MINNESOTA STATE MEDICAL SO.
CIETY.

The recent session of the Minnesota
State Medical Society, of which DR.. f.
]. Davis, of this city, was president, was
one of the most profitable ever held in
the state. The Northwestern Lancet, a
Journal devoted to the interest of the
medical profession, gives the following
extract of the doctors address.
The advance of the science of medi-
cine was the first topic touched upon,
and the profession was congratulated
upon the increasing eXactness with
which the principles underlying the
science are being demonstrated. What
is wanted particularly is addition to the
number of facts which are known to us
already, and by the aid of improved
methods of research and improved APP.
paratus for pursuing our investigations,
we are rapidly increasing our stock OF
knowledge of facts. Theories hold an
important place in the science of medi-
cine and must always do SO, because
medicine is an inexact science; but one
fact established by indubitable evidence
is worth thousand theories.
The advance made in medicine in
America during the past century may
|
cal education, particularly, has taken
great steps in advance, and English
speaking students can receive as thor
Ough and complete an education In this
as in any other country in the world
| Indeed, in some respects they can be
better educated here than anywhere
else, because they are not hampered
by the necessity of learning another
language, and of receiving their Instruc
ton i'm a tongue which, at the best they
understand but imperfectly.
In spite of all we have accomplished
there is still great need of deep anC
thorough research, and the painstakinI
record of observations. The profession
of to-day is willing to accept discoveries
and additions TO our knowledge of medi
cine only, when they rest upon solit
foundation.
Hygiene and sanitary medicine have
reached high position among tn,
branches of the art which physicians fol
low, and should have prominent plac,
in the course of every medical school
{ The tendency of the times is to give pre-
ventive medicine the place OF first i'm
portance, and medical schools Shout,
not be backward in anticipating move
} ment which Is sure to follow.
!. The address concluded with a refer
ence to the laws regulating the practic
of medicine, and commentator of tn
good results accomplished by them
3 Every state should have these laws an
| they should be vigorously enforced
! This was demanded for the protection G
! physicians who had fitted themselve
!, properly for their calling, but even NOR
D for the protection of the public VIII
g could not otherwise be protected fror
, ignorant pretenders.
At the conclusion of the address yot

Blue Earth county is certainly ahead
this year. In no county adjoining here
do we hear of as good cropsas IN our owl
county.
Mrs. G. w. Rima has closed her mil.
linery shop until fall, at which time she
will open up with a nice stock of fall
goods.
Secrist and Rinehart have threshed q
little already this year. They are accom-.
modating fellows, and will get then
share of the work this fall.
Miss Anna Wells arrived home last
Tuesday to spend few weeks of vaca-
ton. She has been teaching at Duluth
for the past year. She returns again
about Sept. 18th.
The rain of last week was just what
was needed to help out the corn and
potatoes, and the weather being favOra-
BILE afterwards we believe it benefited
the grain also.
Barley harvest is ended, and the gen.
eral harvest commences. A number of
farmers commenced cutting wheat and
oats on Tuesday the 18th inst. Certain
ly the earliest harvesting that has been
known for term of years, if in fact it
ever did occur before. 1t is the opinion
of our best farmers that the entire har-
vest will be finished in this month, that
is the cutting part of it, large acreage
will also be plowed this year in August,
which is almost guarantee of good
crops the following year, hail storms
and cyclones keeping a proper distance
from us.

st. Peter Tribune: Mr.. j. III. Doty, OF
CORTLAND, brought to our Office last
Monday few samples ofthe wheat from
high ground. Although the wheat look
ed well and indicated good, fair aver
age crop, still, upon closer examination,
the fact developed that the top kernels
on nearly every spear were more or less
shrunken. OF course it is hard to tell
just how general the shrinkage is, but
Mr.. Doty is of the opinion that upon
the ridges and high ground in Conrt-
land the crop will be about five per cent.
short OH account ofthe shrinkage, which,
he says, is due to the excessively warm
weather we have had since the rain.
He also thinks that the warm weather
will have tendency to ripen the grain
too early and that the crop this year
will be about ten days premature.
The Normal School catalogue for
1886 is issued, and is by far the most
complete of any ever published. Be-
sides containing the names of GA pupils
who attended this institution the past
year, it has large amount of general
information of interest to seekers after
knowledge. A new feature of the cata-
logue, and one which will commend it.
self, is the entrance examination ques-
tons. The suggestions to candidate s
are also important. In addition to the
above the catalogue contains complete
iiDs or .II~ Iis....U., - a...a"..s~S Iioii l"'o
to 1886 inclusive. By this calendar we
find that 292 pupils have graduated
an average of over seventeen a year.
The Normal School of Mankato, during
the seventeen years it has been in ex-
istence, has made wonderfully rapid
strides despite the fact that it has been
handicapped from lack of adequate
room. It's to be hoped that the legis-
iature will the coming winter bestow a
liberal appropriation upon this institu-
ton, and after this is done 1t should not
be annulled by the governor. OF the
three Normal schools in Minnesota the
one here can show the most gratifying
increase in attendance for the past
three years, and the work accomplished
is certainly equal to that of any educa-
tional Institution in the northwest.
President Soaring and his able faculty
have labored hard to bring our school
to its present high standard, and the
reputation it has gained under their di-
rection is well-merited and widespread.

The popular impression that cut
ting the hair short tends to increase
it's growth is doubted by the HerahI
Of Health. 1t says that "women
rarely become bald ; yet they never
cut their hair of, as do men. May
not their immunity from shining
pate be partly due to the fact that
they do not patronize the barber,
nor wear tight headgear ? If, in
early life, our young men would
look after their scalps, even while
they do not appear to need atten-
ton, it might save them The trouble
of looking after them in sorrow at
a later period, when it will do less
good. If they do not, the time will
come when we shall have a race Of
human beings without hair"
