ANT TREATMENT OF HKKNIA PROVES IIKIHI.Y SICIESKH. 1
Z can think of at leaat a score ot
good doctors In various part of the
country who are enjoying uniform
auccesa with the
Injection treat
ment of hernia.
All of these phy
sician are Pel
Iowa or Members
of the American
Medical associa
tion. Some or
them teach the
method to other
physicians, either
in their private
offlcea or In
medical school
clinics. Mo doubt there are hun
dreds of other physicians of equally
Rood standing now using thla am
bulant method In their practice.
Yet the clique of self-seeking pol
iticians now In control of the Amer
ican Medical association, smug lit
tle gentlemen who have plenty ot
leisure to tell real doctors what's
what and what Isn't, busily circu
late lmpropaganda (at the expense
of the rank and file of the A. M.
A.) calculRtfd to frighten people oft"
from the moderrl method and keep
them coming to the operating table
for hernia operations.
One "well known" but. oddly
enough, anonymous "general aur
geon" the A. M. A. lmpropaganda
quotes, appears to harbor a grave
fear that Injection of hernia Is
"tfangernim procedure" and "might
easily result In serious harm to a
patient." But he dopsn't divulge just
what the Imaginary danger Is, nor
doee he tell the credulous layman
(to whom the American Medical as
sociation directs thla unethical
warning) just why or how it might
do harm. Of course the hypothetical
"well known general surgeon" can't
explain the basis of hts fears about
this, for there la no danger and
the treatment doea no harm. The
truth is, and I challenge any "well
known" anonymous "authority" the
A. M. A. may conjure up to con
trovert this with trustworthy sta
tistics, the truth Is that the stand
ard surgical treatment for hernia is
nctualiy as dangerous and aa likely
to do harm aa is the ambulant or
Injection treatment, in competent
hands. Let me make that last part
more emphatic. I am speaking here
of the work of reputable qualified
physicians and surgeons, and not ot
the ways of quacks. A reputable doc
tor gets new pallenta through the
recommendation of his old patients;
a quack has to get new ones by
appealing to popular credulity.
The other day I had the oppor
tunity to see thirty patients under
ambulant treatment for hernia at
the skll ful hands of Dr. Karl E.
Kretzchmar in XjOS Angeles. Some of
these patients had been cured, of
very Inrge hernias. Several of them
had been operated upon, with re
currence of the hernia. Three of
them had had post-operative ventral
hernia. Dr. Krptzchmar regards in
jection treatment as Ideal for the
last mentioned condition. One of
the patients waa a surgeon 1 His
hernia was apparently cured, after
some six or eight injections. He, too,
ts a Fellow of the American Medi
cal Association and a "well known
general surgeon." He expressed him
self as entirely satisfied with the
treatment, which he had elected in

preference to a lay-up of several
week a in hospital and the risk of
general anesthesia. When a surgeon
consider these newfangled method
from hla own private viewpoint he
can see what we're driving at.
I remember the disgust with
which a colleague of mine com
mented on the great number of
throat specialists and their fam
ilies who came to him for dia
thermy extirpation of the tonsils
while the same brass specialist
were publicly throwing cold water
on the method as "dangerous" or
"unsatisfactory."
I character!? the lmpropaganda
of the American Medical association
against the ambulant treatment of
hernia as unethical because It la
unethical for any Individual medical
man or any clique or group of med
ical men to publish or distribute
to the laity warnings or unsub
stantiated views against a remedy
cr method which la In wide use
by other members of the same med
ical organization and In equally
good standing in the medical pro
fession. It 1 Just . as fair and a ethical
for me to raise a hullabaloo here
against an operation which Is in
wide ue by reputable physicians or
surgeons or to tell the unsophisti
cated laity that the operation la
"a dangerous procedure" or that It
"might easily result in serious harm"
to the patient, as It is for the
present regime of the American
Medical association to circulate this
unwarranted slur upon the work
done by many of the most progres
sive physicians In the country. But
ethic doesn't cramp the styte ot
the A. M. A. much. The big shots
of the oligarchy take the attitude
that the mere mern,bers out in tlte
sticks must "do as we say, not ft
we do." And they get away with It,
too.
As many readers know, I have j
been impressed with the value of the
ambulant method for hernia, since
I discovered the fine work in that
field that wag done by Dr. Paul
Levi of Oowanda, N. Y. Now, after
having seen these thirty patient
under Dr. Kietzsch mar's treatment
and talked with them and examined
them, I am Inclined to think any
body a bit goofy who voluntailly
submits to the radical operation for
hernia without first having given
the injection treatment a fair try.
