New York Times.
There were two women and a baby in a
Third avenue trolley car in Brooklyn the
other day. They were not the only people
in the car, but they were chatting cheer
fully to themselves, and the baby in a way
was interesting to the other passengers.
They were poor people, evidently, and from
the many packages they carried had been
shopping. The baby held one of the recent
purchases. cheap little doll, in It's hand.
1t was an open car. and it looked every mo-
ment as il the doll would slip from the baby's
hand into the street. When the mother
moved to the end of the seat the passengers
knew that it would, and it did. 'sBa5y's
lost the doll,' cried the mother. "Oh, stop
the car said the other woman. 'tThey
won't stop for it." said the mother. Yes
they WILL" said the second woman, with
cheerful confidence. gesticulating to the con-
ductor. "The baby's DOLL" she called. The
car stopped, the people who were not watch
ing the baby looked around anxicusly to see
what was the trouble, the conductor ran back
half block. found the doll, and jumped on
the platform breathlessly to return it. II
thought is was DOLLAR he said with great
good nature. And the passengers, still in
terested realizing that the car had been
stopped several minutes for five-cent doll

We are living in most progress
sive age, an age which has been
productive of the greatest and most
wonderful achievement of man. An
age remarkable for advancement in
every branch of human art science
and invention.
Not only have art science, itera-
ture and invention taken great
strides, but medicine also is rap
idly forging to the front. Human
ills and disease are receiving more
attention, more consideration.
Medical men are cutting lose from
the old lines, the old ruts, and
well-beat n paths of empiricism
and are looking up new roads to
fields of brilliant achievements 1t
is only a question of short time
when the laity will begin to appre-
ciate the efforts of these men Of
science and will endeavor to so sus
tain and encourage that greater
deeds might be done
The Quack Voodoo, Pill Vender,
and Charlaten will be soon be rele
gated. Men of the old school who
are welded to their antiquities will
be considered as whitening memo
res. The young men, the progress
slve men, the men who work will
get recognition.
The scientific treatment of dis
ease, is what the age demands. I he
empiricism of half a centuary ago
will not be tolerated. These things
must come, and those who are alive
to the e issues must be prepared to
meet them when they come.
1t is known fact that few peo-
pie, though intelligent, know how
to properly al tend and nurse a
sick patient, hence the urgent ne
cessity of trained nurse. Parents
and loved ores are unfit to entirely
care for their sick ones, they are
too ANXIOUS, too liable to over do.
too disp sed to allow patient to do
as he pIeases.
Physicians are often blamed
and censured for the results of
things which happen when he is
elsewhere. We hold the doctor re-
sponslble. These things being thus
shaped show that it will inevitably
come when no sick one will b.
treated at his home hospitals,
and sal ratariums viii be and should
be the only place where the sick
will be carea for.
Those oi the next century will
look back and wonder how did we
old foggies manage to care for our
sick at home, or how did the race
escape extinct on. So as sure as
night follows day we will come to IL e
point when our sick will be treated
IN some institution, especially de-
signed and conducted for that pur-
pose.
1t will be better for the sick, it
will be better for those in health.
Why?
First, because such an restitution
has every convenience, every az
rangement, every facility FOR scien-
tifcally administering to the sick.
