The following clipping, taken from the NEW YORK TRIBUNE, illustrates the growing distrust of drugs, even among physicians. It is the experience of a man prominent in his profession. He says:
Doctors, as well as priests, are subject to these periods of depression in which they question the efficacy of their own judgment. In such a mood, while I was superintendent of l' Hospital de——, I divided the treatment of the wards. In the one I exercised the best medical skill that the aid of drugs could afford; in the other I only save as medicine a little acrid water. This experiment I continued for a month with equally good nursing in both wards."
"Well, with what results?" said his listener.
