Medical New York in 1900

1t was an age Of controversy, of fierce
politics and unyielding ~dogmatism. In
medicine the methods of Galen rather
than of Hippocrates prevailed, and there
was more art than science; theory ruled
the day. The physician of the period
prated about nature, inert practice, pie
thora and depraved humors, but bled in
variably and without grudging. Vene-
section was the fashion; indeed, its omis-
sion was a sin.
The first dissection in the city, that of
the body Of a criminal, was made in 1850,
and In 1920 in New York city the first
medical degree ever granted in America
was conferred upon one Robert Tucker.
In 1898 occurred the great yellow fever
epidemic, which destroyed {, 036 persons,
creating a great Juror in the ranks of the
medical profession both in the Old and
New Worlds, The physicians of the day
carried their own medicine and charged at
the rate of 10 cents a dose.-Dr. John
Shrady's Lecture.

Painters of Political Portraits.

Sign painters graduated toportrait work
turn out from five to seven portraits in
twelve hours, but the rapid and careless
way in which they are done is illustrated
on many of the tanners now strung. Two
or three men often combine In painting
political portraits. One will do the draw
ing of the head and the rough lines of the
face. Such is known as the likeness"
artist, and it is he who Is expected to
catch the expression. One or more men
fill in the coloring and details of dress.
In this manner the work can be done
quickly and to a certain extent correctly,
providing, of course, that those engaged
have had any training in portraAt paint
ing.-Brooklyn Eagle.

It Costs One Horss pnrrer-

According to the best scientific author
ity, it costs one horse power to keep in
motion one ton of metal or weight; thus
every unnecessary 1900 pounds weight on
your line shaft costs you one horse power.
To maintain a horse power costs from S25
to 1928 per year. Any manufacturer who
will take the pains to investigate the I'M
necessary weight, by heavy iron pulleys,
too tight belts, etc, will be surprised to
find the enormous waste Of power caused
In this manner, to say nothing about the
loss resulting from the shortened life
Of the entire equipment.-Boston Budget.

SiBYLLINE LEAVES.

The story of our love is Incomplete;
The leaves of childhood and of youth are miss
ing,
Yet "better late than never" twas to meet;
Our lips, at least, are not too oH for kissing,
What rapture to have loved as boy and grill
How sweet to have been playfellows together;
Over one fairy tale our heads to curl,
Inseparable birdlings of a featherl
To mate in the first freshness of our youth
Was happiness life to us never granted;
Lonely apart we pinned, each seeking truth!
Together we have found loves land enchanted.
The past is flown; the future still have we;
SO let our twin souls blend beyond the ages,
TIL, young and fair, beside the Jasper Sea,
We may discover all loves torn cut pages.

We offer no apology for devoting so much time
and attention to this much neglected class of
diseases, believing that no condition of human
ly is too wretched to merit the sympathy and
best services OF the profession to which we be
long, as many are innocent sufferers, and that
the physician who deVotes himself
TO relieving the afflicted and saving
them from worse than death, is no less a
philanthrophist and a benetactor to his race
than the surgeon or physician who by close APP
plication excels IN any other b anch of hispro-
fession. And, fortunately for humanity the day
is dawning, when the false philanthroPhy that
condemned the victims of folly or crime, like
the lepers under the Jewish law to die uncared
for, has passed away.
YOUNG Ri
Who may be suffering from the e~fectso of youth
ful follies or indiscretions, will do well to avail
themselves of this the greatest boon ever laid
at the alter OF suffering humanity. DIR. WAC

lars for every case of seminal weakness or pri-
vate disease of any kind or character which he
undertakes and fails to cure.
MIDDLE-AG ED MEN.
There are many men OF the age OF 30 to 90 who
are troubled with too frequent excavations OF
the bladder often accompanied by a slight
smarting or burning sensation and a weaken
ing of the system in a manner the patient can
not account for. On examining the urinary de-
posts a ropy sediment Will often be fOund,a and
sometimes small particles of albumen will ap-
pear, or the color will be of akin or milkish
hue, again changing to a dark and tIrbid aP
pearance. There are many men who die Of
this difficulty ignorant of the cause, which il
