THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JUNE 2, 1895. 7 THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, Perhaps and Boreas the Only Favorites That Won Out. MR. JINGLE SURPRISES THEM. April Won the Hurdle Race, but Was Disqualified for Losing Weight. Entered to be sold for $400 imp. Ivy was bia up to $800, at which fignre her owner retained ber. There was little or no demand for the horses of J. Talbot Clifton when put up to be sold at Killip & Co’s sale yesterday, and after two of the animals had been bid in the sale was de- clared off. Goodwin Bros. of New York, publishers of the official turf guide, will shortly publish a | book that is & novelty of its kind, that must certainly interest all of a speculative turn of mind, especially those with a leaning toward the turf. The title of the book in question is “‘How to Win or Lose Money on a Small Cap- i1al” Initis treated the different “systems” ©f beating the horses, as well as an exhaustive treatise on handicapping and the art of book- making. This very nseful aid to the turfman will be issued both cloth and paper bound, the former costing $215 and the paper cover $1 10, which includes postage. Bookmaker George Rose flooded the ring with money to bet on his horse Boreasin the third race yesterday. He took down the money aiter the race, but it was not the horse’s fault. With Miss Buckley practically beaten by the flag, Chevalier on Miss Ruth put up a ride tnat was simply disgraceful if not criminal. Away second, he let every horse in the race pass him, end then made a bungling ride through the stretch, finishing second on & better horse than the winner. The diminishing attendance shows that the public will not tolerate forever the racing we have been having of late, and they are not to be blamed. When a filly of Miss Ruth’s caliber is beaten in 1:1924 for the seven furlongs there is a board off the fence that needs nailing up. The same Saturday crowd paid a visit to istrict track yesterday, possibly barring a few that attended on the pre- vious Saturday and had not as yet received their weekly remittance. The bookies treated the talent with every hospitality in the opening event of the day, but after that it was a case of “do, did, my huckle- berry,” which, added to John Merrill’s long delays at the post, made it one of the most hungry, sorrowiul, empty-pocketed- looking crowds that ever passed out through the gates. Merrill’s starting has been very good, but if he himself would not be so critical and would drop his flag to some one of the many good breakaways that occurin the early stages while the horses are at the post the public would not grow impatient and his starting would command much higher praise. The first handicap of the day which happened to open the card, a five-furlong spin for two-year-olds, opened very auspi- ciously for the betting fraternity, for they landied on Perhaps, making him 2 13 to 5 favorlte, and after a delay of nearly half an hour at the post, he got away in front, and leading all the way won by a length and a half from imp. Santa Bellaat 9 to 2 lrlx }lac betting. Her Majesty was a good third. The first real good hard bump they re- ceived was in the mile and a_ sixteenth handicap. Nothing but Charmion would do, and g'om 7 to 5 she was hammered down to 7 to 10. McLight enjoyed the E sition of second choice with threes about im. Some few scattering wagers were made on Mr. Jingle, cuttiog his price down a couple of points from 10 to 1. ‘When the field was dispatched, Garcia went to the front, heading the field past the half, where Charmion had worked to the front and was heading into the stretch, with Mr. Jingle second. Less than an eighth from the wire the latter had Shaw at the bat on Charmion and in a mile drive Mr. Pickwick’s son won cleverly bya length. Little Cripple came fast at the finish and was second, but half a length back of the favorite. cLight was promi- nent until straightened for home, when he died away. Imp. Ivy fell into a soft spot in the sec- ond event, a race for non-winners in 1895 at six furlongs. She opened in the bettin, at 8 to 5, but Silver State was such a goo thing, being backed down from 11to 5 to 8 to 5, that the odds against the Australian mare went back to4 to 1. The haudsome bay mare from the land of the SBouthern \Cross won as she pleased, a length in front of Silver State. Little Tough, a 5 to 1 shot, was third. After opening favorite at 8to5 for the third race, a seven-furlong run, the price against Miss Ruth receded to5 to 2. Boreas was pounded down from 2to 1 to 6to5. Miss Buckley was well supported at 13 to 5. Boreas was away from the post first and staid there, winning by a length and a half from Miss kut.h, who finished five lengths ahead of Miss Buckley. Going to the J!O!t a7 to 5 favorite for the two-mile hurdle race, April galloped around in front of his field, winning as_he liked; but as his rider dropped his saddle- pad after going a mile and three-eighths and weighed in two pounds short of weight, he was disqualified and the race given to Mero, who, coupled with his stable companion, Relampago, was sec- ond choice in the books at 2 to 1. Lonnie Bh .tgok second money and Relampago third. Following out the order of the day, the 7 to 5 favorite Rico finished second to the gray mare Nellie G in the last race, a short six-furlong dash. With 6 to 1 against her, she was first away, and won in a gallogoby four lengths, the favorite finishing about the same distance in front of Road Runner, MULHOLLAND. SUMMARY.

