Parsoni Talmage on the Doctors.

Cicero said there was nothing in which
men so approached the gods as ID the
cure Of other men. God has ahonored
this profession allthe way, through, from
the days when the good Samaritan work
ed kindness and health with his helle-
bore and politics, down to last weeks
autopsy. The profession is noble one.
The doctors for centuries have honored
God and fought back death with their
keen scalpels. II. one would see what
the doctors have. done for madmen, for
one example, let us look two centuries
back into dungeons, cold, ,clammy, rotten
with prisoners chained to the walls,
filthy, naked and abandoned-and now
turn to our Bloomingdale, rich as a pal.
ace, curtained, carpeted and sofaed, and
luxurious enough for princes. There
was. time when .Jenner was derided,
and when small wits caricatured him
riding on COW and circulated the report
that as the lfesulFof his operations horns
had actually grown onton the foreheads.
of innocent people, and that other inno-
cent people had become so demented as
always to be obliged to chew cuds, And
then chloroform, that heaven descended
mercy of God-it was Sir James Y. Simp.
son who gave us that. Blessed be God
for that wet sponge or phial by means of
which we may have clinic in q nursery.
Alas for battle-6elds without chloroform!
The soldier-boy, after a few breathings
from the magic sponge, forgets his gun.
shot wound and his shattered limbs, and
dreams under the knife, of peace and
home and heaven. The child wakes up
from an operation which, unaided, hu-
man nature could not bear, and says,
Father, what's the matter, what's Doc
tor been here for?". Doctors now in the
courtroom with unerring chemical analy-
sis; doctors understanding and practicing
hygiene, so that now we read, az in q
dream the tales written upon those mon
uments in ancient cities, which tell of
the plague and merciful visitors
stumbling cross the graves of those they
came to save. What have the doctors
not done for longevity,?- From the time
/ Of Adam, the span, of life diminished
until it measured thirty and forty and
then fifty years. But in the sixteenth
century medical science came in and
then the longevity rose, again, and now
the. average of life is forty years, and it.
will be fifty and sixty and seventy. The
time i" not far distant when a,iman will
have no right to die before ninety, and
perhaps the centennial baby will not be
exceptional, in living to one hundred

exclaimed
"Well, old hoss, what is it ?"
"I've lost my way and don't know where
I am. Can you tell me ?"
