Requirements for a Physician.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle practiced
medicine before he began to write,
and in one of his scrapbooks he has
a newspaper advertisement that he
cherishes because it shows well the
low standing of many doctors in the
eighteenth century. Sir Arthur
clipped the advertisement from a
newspaper of the year 1887. 1t
reads:
''Wanted, for a family not blessed
with good health, sober, discreet
and steady person to act in the ca
pacity of doctor and apothecary. He
must often act as steward and but
Ter, and occasionally dress hair and
wigs. He will be required to read
prayers, and sometimes, on wet Sun
days, to preach a sermon or two. A
good salary will be paid, and a
preference will be given to sAch an
one as. besides the above qualifica-
lions, can mend clothes"
