A great deal Of fatigue and anxiety

hearty fellows who bear cheerfuny the
hazards connected with the great prob

night and day on a vast network OF
lines and the sympathies of tens of
thousands of peaceful little homes go
with them on their runs. The great
public must have its supplies and these
are the men who must get them
through at the cost even OF their lives.

natured member of this brotherhood
and he bears load of worries that
makes it necessary for him to seek help
to keep his excited nerves from wear

What troubled me most was my in

and got help right away So keep
them on hand all the time and when
ever the strain begins to tell on me I
take a few doses. They quiet down
my excited nerves and make if possible

with much the. same spirit as they
might give the title to an apothecary.
In a measure we deserved some of the
opprobrium, for many graduated were
without much if any preparatory
study, and thus We're at great disad-
vantage with their much more highly
cultured brothers, and the great ma
jority gave themselves the title of
doctor, and of course such could have
no standing with the regulars.
But to you young men, this is an
cient history You find yourselves in
a learned profession with your degree
recognized by the International Medi-
cal Association, the highest authority,
as on a par with the degree of NJ. ID.
You have reason to feel but little of
that slight which the older members
had to carry. We today ought to give
thanks and reverence to those who so
bravely and persistently fought our
battles before legislatures and courts
and the more trying and cynical great

and greater still by their true lives
| and great usefulness before the people

the names of DR. Harris. DR.. Taft, DR..
Tucker, DR.. Atkinson and DR.. Barrett,
great men of our profession who have
passed on before. And the host of such
names s DR.. Truman and DR.. Brophy,
and DR. Black and DR.. Harlan and DR.,
Kirke and Dr. Johnson. who are still
in the great work of bringing our
profession to the forefront. It is no
mere boast to say that our profession
does more than any or all others in
assuring comfort and happiness to
mankind Therefore let us take great
pride in it, and be loyal to its highest
ideals. Let US feel by our true lives
and earnest work that we are the
peers Of any who call upon US for our
services, and let US see to it that no
man nor class of men shall exceed US
in honest, earnest and intelligent en-
deavors to minister to the well being