The slyest of human schemes, being "but mortal, are liable to failure. Thisis the story of a deep-laid design for self-glorifi- cation that came back like a boomerang and demoralized its contriver. The de- tails are known to only a few, but the joke is a good one, and musicians all over the city are laughing at the expense of a cer- tain little music-teacher called R. A. Lucchesi. Mr. Lucchesi is the man who devised the before-mentioned scheme, hoping thereby to gain a little cheap notoriety. Lucchesi for nearly a quarter of a century has filled a humble niche in thiscommunity by endeavoring to train the young idea of San Francisco in the rudiments of the soothing art of music. During that time he has watched the city grow up and has never wandered afield for new musical inspiration. Other local musicians have strayed away to New York, Paris, Berlin and Milan and have come back with re- ports of new compo sers, new virtuosi, new singers and new conductors, but Lucchesi has watched them go and watched them come with sublime indifference. What does a man want with new musical ideas when he has the advantage of associating with the immature minds of adolescent pupils? But though Lucchesi gave out all the music that was in his soul, by teachin, and plaving and composing, the universa fame for which he ;ame never became his. In fact the goddess of local fame roved a slippery elf and passed him , while some of 'the younger musicians San Francisco beganto be heard of as far off as Europe. This invidious distinction rankled in the soul of the ambitious music-teacher, and he tried to adjust things a little by saying spiteful things of local musicians in” the pages of a weekly paper. me of the slings and arrows that Lucchesi hurled at San Francisco’s leading musicians whenever they ventured into the open and gave a concert had enough poison in them to kill any man or woman ‘who was not incased in armor, but in this instance, like the audience who heard the anathemas’against the jackdaw of Rheims, “Nobody seemed one penny the worse.” The only results of the criticisms were that brotherly love did not prevail toward the teacher-critic. But Lucchesi was not to be balked of fame if he could helpit. He cast his eyes toward a neat little paper entitled the ‘California Musical Journal” and deter- mined to use it for his own ends. To its editor, Professor F. J. Zifferer, he unfolded a scheme which he fondly hoped would entwine laurels round his shining brow. Lucchesi offered to supply the Journal with a puzzle scale, to which local and foreign musicians were to send in constructions. Professor Zifferer accepted this offer, and the puzzle scale was pub- lished in the Journal. Now the name Lucchesi would have acted like a “Don’t-walk-on-our-grass’’ no- tice if it had been appended to &xe puzzle, but as the little music teacher was un- known in the proceedings a number of prominent musicians entered gayly into the fun of the competition and ‘sent in their harmonizations, among them being Xavier Sckarwenka, a man who possesses something like universal fame. The other musicians who contributed harmonizations were: Messrs. Adelung, Bosworth, Barth, Buck, De Kontski, Delle- piane, Eckmann, Hodmeyer, Edgar Still- man Kelley, Lejeal, Metcalf, Pratt, Rose- wald, Joseph Roeckel, Schmidt, Sauvlet, Schmitz and Vogt, and Mme. Coursen- Roeckel. _Some of the contribntions were pub- lished in the May number of the Journal, in which appeared also this vague and ominous notice: *“It is not our intention to criticize these harmonizations, but we leave it to others.” Who were the others? None of the musicians knew, but had their astral bodies followed their MSS. they would have learned that Lucchesi was the “others.” He it was who had the task of criticizing the harmonizations, He took three weeks to sit in judgment, like a modern Draco, on the MSS. and, when he had conclude: his work, it was good in his own eyes. To an impartial observer it was interesting, not as a piece of musical criticism, but as showing , to the last degree Lucchesi’s friendship or enmity toward the compet- itors. ‘When Lucchesi’s magnum opus was com]pleted Professor Zifferer was shy abont publishing it in his Musical Journal. It might cover Lucchesi with laurels, but how about the Journal? 8o, though the criti- cism of *‘others” had been promised, it was withheld from the readers of the Journal. Lucchesi, however, did notsigh over this, 87 BI T8 952 Gold Dust, 108 (L. Lloyd). 7% 17 8 Good start. Won easily. Time, 1:1613. Win- ner, b. m., by imp. Castor-Veneration. Be!.tll_![(: lmp.

