There are g id and poor lawyers, and nuod and pit doctors. Tho troublo with these radical gentlemen as a profession is t it. they aro clannish, and; apt to bo C M»f.d. They don't likd to be beaten avweir x own' trade by' outsiders who hro nover studied medicine,. They, tl roforo pay', by' 'their frequent fi urea, tbe penalty of rofusinginstrncti 1 unless tho teacher bears their own "lull Mark." v ■ n eminent physician—Dr Brown--5 uard, of Paris—states the fact »< irately when lie sdya: "The medi<s profession aro so bound up, in their bc -confideneo arid;! conceit that they nl v tho diamond truths, of scienco b< picked up' by persons . entilv outaido their ranks," "NVe t»iio a nost interesting incident, which 111 tratcs this important truth, . is' Steamship " Concordia" til the Dialdson Lino, sailed front Glasgow fo: Baltimore in 1887> baring on board as fireman a man named Richard Wade of Jlasgow. Ho had been a iirc-man fo fourteen years on various ships sailin from America, China and India, Hiiad borno the hard and exhausting lal ar, and bad been healthy and str ir, On tho trip we. now name ho M n {" T t' m(!

A mouth passed, tho poo froman getting worse and worse. T in came another doctor, who was to visiting physician for tho next ; five ninths. Ho gave other medicines, but iot mnch relief. Nearly all tha thinffade - suffered great .torture; ho digc ed nothing, throwing up all he ate. The was terriblo pain in |lho bpivele, buri ig heat in the throat, heartburn, and icking headache. Tho patient was now iking s.misturo every fonr hours, powirs one,, after each meal to digest the od, operating pills one every night, and pfila two each night to stpnjho cold sweats, if drugs could cuttßim at all,, Richard had,an idea tbatle took enough to do it. But on theijlier hand pleurisy sot in:and the rfocfte took ninety quires of mutter Ufap right tide, and then .told him
