MOST MEDICINE USELESS Dr. Know Its Small Value. PREVENTION Pathologists Are Given Credit for Big Advances Made in Healing. IS THE FEATURE *He is the best physician who Knows the worthlessness of medl- eine,” quoted Prof. William Osler of Oxford University, ngiand, toward the close of his lecture to the Patho- logical Society at the Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia. Dr. Osler denounced. the public mealth service of this country, deCTir- ing it is far below that in Greal Bri- gain. In speaking for the use of few- er drugs, he 1 there is far too much dosing by physicians and not enough correct diagnoses. Prof. Osler said the world had more to hope for: from the work of this very pathological society than medicines. the same hospital where they were now, 50 years ago, the discoveries. of the pathologist revolutionized the practice of medicine. Up to that time there had been but tittle advances in the practice of medi- gine since the days when disease was regarded as the manifestation of an evil spirit that had to be exorcised, or bad blood, that had to be released by’ the lancet. Now, thanks to the whese duty it is to know the reason of every disease and its cause, re- moves the cause. Dr. Osler province of the physician has become pace of prevention quite as much or more than one of cure. Who would rave thought only 10 years ago, he ached, that malaria and yellow fever eould be prevented and their cure made unneeessary? The discovery bereulosis had brought that dread disease by had brought fresh air ar i pathologist, no for drugs, iiet. cure but PARTIAL HOME RULE for Ireland Presented in British Pariiament.

They object to giving | Ireland the management of many de- | partments of local affairs, while Irish members of the House of Com- mons retain the right to legislate in similar affairs in England and Scot- land. They criticize also the plan of government by a council, through eight committees as complicated and cumbersome. The Radicals are disappointed that the measure fails so far short of ac- tual home rule, and the Irish mem- ie bers are even more disappointed with | Irish leaders, however, are maintaining a diplomatic attitude un- til they have had time to study the provisions of the bill and learn the sentiment of the people. #.

Below Larkin street, where a number of new buildings are under construction, the cars were bombard- ed by bricks, stones, bits of iron and pieces of scantling. At the same time a large gang of men and boys behind a sign board ‘on the opposite side of the street threw bricks and stones. Unicn pickeds went mob, imploring them not to stones. They .were jeered.