It has gone home again with the headline ‘‘Rejected!” stamped on its brow, and Lucchesi is ndering over the problem of how he can g:ing it before the eyes of the world. Can he gnblmh a magazine and call it “Qthers?’ Can he start a little paper and publish his bitterness by the column?

Mills Will Be Bullt and Flour Manu- factured at Half the Present Cost. Articles of incorporation of the Wor!d’s Christian Co-operation Society were placed on file yesterday. The society is only about sixty days old, yet in that short period it has gained a foothold in labor circles not yet attained by organizations many months its senior. One reason for the popularity of this society is found in the fact that it is fol- lowing a path hitherto untrodden by the great socialistic leaders, and that is co- operation with Christianity as the founda- tion-stone, Already there is a member- ship of over sixty in the San Francisco society and two enthusiastic members have made a princely donation of some- thing like 20,000 acres of land for the ex- clusive use of the society. “This society shall consist exclusively of professed Christian men and women and famines,” said Secretary Lasley yesterday. “All members who contribute equal time in work to which they are appointed shall share equally in the results and profits of ali labor and income. The object and in- tent of this society is to put into practice Christian_co-operation as a_plain Bible truth. We shall bear in mind that the greatest duty of Christians is to evangelize the unsayed. To thisend we have planned to provide for members in soul, In body flnE in mind. Qur principle is to trust in God and be ‘delighted in business’ and to *do with others as we would that others should do unto us.’ “First of all we shall build a flour and grist mill of 1000 barrels of flour capacity a day, and fifty or more double-oven bakeries to bake the product of the mill into bread, cakes and pies. These bakeries will be combined with 100 or more restau- rants with sale counters for the sale of the products of the bakeries and other ne- ce: sities of life. The originator of this ciety is the discoverer of a cheap process for the manufacture of flour whereby the expense of machinery is much diminished, the production of flour greatly simplified and the cost of manufacture lessened. “The society has the opportunity now to purchase thousands of acres of good farm- ing, fruit, grazing and timber lands at a fair price_and without interest. Besides this President Wilderman and William McCrindle of Oakland have already do- nated to the society by free gift 10,000 acreseach. Thesociety's prospectusreads: Thus the the society is now the sole owner of 20,000 acres of fine land, which is equal to thirty-one squere miles and 160 acres of land. The only restriction to the gift of land is that the society shall not sell the land. It isalways to remain the property of this society. The society shall settle on the lands and improve as they decide for the society’s sole benefit,and may use it as security toobtain money to assist deserving people. This land is highly valuable, being well wa- tered for stock, and if never an acre of it were plowed it would yield a handsome income from stock-raising and bee-culture. One of our in- corporators, Mr. Robert Bruce Roseberry, is both a scientific and practical bee-culturist. He has & passion for the business. Abundance of wild honey demonstra es that it isa bee aradise. Besides, not far distant, there is a e ranch of about 600 acres covered with bee- hives. from which meny carloads of honey are shipped every year. The climate is almost per- petual spring. The land is located east of En- senada, Lower California. The west line of the Bropertg is but six miles east of the town of nsenada, the seaport of the district. It is only sixty-five miles south of San Diego, Cal, The temperature averages 77 dég. in summer and 56 deg. in winter. The soil is of a varied nature, well adapted to grow all fruits, vegeta- bles and grains which can be grown in the climate of Southern California. ‘We propose to secure 1000 members, though we shall commence business when the mem- bership reaches 250. The first $100,000 will be invested as follows: Flour and grist mill (1000 barrels per twenty-four hours). ...