 These doctors win have . lively run, of basi f ness for the next eight days. From ,allse hear and see, they are having sn abundance of praci tice now. Ever since inc appointment of the distinguished Chairman of this Board of Medi, cal examiners, we have observed Ltchfield. tobe lively with-not precisely the lame, the halt and the blind-but with. so far as we could see, stout abie-bodied men, anxioasly enquiring the way t0 the Doctors dispcnsary.a Even as early as S6ar o'clock in the morning have they besieged the doctors door, and late at night the glimmer of the night lamp betrays the examiner still en- gagged in his patient and laborious examinations We trust for the honor of the county, for the welfare of the coautry, for the claim for respect which the medical fraternity have among the people at large, that certificates of exemption' are not given save in the most plain and palpaa.. ble cases of urgency and justice...s,d .,s ellw
 It is anything hut amusing, t is hr nearel disgusting to see this flock of pstients besieging the examiner's doors, ten days even before a drafl is to be made. It makes us think less oi odr species to know that there are animals going upon two legs, who are 50 shortnofi wind, so slight of soul. 10 weak of heart, who are willing thus to take advantage. in broad daylight, of an ovcrtasked and hurried examiner, for the ppr; pose of securing .paltry bit of paper, sOhich stamps asea as coscards, while t protects them ffom the ia~. We grow sick at heart when we behold so many of our species, whom yesterday we saw capable of enduring every fatigue and paivation, who have worked like horses On their own fields and farms through many summer and winter, who were able to- ride many mile through the hottest of summer suns to the doc: tors door, and then emerge from thence poor piteous, broken down, broke,s-windcd hacks, in. capable si least of serving asir col.ntrJ iip the hour Of its direst peril. < .e,,1.
