The closing scenes of the nineteenth
century are now being enacted and on
ly short time illintervene until the
curtain will be rung up on what prom
ises to be the grandest period of the
worlds history, the twentieth century
What the coming century holds fol
the human race is as great a mystery
as is the message to mankind which
has been locked up in the bosom of the
spynx for untold ages. Whether the
old world has reached the zenith of
it's glory, ''the golden age" forshad-
owed in song and story, and is from
henceforward to witness general de-
cadence in art and letters, in science
and philosophy, or whether the
Thoughts of man shall widen with
.the:process of the suns" entering new
fields of conquest through all the av-
enues of progress and gaining victories
undreamed of by even the optimists of
today, we may not say.
In the olden days the wise men
made forecasts of the future by means
( OF mysterious augeries, Staying birds
and animals, and from the entrails
I'D no ~ avaptc tn nnnno
The prophets of the present day al
so read the signs of the times and as
they look afar into the future, they
seem to sec a drawing of greater,
grander age They may not read
Alright, but let us hope they do. The
past few years have been fraught with
great achievements in every line of
human activity. Man has frightened
his grasp upon the mighty forces of
nature and made them subservient to
his will. He has projected his vision
into almost the uttermost limits Of
space, discovering new systems of
worlds and measuring their velocity
as they whirl through infnity, and
even naming the elements of which
they are composed. With the micro
scope he has unveiled the mysteries in
a tiny drop of water, famlliarized
himself with the creatures disporting
themselves therein and followed the
descending scale of animal life until
he has run down the very primal form
of all life, and named it the protop-
lasm. Earth, sea and sky have yield
ed up their secrets, while the study of
man himself, the laws governing his
mental, moral'and physical well-being
have been equally rich in results,
Disease in all its many and hateful
forms has been robbed of half its ter
rors by the. discovery Of methods by
(which it may be checked and cured.
Ftft is because of these discoveries that
the belief is gaining ground among
thinking men that disease, with
which humanity has ever been handi-
capped, will ultimately be eliminated
from the human family, and that a
new and perfect race will control the
destiny of:the twentieth century.
The German American staff of Ply
siclanS and Surg ,ons is the herald of a
new era in medical sciences 1t travels
in its own special train, carry
ing six eminent specialists versed in
th' varied lore of their respective de-
partments, and supplied as it is with
the most complete and costly instru-
mcnts and agencies employed in med
icine and surgery. IL is fairly typical
of the progressive age in which we live.
All that science has revealed as to the
nature Of the disease is familiar to
these specialists, and appliances for
its successful treatment and cure,
have found a place in this splendid
equipment.
Prof. j. T. r. Clark, the head Of this
staff travels in magnificent private
Sear, which is supplied with every lux
ury that money can buy. He is a
broad-minded, great hearted man who
had the courage 20 break loose from
the false standard oflprofesslonal eth
