But the lances and bone saws have been laid

sorts to them only when it is deemed absolutely
necessary. The German and Dutch professors
OF medicine and surgery are, SO DR.. Matsumoto
says. still In the ascendancy, as they are en-
ployed at all the leading colleges. In Toxic

graduates about 100 medical students each
year. Most of these make their way into hos
pitfalls as non-paid assistants. rising in time, if
capable, to the dignity OF paid assistants or
regular practicing physicians, in or out of the
hospitals.
Those who give general practice make but
little money. Fixed fees are unknown. A
Japanese doctor never dreams Of asking a poor
patient for fee. There is a proverb among
the medical fraternity of Japan, ''When the
twin enemies, poverty and disease. invade a
home, then he who takes aught from that
home, even though it be given him, is rob-
ber."
Often" said DIR. Matsumoto, "a doctor
will not only give his time and his medicines
freely tosthe sufferer. but he will also give him
money to tide over his dire necessities. Every
physician has his own dispensary and there
are very few apothecary shops in the empire.

does not expect that he will be presented bill

nearly all the other modern practices are in

fee. The strict honesty Of the people does not
make this necessary. When he is through with

sum the patient or his friends may deem to be

National as the National debt which

modern? Have not men always drank?
We think SO. But that does not say
that dram shops, breweries and distil-
leries have always existed: Time was
when no distilled liquors were known.
Scholars declare that this art is only as
old as the eleventh century of our era;
and that distilled liquors were not used
as q beverage until late in the thir-
teenth century. And the traffic in in
toxicants began much later.
Previous to this each family brewed
Its own beer as it baked lts own bread.
The taverns and public houses were
the first to sell liquors In connection
with their regular business. After
wards came the modern dram shop.
Now it needs to be said and repeated
that what prohibition is after Is the

there would be some chance for the

Hardly any one, I think, would care to
dispute this proposition, namely, every
thing necessary for food or drink, for
man or animal, is produced naturally.

would seem as though God had spoken
emphatically upon this question.

perfectly appalling. Examine the mat

the aid of the best statistics obtainable;
and we believe no man can long be in
doubt as to the effect of this traffic. 1t

thinking men that the saloon is men

is dominant everywhere in National,
