associates of B. Sanders Walker are
assuring Macon that the work of de
velopment conceived and conducted
so far with success by t
young real estate operator
bp ended by his death, which oc
curred Thursday morning
After the first shock of grief at
Walker’s tragic end. business Macon
paused to wonder what would be the
economic signifi ante of his death.
For Sanders Walker, barely 30 years
old, had worked wonders with Macon
real estate, and was held to be re
sponsible mainly for several marvel-
oua bits of suburban development and
for the promise of a greater develop
ment. His achievements were little
short of Napoleonic.
Popular Socially.
Socially he was the most, popular
young man in Macon. His credit was
extensive and his heavy life insurance,
of something more than $150,000. It
1s estimated, served largely as collat
eral for further credit.
Sanders Walker came to Macon
about five years ago, a very young
man, with the glamour of a success
ful career in college athletics still
clinging freely to his name. He en
tered the new- Citizens' National Bank,
just organized hv Rugene Stetson,
himself a young college man.
Withdrew From Bank.
Two years later he withdrew from
the bank and entered the real estate
business. He had adopted Macon and
Macon him. A real love story was
that of his courtship and marriage of
beautiful Marie Stephens, tin* daugh
ter of W. (’. Stephens, of Macon. His!
home was known to be the happiest
and the brightest in th«- city, with
Sanders Walker, Jr., now 4 years old.

glowing world was that which

Walker Returns.
Thursday night. May lf>. Sanders
Walker came home after a tiresome,
exacting business trip to North Geor
gia. The excitement of the trip wore
off when he relaxed at home, and a
ragged headache came to him. At
at>out 3 o’clock in the morning, alone
In the house, he awoke, the pain in
his head ragieg. He went to the medi
cine chest, and groped in the dark for
the box of asperin tablets that he
knew was there. He found it. ex
tracted a tablet, and swallowed it.
It was a misplaced biobolrlde tablet
Almost every city interviewed its
own medical men to ask them whai
they would do, and what they
thought. Sanders Walker's tragic,
lingering was the most enthralling
atTair of the nation.
There were no melodramatic utter
ances from the chamber of the
doomed man. his physicians say.
Newspaper accounts ascribing to him
more than one thrilling statement
they denounce as unfounded. Instead,

time before the end Walker looked

Getting His Goat.
'This thing is getting my goat,” the
physician related as his words.
Walker suffered no pain during the
time, according to his physicians, and
little actual discomfort. But he said
little and lay quietly during all the
time. .
Reports which have been spread by
the pnss of other sections that Walk
er was enormously wealthy were un
founded. according to those who know
of his affairs. He was prosperous,
and because of his real estate opera
turns he held the promise of ultimate
wealth. But his fortune was nothing

Pelky Is Astonished.
Pelky made . the following state- '
ment:
“I scarcely thought the bout had | i
started when the end came.’ I was j j
putting little or no force behind my j'
blows, for Tommy Burns wanted me I
to gete a line on McCarty, as we!
knew practically nothing of his form
because of his private workouts. I
was the most surprised man in the \
arena when McCarty fell.”
The Rev. Dr. Harold Walker, an
athletic parson, made an address be
fore the main bout, in which he de
clared he liked boxing and saw noth
ing brutal in the sport. He pointed
to McCarty as the white heavyweight
champion of the world and to Pelky,
the man "who, by his skill and
strength, will, if he can, be world's
champion after this bout.”
His strange prophecy came true,
though by a quicker, sadder route
than the parson had anticipated. H
was a personal friend of McCarty an l
was greatly shocked by the outcome.
Had Stomach Trouble.
Billy McCarney. manager of Mc
Carty. stated that Luther had had
stomach trouble for a week previous
to the bout. Stomach tablets were
taken by the boxer with bad effect,
and he was compelled to lay off front
heavy training for two days last week.
McCarney staved that 30 seconds be
fore the fall McCarty struck a crouch
ing position, such as he uses in deliv
ering an uppercut, and had winked at
McCarney in his corner.
The crowd was the biggest that has
ever attended a boxing b»ut in West
ern Canada, there being over 6.500
paid admissions. The best of order
prevailed until McCarty fell, after
which all was disorder.
Dr. Aull, one of the physicians who
attended McCarty, declared after tm-
death of the Champion that he had
kept close track of all the blows
struck and that not one blow of
enough power to do any damage had
been landed and that Pelky was not
In any way responsible for the death
of McCarty.
All physicians unite in declaring
death was due to heart trouble and
not to any blow, although admitting
j that Petky’g thrust to the heart
; capped the climax, as the heart then
was almost bursting with biood caused
by the excitement.
MH arty came into the arena during
the second preliminary* and sat at the
press table with the newspaper men,
j apparently unconcerned and chatting
I about the time when he had lived in
I Calgary and his early fights here.
He took great interest in two post •
card photographs shown him by
1 newspaper men depicting him in his
j first bout here, and also as a referee
in one of the preliminaries.
Champion Much Excited.
When time for the main bout drew
close Luther plainly showed excite-
1 ment. His eyes were on Zeno Casey,
I of Spokane, and Roy George in the
semi-linal, but he did not appear to
I be seeing anything. When the semi-
! final was over McCarty jumped
through the ropes and before the
other boxers were out of the rin& lit
was claiming his corner. .
Referee Smith, of Chicago, and *4
friend came downtown iiqmediately
after the fight and waited for bulle
tins at The News-Telegram office.
When the fiash come in thut Pelky
was under arrest Smith made ar
rangements to remain in the city, ami
await developments.
"There was not a hard blow struck.**
said Smith, "and I was terribly snr-
prisod when McCarty went down. I
prefer to make no statements nor say
anything until after the inquest. I
w ill remain in the city and I wish you
would notify the authorities that they
can communicate with me through
the newspaper any time they desire,
and I will appear when it is neces
sary. I will not go to Edmonton to
night to referee the Scaler-Welsh
.bout, and under no circumstances will
I leave Calgary at present."