$ 11,000 Land (for mill, dairy, stock pens, and chicken ranch)... 12,000 bushels of wheat 50'double-oven bakeries (compiete with capacity for twenty barrels of fi day of twenty-four hours). . 100 eating-houses, with sale-ci bread, pies and other eatables. Groceries and vegetables Lo start restaur- Ruts. 00 i 4z 1,000 10 delivery wagons and teams. 2,000 milch cows at $30 each..... 6,000 100 beeves, $20 each. 100 hogs, $10 each. 500 muttons, 81 50 Teams and seed for Rents (first month).. Total..... eseeees By this plan of management, which includes the baking of our own product of flour, we make our own mazket for our 1000 barrels per day, thus uvin%expanxe of commissions on sale of flour and bran, also freights, amoun in all to at least 30 cents per barrel, or per day for our members. There will be about 40,000 pounds of bran per day. This we shall use to feed our milch cows, beef cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry in a moistened condition. The wool and hides from our slaughtered cattle and sheep we shall manufacture into clothing and boots and shoes. Thus, with our vegetables and fruits, milk end honey, beet, pork, mutton, poultry, lard, tallow, buiter, cheese, eggs, etc., for the consumption of our members at actual cost of production and for sale to the general public at a fair profit, we will have advantages not ejoyed by any Gther individuals or assoclation. 'he general collector and general treasurer are required to five bonds in such an amount as the board of directors shall from time to time specify. Though this property has been given us we shall probably locate our first mill within fifty miles of Ban Francisco, at some point having the best facilities for cheap trans- gzrmfinn, and where acreage lands can be ught on which to locate a townsite. Weshall have our s pens and dairy and poultry ranches within easy reach of the mill, to con- sume mill products other than flour. There shall be a board of discipline, to consist of three members, none of whom shall be a di- rector of the society. The duties of this board shall be to try cases of unchristian conduct on the part of any member, and impose such pen- alty as it shall deem necessary. This board shall have :nuxong to expel ‘a member for gross flhmn&uc&. omweveir,‘;ay &ember may a] rom the decision of ard to board of directors. - Eight hours shall constitute a day’s labor, and only when work is pressing will any mem: ber be permitted to labor more than eight hours out of the twenty-four for the society. If at any time productive work should be scarce, for a short season, as far as possible the hours will be shortened, so that all who desire to 1abor shall share alike in the privilege. In our several lines of business we shall endeavor to equalize the work, 50 that all members may have constant employment. A suitable monogram button will be worn by every member of the society to designate them as members. Did Not Understand His Constituents. “Many years ago,” remarked an ol Kentucky “wheelhorse, “I enrineeredo fl Congressional race for a friend of mine, and during my labors in his behalf 1 goé away off in ncount;,v where I was a good deal of a stranger, and my candidate more so. As I rode along one afternoon L met a couvle of natives and we journeyed to- ether for a mile or two, and got to talking *'You know him?" asked the man of ou kn e man two who did the talking, e “ ‘Yes, and he’sa good man.’ - “ ‘We ain’t Foin‘ to vote fer him.’ " ‘wah noth’ rd he had a bo! * ‘Well, we hee; e a bottle stickin’ outen his saddle-bags, and werid ten miles to see if hit was so. “You found it was, didn’t you,” I asked phret.” confident, for I had coached him on that “+Qh, yes,’ and the man laughed kind of a laugh. _ Ce ““That’s not against a man, is it?” I asked, not knowing exactly 'what was wr?x;‘g, t,hl:mg':a I_;n& s?t:m:z ing was. *“*No,’ he hes . ‘but we ain’ k to vote fer him.” e “‘Well, you ought to have some reason for not voting,’ I said, getting a degree warmer. s *¢ ‘Reason!” he fairly snorted; ‘ain’t we ot reason!

