Our grandfathers we're content to
travel in stage coaches, to live in
cabins and receive a mail once a
week. We demand palace cars,
tasteful homes and daily communi-
cation with the world. 1t is the
rapid-trsnsit age: the age of the
telegraph and telephone. A man
speaks to-day and the entire world
reads his words tomorrow morn,
ing. There are but twenty-four
hours in the day, but forty-eight
hours are crowded into it.
We all know how we have ad-
vanced materially. Do we realize
how we have advanced scientifi,
cally? More than in any other
manner. Indeed, it has been the
advancement in science which has
caused the advancement in mate.
rial things. The discoveryof steam
permitted the railroad and the
steamboat. The development in
electricity made possible the tele.
graph and the telephone, SO that
the development of the sciences
has been the real cause OF all mod.
ern advancement.
We will take, for example. one
department of science, but the
most important department, one
which affects our very lives anC
happiness. Formerly the treatment
OF human ills was made a matter
of superstition. of incarnation, thu
same rs it is by the medicine mer
OF the Indians to-day. Gradually
emerging from such blindness, i
was still a matter of bigotry, o
folly. What people must have suf
fered in those days can scarcely b.
imagined. They were bled, the,
