"There's one of the best witnesses in town," said an attorney, pointing to Dr. Swa^ford, who was driving past. "Get him on the witness stand and its a hard thing to get a contradictory statement out of him. It generally doesn't require much medical information on the part of a lawyer to confuse a physician who is giving so-called espert testimony. When an attorney knows he is going to cross examine a doctor he generally reads up a little on the disease or point under discussion. But you can't confuse Doc Swafford if you do understand the thing pretty well. Dr. Link is the best witness of all the city physicians and Dr. Knowles is a good one too." -1

THEORY AND PRACTICE. There is a vast difference between theory and practice. Theory is a picture drawn by the Imagination, aa eternal, ethereal mildness, spotless canopy of bine with not so much ss a flicker of varying wind. Practice is the forceful kick of a mu'e against the barb-wire fence of public opinion. Theory is advice when you are hungry practice is beefsteak. The theory that there are other sewing machines better than the White is ss the shadow of vacancy our practice of white treatment is ss beetetesk to our dealers,—they live on it—they thrive on it, and because of their lusty thrift they cry stood with as •The Whit© is King."