They Sell Bogus Chickamauga Relics to Northern Visitors. A war relic that has been fondly cher- ished by Walter H. Durfee of this city, says the Providence Journal, turns out to be a fraud. Mr. Durfee has discovered that his supposed memento of the battle of Chickamauga is a common, everyday sort of an oak tree, which, even if it was standing so long ago as the time of the war, may never have been under tire. He is certain that the choice collection of rifle balls, solid shot and fragments of shells that are imbedded in the old trunk were inserted there by some skillful worker in wood. The tree, which is live oak, is about twenty feet long and is stripped of its branches. In various positions through- out its length there are twenty-five rifle balls, two pieces of solid shot and twelve fragments of shells. It was purchased of two old farmers in Chattanooga last December by a friend of Mr. Durfee and shipped to ‘this city. The farmers very innocently said they had cut this tree, as well as several other specimens they had, from & position in the vicinity of the famous battlefield. The two men did a_comparatively ex- tensive business. Mr. Durfee accidentally made a discovery while r:;mirinz the broken top of his tree Saturday. He in- tended boring a hole lengthwise in the trunk and inserting an iron rod to fasten the broken piece. He chanced to loosen one of the rifle balis and looking into the opening that was left, the whole story was reveales. The hole was Rerfectly cut with an auger and the small hole made by the point of the auger was unmistakable. Further investigation showed that the solid shot were also inserted in holes care- fully cut outand some of the other rifle balls were removed with a similar result. #:The man who did the work was an artist. Places were chosen for the insertion of the solid shot and shell where the bark had been broken and had subsequently grown partially over the place, so l‘lmt, when the ATl Eri el sk S B e atance gave the impression that a growth of years surrounded the metal. Pieces of bark had also been ground and broken and inserted in the fine chinks to increase the ancient appearance. The work shown in fixing up the tree must have required 2 man over a week to accomplish, and in the result one may be excused for being deceived. DIVIDING UP AFRIOA. A Flourishing Nation Threatened by France and England. The Upper Nile Valley, which consti- tutes one of the bones of contention be- tween the powers, is comparatively well known as the seat of the waning power of the Mahdi and his army of dervishes. Its importance is insignificant, however, compared with the rich and populous states lying east of the Niger and around Lake Chad. Few white men have pene- trated to these regions, vet sufficient is known of the country to make it worth striving for. During and immediately after the season of tropical rains Lake Chad, on the border of the Sahara, is probably the largest body of fresh water in the world. The geographer, Reclus, has estimated its area to comprise 83,900 square kilometers, as against 81,000 square kilometers as- signed to Lake Superior and the Albert Nyanza, respectively. Bornu, Bagirmi, Adamwa and several other states lying on Lake Chad or along the banks of its trib- utary rivers; and comprised in the region known as hausalans cover an area of 500,000 square miles, dotted with numer- ous towns and populated by millions of industrious and }&nly civilized inhab- itants. The Hausas have made considerable ad- vances in some of the industrial arts, notably in weaving and in working in leather and metals.” They are fine agricul- turists and breeders of an excellent strain of horses. It is impossible to state the population of Hansaflud with any degree of accuracy, but it is probably an under- statement to place the number of per- sons who speak the Hausa lanfimge at 15.000,000. 1t is one of the richest and most cultivated languages of Africa, and is not only the vernacular where the Hau- sas live, but is the lingua franca in a wide region beyond its own home. Itisdom- inant on the Guinea coast and is spoken by the traders who come with caravans across the great desert to Tunis and Trip- oli on the Mediteranean. It would be unutterably disgraceful, how- ever, if two supposedly enlightened nations like France and England should uproot this flower of civilization which has sprouted upon African soil in an unjusti- iable. squabble for territorial domain.— Philadelphia Record. ————— The Political Rivalry of Alf and Bob. *A good story is told concerning the famous campaigll‘l between Bob and Alf Taylor for the Tennessee Governorship a few years since,” said Colonel William A. Henderson. “Bob foresaw that he would surely defeat Alif in the race, and so, to add zest to the debate, he invented a fable which he told at Alf's expense. It was this: On one occasion a coon who was very thirsty came to a well, out of which the water had to be drawn by a bucket attached to either end of a rope on a wind- lass. The coon fell into the Elan of get- ting into the empty well-bucket, and, by means of bis own weight, descending to the water below. 5 “Once down in the well it dawned on Mr. Coon that_there was no way by which he could again: raise himself out of the well. ‘While pondering over the problem he es- pied an opossom on the mouth of the well. ‘Come down and get a drink,’ said Mr. Coon to Mr. Opossom. ‘Thanks, I believe I will,” and the opossom entered the empty bucket at the top of the well. As he start- ed down the coon started up, and as the buckets passed midway of the well the coon remarked : ‘The world goes round and round, And some go up and some go down. ““Bob won in therace. Onelection night he telegraphed this couplet to Alf as a eting over the result. Four years went y and Bob wound up his last term as Governor and retired from the arena of public life.

