OLD TIME DOCTORS.
The Students Helped Their Teachers In
Practical Work.

Practical Work.
During the last century in America
the medical education Of "a young std
dent was generally what he picked up
by serving as an apprentice to some
noted practitioner, which combined the
duties of "a student with many mental
affairs.
He ground the powders, mixed the
pills, rode with the doctor on his rounds,
held the basin when the patient was
bled, helped to adjust the plasters, sew
the wounds and run with walls OF medi-
cine from one end Of town to the other.
1t was white day when such young
man enjoyed the rare good fortune OF
dissecting half putrid arm. So great
indeed was the difficulty OF obtaining
anatomical subjects that the medical
school of Harvard college made single
body do duty for a whole year.
Under such circumstances the doc
tors knowledge was practical, and de-
rived from personal experience rather
than from books. The advantages OF
study were sparingly enjoyed. Few
physicians boasted of a library OF 90
| volumes.
His apprenticeship ended, the student
| returned to his native town to assume
| the practice of medicine. At that period,
with the exception of the minister and
the Judge, the doctor was the most i'm
portant parsonage in his community.
| His genial face, his engaging manners,
| the sincerity with which he inquired
after the carpenters daughter and the
interest which he took in the family OF
the poorest laborer made him the IA
vorite for miles around. He knew the
names and personal history of the occu'
pants of every house he passed. The
farmers lads pulled off their hats tc
him and the girls dropped courtesies al
he passed Sunshine and rain, daylight
and darkness, were alike to him. Ht
would ride ten miles in the darkest
night over the worst Of roads in pelt
ing storm to administer dose OF Gallo
mel to an old woman or attend chilt
in fit.
The drugs were slowed away on thu
shelves of the village store, among
heaps of shoes, Rohan hats, packages o
seeds and fiitches of bacon.
The physician was compelled to com
pound his own drugs, make his owl
tinctures and put up his own prescrip
tions. His saddlebag was the only dru
store within 40 miles. Each spring tn
blood must be purified, the kidneys eS
cited and the damsel who tainted pre-
fusely bled. Large doses OF SIENNA an
mamma and rhubarb and molasses weI
taken daily. 1t was safe to say tina

in the same time.

That Banshee's Wall.

There is considerable discussion in
the English papers about the wall Of
the banshee which was said to have
been heard in East Kerry before the IA
tai bog moved. A correspondent writes
that the late Archdeacon Whately, the
celebrated archbishop's son, told him OF
a certain instance Of the banshee's cry.
The archdeacon said that he distinctly
heard the wall while in an Irish coun-
try parish administering the holy COM

when it is developed in the very mag

the waist. There was demitrain. The
front had the side seams defined by

diamonds and topazes, the golden lights

pale green. Across the bottom there was
a light but graceful design of embroid-

and diamonds. The sleeves were of the
dress material. The caps were of white
crepe de chine wrought with the beads.
On one side were three yellow roses,
with their foliage.

gowns should all be green in part or
whole, but, really, green and yellow,
or green and some other combination,

colors worn just now. The new blues
