STARVING PARIS pocroRs.
Free Hospital. Cut Into the Practice of
MANY Physicians.

MANY Ihysicthns.
A double suicide, which shocked
Paris the other day, brought to the at
tention Of the public tha financial
straits In which, 1t Is said,
the majority OF the physicians
of that city live. says the
New York World. Dr. Arnaud de
Lanyard. an old physician, who had
been decorated by the government for
brave conduct during the cholera cpl
demid many years ago, committed sui
eide with his wife because his practice
had dwindled to the vanishing point
and starvation was staring them In the
face. In commenting upon the trag
edy several newspapers asserted that
in Paris not more than one doctor out
OF five is able to make more than the
barest living. Among the causes OF
this poverty among physicians is the
destitutlon OF most OF their patients.
Medical ,lence has made great strides,
too. that maladies Of all sorts are moro
quickly cured, and such precautions
are taken to prevent tho spread OF con-
tagious diseases that epidemics are be-
coming practically unknown. The num-
Der OF doctors. on the other hand, has
rapidly Increased. Another reason why
there is not practice enough to 70 round
is that In many of the hospitals people
can be treated for nothing or at very
nominal figure. Many OF these hospl-
tails have trained schools. which are
free, in which arc taught the rudlments
Of medicine and surgery. These
schools are largely attended and many
sick people are taken In hand at their
own homes by some member OF the
family who has pro6tei by this In
