help thinking that no professional persons deserve
more truly the support of the• public at large than
decayed members of the medical :le ; for it is of all
professions that which is the most liberal in its prat.
lice to the community. It is indeed the only profes-
sion the members of -which are called upon on all
emere,encies, night and day, to.exercise their skill,
and distrilyute their, medicines without remuneration.
--If an accident happens to a poor creature at any
hour, the next medical man is summcned from his
bed, or from his business, and an instance is never
known where he does not run to his assistance, and
where he does not administer whatever relief or me-
dicines may he necessary without the hope of reward.
—There is, perhaps, at the same time, no profession
where the education is so costly, and the return,
with a very few exceptions, so inadequate.

ing a gold seal from (he person of John Lisle.

terwards cut the seal from his watch-ribbon.
