DIR. s. WEIR MITCHELL IN HIS STUDY.

Graduating from jefferson Medical
college in 1850, DIR. Mitchell immediate
ly began the practice of medicine. He
served as a surgeon in the civil war and
as long ago as 1860 presented the world
with a careful study of poisonous aka
loids. The science Of poisons seems TO
have fascinated him. and he became an
authority not only on toxicology, but in
herpetology. or serpent study. with di-
rect reference 90 the venom of rattle
snakes. As a herpetologist, then. he
may be said TO have laid the founda-
tion for his wonderful career as an an
alyst. toxicologist. naturalist. thera-
peutist, especially as a neurologist and
finally as a poet and novelist. His ca
reer, in fact. is an illustration of what
may be accomplished in life OF aver
age length devoted TO study and inves-
tigation. II shows also that what at
first may be taken up as an avocation.
"A side employment or recreation. may
eventually become the dominant factor
i'm ones life.
Starting out as an authority on poi
sons. and particularly on poisonous SER
pents. DR.. Mitchell pursued his investi-
cations along what may be called the
lines OF least resistance and finally be-
came an authority on nervous diseases.
There may seem 60 be no connection be-
tween the two. but the transition came
naturally enough. At all events Dr.
Mitchell is famous as the greatest neu-
rologist of the country. probably OF the
world, and his celebrated rest cure
for nervous people would alone have
made him famous.
In this connection. as showing how
literally the "medicos" do not follow

Another story told OF his literary as

course the analogy between these two
has already forced itself upon the read

Mitchell went to Or. Holmes many
years ago, taking with him a collection
OF poems which he wished TO publish
AS friend of his father and really de-
sirous OF success for the young literary
aspirant. DR.. Holmes graVely advised
him 10 put aside all thought OF writing
either fictional prose or poetry until
he should have made his reputation as
a medical man. How literally Dr.
Mitchell followed this wholesome advice
is shown by his great career, first as a
specialist i'm nervous diseases and final
ly as successful writer of both prose
and poetry.
