DIR. HELUUTH'S VERSES.
VOLUMES WRITTEN BY THE HOMCEO-
PATHIC PHYSICIAN.

DR.. William Tod Helmuth, Of this city. who was
buried last week, was poet and writer, as well as
a noted physician and surgeon. Aside from his
wide practice he found many hours for the muse.
although he deigned to call the inspirer OF
his verses by such a name AS he once expressed
it in his own words:
And when 1 was ushered a babe upon earth,
But B9 r E@gfa psn fellow S ' who fe sad
This baby's boy, nurse. pray put him TO bed
Has 6e been spent in practical sort Of way
And when I've, attempted TO worship the Muse,
But in while there would steal through my
Some thought like a beautiful, far distant strain
OF angelic music; but ere could write ,,.
II slipped from my mind like dream In the night
The achievements of DR.. Hemuth in his pro-
fession have been related in detail in the obituary
sketches published the time of his death His
prominence in the medical world is recognized
throughout the country because OF his numerous
writings on subjects pertaining TO the profession,
and in this city his reputation as head surgeon of
the Flower Hospital, dean of the Homeopathic
Medical College and Hospital and president of the
American Institute of Homeopathy and other
medical societies Is too well known to require de-
tailed repetition.
DR. Helmuth's qualities as a writer Of up
to the time of his death had not been appreciated
except by his more intimate friends. The greater
portion of his verse he deliver at after
dinner occasions, and because of their popularity
he compiled a volume of about a score Of these
post-prandia poems. which he entitled facetiously.

had written for other occasions he had printed
under the titles of Scratches of a Surgeon"
Various Verses etc The books published by
Boericke & Tafe of No. 10 West Forty-second-st
By way of explaining how he came TO write
verses DR.. Helmuth prefaced his "Pousse Cafe"
stanzas with the following:
The great Apollo, radiant and strong.
Was God of Physic cen while God of Song,
Tisdaining neither mortar nor scalpel,
While from his Tyre impassioned love strains fell
Asnire awhile TO flights of minstrelsy;
Forget his powders. and his pills discard,
Recome at once a medicated bard.
Whose numbers. flowing smoothly they will,
ExhaIe both Nux and Belladonna still.

I,,ered IN response TO the toast The City Doctor
