More than 125 delegates representing organizations la New York, Philadel phia and cities of the sooth sod mid die west assembled In the Hudson the ater In New York the other afternoon to form a national body to light against delotprions proprietary medicines, quack ui dical Institutes and kindred evils, says the New York Son. Deputy State Attorney Eugene CDunne of Balti more suggested that the organisation be called the Public Health Defense league, and this nam. was adopted. Austen G. Fox presided. President McGowan of the board of aldermen welcomed the delegates to New York for Mayor McClellan, who was unable to be present, and Mgr. Larelle of St ratrick's cathedral, speaking for Arch bishop Farley, said that anything that the clergy and laity of the Catholic . church in America could do to help on the crusade would gladly be done. Many of the delegates were women. Mrs. Martha M. Allen,' bead of the de partment of medical temperance of the W. C T TJ-. mad. an addreaa. The longest speech and the one that caught the audience the most was made by Charles F. Stuart, a reporter for the Cleveland News. Mr. Stuart told now bis city editor called blm up one day and told him to get after the quacks of Cleveland "regardless of ex pense." "First, I went to two big physicians of Clereland," began Mr. Stuart, "and told them to go through me with a dark lantern. They said there was nothing the matter with me except a little bronchial affection due to ciga rettes. Then under an assumed nam. I visited every tldveVtlslng quack In town. I didrit giro them a. list of fake symptoms, because even a repu ta "1 physician now present could b Jooled that way. Laugh ter.J "First I called on on. with whiskers. They all have Mxlskers, yknow,. but somehow or other this fellow's whli kers didn't gee with the whiskers In bis pictures published with his adver tisements. He said I could be cured of stomach, liver, lung, kidney and other diseasesall of which be discovered 1 bad for $50. I Jewed him down to S3, and then be took me Into s department with a name on toe door a yard, long, stretched me on a table, and while be began to massage me he turned on a lot of -fake machinery and colored lrhts that had the aurora borealla fadtsl Ibut say, I never made A ch in my life, and J don't know Letter I'm making good.

Suddenly I asked blm for a guarantee that I would be cured of all the dis eases he had found. " 'You're almost half cured now,' said the 'doctor,' but when I insisted that I must have a written guarantee he handed me one. finally that said I would be cured of what do you think I 'Prostatic nephritis! Now, If any doc tor here can tell me what the what prostatic nephritis" la I'd be glad to be Interrupted. Laughter. I asked the quack what It was, and he said. That phrase covers all the other diseases.' Can you beat It? Also their private drug stores are the greatest system of graft In existence. "After my paper had sent me the rounds of the city we scourged them right and left and called them robbers, cheats and everything else by name. By that crusade we put out of busi ness, at least so far as Cleveland was concerned. Arms that had been spend ing $80,000 a year for postage stamps alone and whose annual business was over $000,000." "It Is time the community began to realize the evil that threatens it," said Chairman Austen Fox. "Exposure of quacks and quack medicines may put one or two out of business, but what we need is laws that will make these offenses punishable by fines and im prisonment And, as the English say, It's doggednesa as does It,' we need to go at them doggedly not only In a local way, but national as well. I don't be lieve the enforcement of criminal law should be placed In the hands of pri vate organisations, but the organiza tions can wag. the fight to bring the sponsors of these abuses to justice. ' "Our great power will be the press. Heretofore the press has been the most recreant to Its duty. It Is generally be, lleved here that you must make your self solid with the press, but now I feel sure the newspapers are ashamed of their part In thee matters." , Thomas W. Barlow of Philadelphia spoke principally of the work done by Anthony Comstock for the promotion of sweetness and light In New York, and later Mr. Comstock took the floor and spoke In the same strain. No specific legislation was discussed. Th sol. purpose of th. conference as embodied, In the blanket resolutions that were adopted was to form a na tional body to fight not only quackery. tak im th Mnu f im i.CL. .a .r - - j t era ted foods, "to work for the aullght- mmtnl Af ttim tMi mm ait momi. . : rscung tuese subjects, to work for th. enactment of laws for the protection Of and breserratloa of the public health andnjorals. ?: rv - - ; - r- An Innoratlon has been introduced In Parisian social circles, according to a special' cable dispatch to the Chicago later -Ocean from Paris.
