THE PHYSICIAN AS A oespoT.
We Know the Doctor Is FaiIible. Yst W.
Trust Him I'm plfcitlv

Without any pretense Of faith In any
doctor who is not regular, and without
prejudice to a sincere intention OF call
ing in thoroughly instructed and ex-
pert practitioner whenever occasion de-
mands, it Is still permissible to smile
aniably at the professional Jealousy Of
quacks. The successful physician, with
exceptions which happily are much more
numerous than they were, is the most
intolerant despot on earth. And we en-.
courage him to be so.
We are vaguely aware Of the linita.
tons Of his knowledge we know that
he has to guess first what is the matter
with us, and next what will do us good
and that though there are facts his &C.
quaintanee with which helps him to
guess right, many theories that regulate
his professional action are still hypothet-
ical, and may or may not be correct
We know that he has discovered that
many Of the methods his father used
were unwise and deleterious and that
the doses his grandfather gave often
fastened the result they were intended
to prevent and hindered what they were
designed to induce.
We know not only that he is n man,
and therefore fallible, but that his pro-
fessicnal science, like his fathers and
grandfather's, is progressive, and is still
very far from being exact Neverthe
less when anything ails us, in spite Of
all we know of his limitations, we fly to
him as though he were all wise, and do
as nearly what he tells us az our flesh
and our pockets permit. For we believe
that, erring and inadequate as he il, he
knows moro than we do, and that his
knowledge is, on tho whole. the best that
y at our command.
The childlike trust in our physicians
ID phenomenon which is creditable to
us and to our doctors, and from which
re both get benefit. Undoubtedly our
piys.cians do us good, and indeed they
ought to, even if they knew less and
Guessed less fortunately than they do,
else were faith much less potent virtue
than it is declared to be.
But it is one thing for us to flock OF
our own accord to the doctors, and quite
another thing for those professional
gentlemen to hold that we shall come
to them and to none else, and that
we may neither be lcgitimately born,
nor die legally, except with the concur
rence of the learned faculty .-Scribner'
