New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1888-04-25

Of doctors, and lawyers What.they think of
lawyers, and ministers What they think of
ministers, and artists what they think Of
artists. As long as men and women in any
department Keep down and have a hart
struggle, they will be family praised, and
the remark will be: ooh, yes; he Is a good
clever sort OF a fellow .sshe is rather-yes,
somewhat quite-weu, may say, tolel-
ably nice kind of woman. But let him or
her get little too high, and off goes the as
plrlng head by social or commercial decapi-
tation.
Remember that envy dwells more on
small deficits of Character than on great
forces, makes more of the fact that Domltlaa
amused himself by transfixing flies with his
penknlfe than of his great conauests; OF the
iact That Handel was glutton than of the
TACT that he created imperishable oratorios;
more OF Colerldge's opium habit than of his
Wfltlng .'Chrlstabel' and ssThe Ancient
MARINER; more of the fact that Addison
drank TOO much than of the fact that he was
tne author of the ssspectator;o more of a
mans peccadilloes than of his mighty ener-
giles, more OF his defeats than of his victories.
LOOK at the sacred and heayen-descended
science of healing, and then see DR.. Mac
kenz!e, Inc English surgeon who prolonged
Inc ID lie OF the crown prince OF Germany I'M
I'll ne became emperor, and / hope may yet
cure him SO that he may for many years
govern that magnificent German nation, than
when there is 10 grander. Yet so great are
the medical Jealousies that DR.. Mackenzie
uare not walk the streets of Berlin. He is
under military guard. The medical students
OF Germany can hardly keep their hands off
OF him. The old doctors Of Germany are
writing with indignation. The fact Is that
IN saving Frederck's life DR.. Mackenzie
saved the peace of Europe. There was not
an intelligent man on either side the ocean
that did not fear forsthe result if the throne
passed from wise and good old Emperor
William to his inexperienced grandson. But
", under the medical treatment of DR..
Mackenzie, Crown Prince Frederick took
the throne, a wave OF satisfaction and conf
denct rolled over Christendom, what shall the
world 90 with the doctor who saved his life?
"Oh" cried out the medical jjealousies of
Eulooe, destroy him, of course; destroy
him."
What a brutal scene of jealousy we had in
this country when President Garfield lay
dying. There were faithful physicians that
sacrlficedhih heir other practice and sacrificed
their health for all time in fidelity to that
death-bed. Drs. Bliss and Hamilton and
AgneW Went through anXieties and tolls and
fatigues such as none but God could appre-
clate. Nothing pleased many of the medi-
cal profession. The doctors in charge did
nothing right. We who did not see the case
knew better than those who agonized over
1t IN the sick room for many weeks. I, who
never had anything worse than run-round
on my thumb, which seemed to me at the
time was worthy all the attention of the en-
tire medical fraternity, had my own ideas
as to how the president ought to be treated.
AND In proportion az physicians and laymen
were Ignorant OF the case, they were sure
the treatment practlced was mistake. And
when in post-mortem the bullet dropped out
OF a different part of the body from that in
Which it was supposed to have been lodged,
about two hundred thousand people shouted

time" There are some doctors in all cities
who would rather have the patient die I'M
der the treatment of their own school than
get we'll under some other pathy.
Yea; look ut the clerical profession. I am
sorry to say thati matters of jealousy it is
no better than other professions. There are
now i'll all denominations a great many
young clergymen who have faculty for SUI
peI per, ~ usefulness But they are kept down
and kept back and crippled by older minis
tiers who look askance at these rising evan
gelists. They are snubbed. They are jos
tied. They are patronizingly advised. 1t is
suggested to them that they had better know
their place. If here and there one with
more nerve and brain and conservation and

to keep the chief places, the young are adj

and presbyteries and associations and con-

would not admit that jealousy had any pos

air, and talk sWeet-oil and sugar-plums, and
balm of thousand flowers, and roll up their
eyes with an air of unctuous sanctity, when
they simply mean the destruction Of those
over whom they pray and shuttle. There
are cases where ministers OF religion are
derelict and criminal, and they must be put
out.
But in the majority of cases that / have
witnessed in ecclesiastical trials there is. a
jealous attempt to keep men from SURPRISING
