Quack Coffee, now 67 years old, has been "practicing" for 44 years. The Keokuk (Iowa) College of Physicians & Surgeons gave him his diploma in 1881. He was licensed to practice medicine in 1897, 29 years ago. His first "game" was the curing of eye diseases by mail.

All through the fight Sharkey chopped and hacked at Wills, closed his eye, made his mouth bleed; all through the fight the referee skipped between...
With the disclosures of the recent primary campaign expenditures in Pennsylvania and Illinois, and the use of the primary by a candidate not in sympathy with the party, there has been brought into the public eye an important and nice question. Should the direct primary be retained as it is; should it be modified; or, finally, should it be abolished altogether...