T HE public has been much interested recently in
the report of a gentleman who took a poison
tablet by mistake, and interviews with prom
inent physicians in cities hundreds of miles distant
show the absurdity of the "Code of Ethics.” These
physicians without know
ing anything about the
real facts in the case rush
into print to say what
ought to be done and con
demn the treatment given
and in another case prom
inent surgeons propose to
save his life by surgery.
There’s "Ethics” for
you with a great big E.
The facts are that he
has in all probability had
the very best skill that
could be had anywhere
and that the distant doc
tors are willing to give a
lot of flippy interviews
which can only be inter
preted as censuring the
doctors in charge, and for
what?
Why, for the free ad-
J vertising they get out of
it, nothing else.
I prefer to kick hy
pocrisy in the gutter and
get my advertising legitimately.
We all hope the unfortunate patient will fully re
cover, but there are 99 per cent of chances that he has
had the best skill that could be given. But why in
common decency didn’t these eminent men, when
asked for an opinion, tell the truth and observe the
ethics that should regulate every decent man’s life
and say to the interviewers just what I have said
above, that their opinion was of no account unless
they could be at the bedside and know all the details
of the case.
In the same city where this patient lives a doctor
sometime since said to a patient, ‘‘I do not know
whether you have Specific Blood Poison or not, but
you had better let me give you 606 anyway.”
He gave it and from my point of view was guilty
of vicious malpractice, for to-day the patient is suf
fering from the effects of the poison and in danger of
permanent injury from its effects.
That doctor is quite probably a stickler for the
Code of Ethics, but he had better get some idea into

his gray matter as to the duty of a physician to his
patients. In this case his code of ethics was for the
good of his pocketbook and NOT the good of the
patient.
There lies before me a most pathetic letter from a
patient who fully realizes now when too late the evil
effects of this remedy and writes me urging me to
save him from the further bad effect.
Having been steadily in this work for over 35
years, I have seen some of the evil effects of routine
treatment without a little common sense to back it up.
Here is a man who has received wonderful relief by a
very little treatment, who has had his urethra ham
mered, punctured and lacerated for m 0 n t h s for
stricture and he never had a stricture at all.
We all know, laymen as well as physicians, that a
specific chronic urethritis is one of the most serious
diseases with which the physician has to grapple,
and yet day after day patients go to doctors who
encourage them for the sake of a fee to believe they
can cure them in a few days.
When surgeons say that from 65 to 85 per cent of
ALL operations performed on women is due to this
one primary cause, isn’t it about time the matter is
treated candidly and the patient’s good is thought
of before a false and hypocritical Code of Ethics?
I may be ahead of my times, but the world "do
move” and is coming to see my view of it just as sure
as Atlanta is one of the most progressive cities in
the U. S. A.
If you are interested in this work, in good work,
in work that is in the interest of the patient’s good
rather than in a lot of buncombe and false promises
for the sake of a fee, call and see me. Consultation
free, or write for my literature on health subjects.
