THE PHYSICIAN AND THE FAKER
Probably few understand the real reason why regular and reputable
medical practitioners oppose and prosecute the numerous "healers"
that infest the country; or why a newspaper management should feel
Justified in refusing, as The Press has done, the florid and high priced
advertising with which these same same fellows always flood a com
munity in which they locate.
There is the likelihood of a general misconception that professionel
Jealousy actuates the accredited physicians. Newspapers that oppose
the "healers," which will hereafter be termed fakers, for The Press
konestly believes them nothing less, are always open to suspicion
that their animosity is aroused by the faker overlooking them in dis
tributing his patronage. Aud playing these suppositions is the faker's
cnaiustay always in acquiring the confidence and the coin of his vic
tims.
As far as the Spokane situation is concerned neither of these sup
positions is correct. The Press will guarantee for tho physicians of
this city that professional jealousy is entirely removed from their
dealings with the faker. The possibility of a refined trained physician
becoming envious of a ranting "miracle worker" is too remote to be
considered. It is entirely foreign to the high ideals of the medical
profession and too trivial to find lodgment in a mind cultivated to the
point that profession demands in the qualities of manly pride and self
respect.
Speaking for itself, The Press can show an extensive list of re
fusals of all kinds of fake medicine advertising. There is nothing of
the sort now being placed in this city that could not have been se
cured for The Press at a much higher rate than any other class of ad
vertising Is now paying. The newspapers that accept such advertising
recognize it as a fake by in turn resorting to graft in making rates
for it. The faker submits to the graft and for his part grafts the
public all the more.
The first and foremost reason why this business is barred from The
Press is that the management does not place any credence in the
statements of the fake healers. Examination of the advertising copy
furnished by them proves the whole scheme fraudulent. The faker
will insert a statement that a reporter called on him. found his office
crowded with gra»eful patients, etc., and the paper that does business
with him will print such statements knowing them to be false. This
ts the secret of all the "Interviews" you find printed in such advertis
ing and the same process prevails to a great extent in securing the
"testimonials." The entire proceeding is fraudulent and what reliance
can be placed in methods introduced to the public by palpable false
hood?
There is another point that appeals especially to the physician par
ticularly and also to the newspaper that exercises discretion in the
advertising it accepts. Sickness and injury are forms of misfortune
that cannot be prevented and must be combatted with all the mental
and physical strength that can be summoned. The ills flesh Is heir to
are not industrial or commercial projects to be exploited for mercen
ary purposes. This is a view directly opposite to that held by the
fake "doctor" and his compatriot the fake advertising paper. Their
line of action ia to swindle the sick into the belief that they have
been cured and swindle tue healthy into the fear that they are sick.
Anything to get the money from anybody and everybody. The plunder
is divided between the faker and the fake publisher. One is as ..ad
as the other.
No man should seek medical advice unless common sense tells
him he needs it. O linary common sense should safeguard him from
the art of suggestion practiced persistently by the faker through tin
censored advertising columns, but unfortunately it does not, otherwise
the faker would cease to exist.
Along the same line of argument no reputable physician should or
will attempt to beat up the bushes for patients as a hunter stalks
game. The ethics of his profession teach him to keep himself in readi
ness to answer the call of human need, but not to inspire that call.
Were this principle to be abandoned by the medical profession the
wealth of the world would pass into the physicians' hands.
Con vine* the ablest man or woman that they are in danger and
they are at the doctor's mercy. That many members of the profes
sion have taken advantage of this susceptibility cannot be denied,
but no other calling can show a higher standing of honor than the
medical, although to no other profession Is presented the same op
portunities for robbery under safe guise.
The true physician knows better than anyone else that humanity is
assailed by a legion of ills he cannot remedy. Generations of doc
tors have worn out lifetimes in the struggle to attain what the pro
fession holds, and future generations must continue to wear out and
drop in the battle with disease. It is a struggle with no ending; a
warfare without prospect of peace.
And here is the finer conception of the true physician: In the
anxious hour of birth or the last final struggle for breath on the
deathbed, he is humanity's first and last dependence. His smile means
that a new life has been successfully launched. The shake of his head
when he can do no more first signals the approach of the dark angel.
The finest and mo»t powerful emotions of men and women are ap
parent to him as to none other and the most sacred confidences are
safe In his keeping.
Into this confidence and this responsibility the faker, uncultured,
•ntralned and mercenary is hammering and bawling for admittance!
He Is the fool who would rush in where angels fear to tread. A la
mentable process of racial degeneration might evolve a more despic
able speciment, but happily that stage has not yet arrived. Aud un
kapplly his entire elimination is something still to be achieved.

you sit around the fire and talk of
me and how lonesome you all are.
Take good care of the darlings and

DYING WOMAN REHEARSES FUNERAL
DETROIT, June 29—Scorning
the death she knows to be surely
and certainly approaching, accept
ing the doctors' verdict that she
has at most but a few weeks to live,
Mrs. Ed G. Markhoff, 38 years old.
has not only planned her own funer
al, picked out her pallbearers, se
lected the hymns and Scripture she
wants used, named the priest and
appointed all the other little details
for her funeral, but has called a
dress rehearsal of all those who
will take part in the obsequies in
order that when they are called
upon to play their parts in earnest
there may be no stumbling or fall
ing in their lines.
Eight months ago Mrs. Markhoff,
then a robust woman weighing 100
pounds, was taken ill with tuber
culosis of the stomach, which event
ually spread to her lungs. Gradual
ly she has grown weaker until now
she can sit up but a few minutes at
a time and then only with great ef
fort. The doctors have told her
there is no hope.
1 "When I die I want to lie in a
white draped casket, in a white
dress. The entire room is to be
draped in white, with a special
drapery about my picture," she
says. "Eight candles are to burn
above my bier until it is carried
from the house. The 4 horses that
draw the hearse are to be draped
and the carriage lights lit.
"My body is to be conveyed to St.
Peter and Paul's church, where a
solemn high mass will be celebrated
and my body taken to the cemetery
and interred in a cement grave.
Then I want my pallbearers and my
friends to walk solemnly from the

She hurriedly scribbles a line while
her partner is waiting tor a dance.
Dearest Boy: How lonesome it
is. The hours are tediously pass

so busy I am too tired to write, and
yesterday I did not get time, but
you know I am constantly thinking
of you. We know that you would
like to be with your wife and babies
—Just us alone. You dislike com
pany so much I never entertain, al
though owe much in that line. Of
course I don't go anywhere while
you are away and am living as eco
nomically as possible so that you
may have one of those nice flshtng
trips next summer. I don't want
any frivolous expense of mine to
stand in the way of your having a
much needed rest. The children

day about you, dear. I must stop
now and see that they are safely in

Confusion, instead of Colonel
Crust, reigned on board the pirate
ship when Robert made his depart

council. A town meeting was
called and Robert was given a rous->
