HEDGED ABOUT By A PROSCRIPTIyE TABOO

I am not aiming to convince mental
babies, as indeed that wou be fruitless
without the necessary cultured lnteilect
that makes logic applicable. Force, briill-
ancy and originality even are no weapons
to attack a slave with. For many CEN
turtles the medical art was hedged about
by a proscriptive taboo which 1t, as vet,
has not survived. The brand for murder
ing truth is the penalty OF imbecility
stamped upon the mental caliber OF the
average individual-if relation TO medicine
and medicine men. The sun OF the
Nineteenth century has not vet dawned
upon his intellectual horizon. He, to-
gether with his ideal medicine man. still
hibernates in the good old days of the
dark ages when it was bad form to be in
gu sitive. He still 'bel ewes" in bleeding,
blistering, vomiting, purging and sweat
ing. He loves copious doses of horse
medicine He delights in asafetida and

I not wish to convert; they are the Kip van
Wrinkles that will continue to siumber
through this and probably through the
next century. They play no role in the

chre. Humanity was not enriched by
their entrance; il has lost nothing by their
exit. They are driftwood on the shores OF
time and fioat with the ebo and tide OF
opinions they have inherited from their
anthropomorphIc ancestry. No, 1t Is not
to these | wish TO address myself. but To
the thinking ones. whom a thought does
not throw into an epiiepic paroxysm;
who love knowledge for It's own sake; VINO

All who are afflicted in like manner

my friends had weary nearly despaired of

And always-to somewhat digress-

When il comes to q question of dress;
A lover of whist and OF chess
And little disposed to be gay,
Yet pity him, nevertheless,
The old bachelor over the way.
For know when his life dissect
There is lack of the wifely caress,
No children around him collect
His homecoming nightly to bless;
And TO scan him again confess
He's trifie inclined 10 be gray,
IN spite OF his social success,
The old bachelor over the way.
And / feel my surmise is correct,
When look at him closely and guess
That when be takes time to reflect,
He misses the true happiness;
For the lack of home will depress,
And his boyhood was happy, they say;
