The Manufacture of Doctors.

1t Is becoming notorious that a
Harvard diploma in Medicine is the
most valuable diploma procurable in
this country. The consequence is
that the better class of students will
seek it, Until the other schools adopt
the same plan, and do away forever
with the present cheap and inefficient
one. A Harvard Medical D ploma
means something the ordinary di,
ploma me ans very little, even to those
who get it. A Harvard diploma
means work, achievement, scholarship,
honor, success and tho best material
in preparation for the profession will
try for it at any sacrifice. The medi-
cal schools of New York and Phila-
delphia must wheel into line with
Boston. or be left behind, where they
ought to be left. Nothing will be
gained to the profession or the world
by any other course, or, in the long
run, to the schools themselves.
These matters of health and sick
ness, life and death, are very serious
ones, and there are few things more
sad-more horrible, midlothian to
see sick or an injured man in hands
utterly incompetent to treat him. The
truth is that a physician should be al
ways first class MANIFEST class in
his moralities, his character, his &C.
quirements, his skill. No course of
education can be too thorough for
him, no preparation for the stipend
Gus work of his lite too exacting.
Medical students are not apt to think
of this By becoming familiar with
disease and death, they are far too apt
to grow thoughtless, and to forget the
preciousness of that possession which
they are to be called upon to protect.
They certainly will not think of il
their instructors make it easy for them
to acquire their profession. The com.
mission of a single unworthy man to
practice the profession Of medicine is
o direct means of decentralization, of
which no faculty can afford to be gull
ty. Let us manufacture no more
doctors let us educate them DR..

The pleasant picnic season is now
approaching. The chief characteristic
of the picnic is it's effects upon men Of
saDguine and respondent tempera-

home, and the other wishes he was
dead. The redeeming feature of the
picnic seems to be that it enables one
to wreak deadly revenge upon the

fend, in the shape of human, en-
tered their chamber and bit the
cheek of their child, -four months
old) not removing the flesh, but
closing the teeth so as to make two
ugly sears, showing each row of
teeth, about Z of an inch apart.
There were others sleeping in ad-
joining apartments whose duty it
WAS 10 watch the child. We learn
the wound will not he serious. II
is believed the child was taken
from the room and returned aftaI
the act was perpetrated.
