EARLY ENGLISH DOCTORS

They Had to Attend Three DissectiOns
At which a Body Was Opened.
The earliest record Of a school of
physics at Cambridge university is In
1921, but the first definite provision for
anatomical teaching IA made by John
Caius somewhat later in the same cent
ury. He was followed by W. Hardy in
the Sixteenth and by a brilliant galaxy
Of ANTAGONISTS in the Seventeenth cent
ury, Of whom n instructed Newton
and another tried his hand at writing
plays
From the time of Caius we were in
timately connected with the corpora
ton of surgeons in London, who sent
us a scholar receiving f40 a year for his
maintenance and e3 a year to provide
himself with books In order to qualify
as a practitioner in those days it vas
necessary TO have attended three dissec-
tons, at which a body was opened and
the physicians present discoursed at
random concerning the interior"
The first separate p~rofessOnhip of an
atomy was founded at Cambridge in
the year 17O7. but the immediate effect
| of the endowment appears to have
been a cessation of all interest in the
subject. 1t was the time of the Resur-
reetionists, however, and we read of
the watchmen being allowed to search
In Emmanuel for a missing body. This
was Illegal, be il remarked, and really
an act of coercion, as may be cen from
the following tale. A giant once died
in Dublin, thereby exciting the desires
Of an anatomical professor and his stu
dents, to whom he said:
''Gentlemen, / understand that your
feelings are excited toward the seizure
of this body, against which | must GER
tainly counsel you But in case your
zeal should overcome your discretion, ]
will tell you the exact case of the law,
which is that you may take the
body. but that for the removal of the
least rag or shred of covering there
on you may be hanged. Therefore, il
you should remove the body, be careful
that it is utterly unclothed. Needles
TO say that professor was given the op
p~ortunity of experimenting upon thai
giant.
A more melancholy anecdote is asso
ciated with the memory Of our Pro
fessor Collignon, who once invited tive
friends to the dissection of a body, il
which one Of them recognized the feat
ures Of an acquaintance. 1t was tn
body of Lawrence Sterne, whose ina
return to his university formed a traRii
ending to the sentimental journey o
; his life"

something About swords.

Major Pettibone, of Cincinnati says
that, Notwithstanding the profound
peace which this country enjoys, that
city alone turns out on an average TO-
900 regular army swords every year. All
swords made in this country are dull eI-
cept at the point, barbarous nations only
making sharp edged swords. The idea OF
refined and beautiful warfare is 70 kill
without mutilation, and a blow from a
sharp sword might make a horrible
wound without causing death. The
finest swords turned out in Cincinnati
were a complete outfit for the late
king Kalakaua and his retinue.
Swords range in price from S TO $500

phenomenal. In order to save
the life of John o. Dickerson
146 Sir Knights of st. Bernard Com
mandery, Knights Templar, submitted
TO the surgeons knife, contributed each
his portion of skin sliced from the
tender, quivering flesh to be grated
upon the body of their brother. The
strips cut from 146 arms were trans
planted to Mr. Dickerson and IA
square inches of his body were covered
with these voluntary contributions. 1t
was feat in surgery and demonstra-
ton that heroic sentiment is not thing
of the past
Mr.. Diekerson is A years of age and
widower, his wife having died several
years ago. Since 1870 he has been re-
corder of st. Bernard Commandery of
the Knights Tomplar and during that
Il.
About year ago he became affected
with a cancerous growth on his
thigh and right hip, which rapidly de-
veloped into a dangerous condition.
Last summer DIR. Fenger performed a
surgical operation, cutting away the
diseased portions of the skin and flesh
to such an extent that the epidermis
could not again join and cover the ex-
posed surface. In other respects the pa
tient improved rapidly. The surgeon
made an attempt to cover the place
with piece of goat skin. This prom
ised TO be successful, but the piece
was too large and had to be removed.
Then DIR. Fenger announced that
the only certain method of heal
ing the patient was to graft
small pieces of human skin on the
exposed and tender surface. st. Bernard
Commanderv heard of this and imme-
diately offered to furnish as many sub
jects as the surgeons desired. 1t was
suggested that $50 members volunteer
to assist in patching up the afflicted
brother.
The volunteers We're readily forth
coming, and Sunday at the emergency
hospital, where Mr.. Dickerson has been
lying for long time, a dozen surgeons
assisted in transferring strips of epider-
mis- from the intrepid knights to the
body of the patient sufferer on the cot.
When the last patch was neatly set in
Surgeon Fenger announced with some
satisfaction that the operation gave ev-
cry appearance of being a signal success.