BWashington Post. A Millionaire’s Park. Mr. Rhodes has, in the language of the g}ny' ‘“‘gone one better’’ than the Count of onte Cristo, to whom enthusiastic scribes have compared him when describing his magnificent estate on the slopes of Table Mountain, At “Groote Schuur” Mr, Rhodes hasa museum of Cape Dutch curios and Matabele relics such as none but he could have procured. He has a glen car- peted with figungm, a garden of which great violet banks are a feature, and six miles of avenues commanding magnificent views. More than these, he has an im- mense preserve for ‘big game,” including the lions and fast-disappearing antelopes in which South Africa used to abound. In all this Mr. Rhodes merely follows the natural bent of a millionaire endowed with imagination. Where he has surpassed Monte Cristo is in ‘z!ving all his well-con- ducted neighbors the right to enjoy his magnificent estate as much as himsell. He has, in fact, 5“-9 the Mayor of Cape Town the right to distribute keys, admitting the holders to his grounds, besidesliberally dispensing similar privileges to his nearer neighbors. Another_gift to Cape Town is a statue toits first Dutch Governor, Van Riebeck. This munificence should do much to mitigate the envy that a million- aire’s wealth must occasionally inspire in the breasts of less fortunate mortals.—Lon- don Graphic. NEW TO-DAY. THE MOST RELIABLE All They Say or Do Can Be Depended Upon. Physicians of Integrity, Men Who Pre- fer Honor to Money. In nearly all walks of human life one meets with persons who, to use & homely phrase, cannot do right. Try as you will, do as you can, these people are bent on being always wrong. They are ever bringing contempt or disgust on the profession or calling with which they are attached. Physicians are no exception to this rule. It has been brought to the notice of the specialists representing the HUDSON MEDICAL INSTI- TUTZ that a few unprincipled doctors have trav- eled throngh the Paclfic Coast misrepresenting and making false promises to every one. Many of these physicians, we are told, try to scare people to death. Tley endeavor to make people belleve they are suffering from diseascs an honest, scien- tific examination would prove to be false. This is serious. It is to be regretted. These doctors are really doing more Larm than good; they are vio- lating the laws of decency, honesty and professional conduct. These doctors should always be exposed. Luckily, all men are not fools, they can tell an honest man as soon as they see him. The specialists of the HUDSON MEDICAL IN- STITUTE wigh it to be understood that no one is pressed to take the treatment when calling on the doctors. After the examination and advice has been made and given the patient may go out of the consulting-rooms and say nothing about taking treatment. Each one Is ailowed to decide for him- self. 1f you take treatment it will cost you only & moderate sum and all remedies will be furnished free. Call and prove these facts for your own satis- faction. No one will be pressed to take treatmeit: no one will be told they are on the verge of the grave; no one will be frightened to death. All can come and freely receive the best medical advice procurable on the Pacific Coast. AT THE INSTITUTE, What the Specialists Are Doing Daily to Restore Health and Strength to Sufferers. Itisan established rule of the institute that no incurable diseases are taken. If an applicant is found to be suffering from true cancer or tubercu- lar consumption he, is frankly told that he cannot be cured, though much may be done to allay his sufferings; but as medical science has yet failed to discover any cure for these two dreadful maladies all the physicians at the Institute say freely and frankly that v is beyond human power to re- move these evils. Nevertheless it should not be forgotten that there are very many instances where mistakes have been made in diagnosing these dis- eages, 0 it is well for ALL sufferers to apply for help at the institute. All the following cases are curable: Catarrh of the head, stomach or blad- der; all bronchial diseases; all func- tional nervous diseases ; St. Vitus’ dance; hysteria; shaking palsy; epilepsy; all venereal diseases ; all kinds of syphilitic troubles; gonorrhcea; venereal ulcers; wastes of vital forces; rheumatism; gout; eczema; all skin diseases from whatever cause arising; psoriasis; all blood poisoning; varicocele; poison oak; lost or impaired manhood ; spinal troubles ; nervous exhaustion and pros- tration; inciplent paresis; all kidney diseases ; lumbago ; sciatica troubles; dyspepsia; indigestion; con- stipation; all visceral disorders which are treated by the depurating depart- ment. Special instruments for bladder troubles. These are & few of the special diseases in which exceptionally remarkable cures have been made by the specialists, and it may frankly be stated that a helping hand is extended to every patient.
