PER1Ls OF SURF BATHING.
Some Cannot Be Persuaded to Avoid
Taking Risks.

From the Savannah news.
Surf bathing is refreshing and healthful
and where proper precautions are observed,
| should be accompanied with scarcely more
danger than bathing in a tub. Nevertheless
season after season there are reports from
the resorts throughout the length of both
coasts of bathers being drowned.
State legislatures have taken cognizance
of the matter and have passed laws design
ed to give protection to- bathers. but while
the laws may have served to diminish the
number Of accidents they have not had the
effect Of putting stop to them. AS
matter of fact, 1t Is doubtful II any law
could be devised that would have that
effect. The safety Of the individual rests
primarily with himself or herself And
there is only one sure rule of safety: Never
take chances.
The bather in the surf who is always sure
Of a footing on the single runs practically
no risk or mishap. Unfortunately all path
ers cannot be persuaded that 1t Is folly to
take risks. Some of them disregard strong
ebb currents and go out too far. They find
exhilaration in swimming among the rollers
for time, but when they attempt to come
ashore they are dismayed to feel themselves
being swept farther and farther away.
There are numerous forms of indiscretion
in connection with surf bathing, but they
are all SO patent that 1t is unnecessary to
call attention to them. Since 1t Is impossl-
BILE to get everybody to follow along the
lines of safety, 1t is not only advisable but
necessary that measures be taken for their
protection.
That is why the law requires a lifeboat
and life preservers on the beach. These,
however are not enough. There should be
at all times when there are persons in bath
ing in the surf an expert life saver on duty
with long line about his waist or Shout
ders. He should patrol the bathing place,
keeping his eyes constantly on the bathers,
watching for the slightest sign of distress.
Such human safeguard would be worth
dozen lifeboats depending on the skilled
hands to man them.

From the New YORK Sun.
You may not be aware of the fact"
said library worker but New York Is
already in the first line of the places to
which those engaged In research work come
for the purpose of reading up on their spe-
cialties. 1 am not referring now to our pub
lie libraries, for magnificent as their foun-
dalton is, they lag behind the great public
libraries in Washington. London and Paris
But there are scores of lesser libraries of
which few have any knowledge save those
who are interested in the specialties to
which they are devoted OF semi-pubic
class are the libraries of many societies,
the Academy of Medicine, the Chemists
Club, the United Engineers. the Historical
Society, the divinity schools and a dozen
more whose names will readily suggest
themselves Then there are private libra
ries, the treasure of individuals who have
gone far toward obtaining all the published
literature on some particular topic. 1t
would not be difficult to name score such
in New York that are known to scholars
the wide world over. and through the favor
of their owners they are opened freely for
consultation of such as come duly intro
duced."

ODD TRAIT OF MANKIND.
Human Nature Ever Prone to Get
Something for Nothing.

From the Atlanta Journal.
Human nature may be more productivity
worked than gold mine If you know a
right method.
General Manager Chapman OF the In
dianapolis and Eastern Electric railway re-
Gently utilized his knowledge of human ma
ture in a novel way.
His companX>had a park. the soil of which
1t wanted to pillow up and pulverize thor
oughly at small cost, at the same time at
tracing some traffic to the park 1t there
fore buried $500 in gold coin in various
parts of the park and threw the place open
to any patron of the street cars that wished
to dig. prescribing only that none but small
hand implements should be used.
The plan worked admirably. The cars
were thronged with amateur miners and by
the time all the coin was found the entire
surface of the park had been loosened up
and reduced to powder to an extent that
no landscape gardener ever saw equaled.
The street car company got its $500 back
In fares and at the same time got it's park
thoroughly plowed for nothing. Many will
tenderly recall the old school reader story
of the dying father who called his sons to
his bedside and informed them that though
the old farm he was about to leave them
was worn out and had become unproduc-
tive. there was buried somewhere upon 1t a
great treasure. and if they would persist
emily dig for ii they would surely find rich
reward The sons digged and digged and
digged, turning the old farm upside down
and inside out, and. though they found no
sign of the gold they expected their har-
vests or grain became enormous and their
reward was richer than they knew
Through some popularity in our construc
ton We are willing to work ten times as
hard TO get something for nothing" as to
earn 1t in ordinary ways.

The London Death Rate.
From American Medicine.


Notwithstanding its size and numerous
congested districts. London must be re-
garded as one of the healthiest cities In the
world. brief note by DR.. George New
man on the annual report for 1904 shows
a very satisfactory state of health for such
great city. The death rate for the year
was 1916: this, with the exception of 1903,
is the lowest on record. The chief decrease
in deaths during the last few decades has
been in those from smallpox. scarlet fever,
diphtheria and typhoid fever. There has
also been a decrease In mortality from
measles and whooping cough. but practi-
cally none from epidemic dysentery. Little
or no Improvement has occurred In such
general diseases as tuberculosis (excepting
pulmonary. malignant disease. nervous
diseases and those of the heart and circulas
tory apparatus. These. with pneumonia and
bronchitis, contribute most largely to the
mortality. The report also shows that dur
ing 1904 the birth rate was 2T.9, the lowest
on record. 1t has steadily declined since
1867. the greatest diminution being in those
districts which socially are highest In the
scale. The marriage rate for the year. II.
was lower. with three exceptions, than it
had been since fSa5.- On the whole, the
health officers of London may we'll be proud
nj the standing of their city.

The Therapeutic Uplift.

Neither the degradation OF true thera-
peutics by the blameworthy manufacture
OF secret medicine, nor the sorry vogue OF
those whose interest in a patient and his
disease ends in diagnosis with little or no
care for treatment, can prevent the reha-
bilitation of drug treatment on a scientific
pas1s Let therapeutic nihilism have as
speedy an end as 1t deserves! The thera-
peutic upiift has, OF course, only begun al
though its solid scientific foundations were
la1d when pathology contributed dfphtheria
antitoXin to the materia medica and when
phaTmacology found a place in our schools.
Inc rehabilitation of therapeutics is under
way. The road is staked out, the profess
sion Is being invited to follow the reputable
ana scientific path, and all that remains to
be done Is that the physician shall omen his
eyes to the facts and be guided thereby
This means, no doubt, that the fight is vet
70 be won by the forces of simple, accurate
therapeutics. With a recognition of the
forward trend of evolution and full appre-
hension of the strength of the reform moye-
ment, the favorable outcome is not in
DOUBT: Indicative is the fact that the
American Medical Association will UNDER
take to lead the way to therapeutic dis
elimination. When impartial experts will
compile volume containing the exact facts
regarding remedies-old, new and proprie-
tary, no longer VIII ignorance of true COM
position and value excuse the physician
who blindly accepts the manufacturers
statements, unless those statements have
been made with due regard for profess
sional honor and commercial probity. The
millennium is not in sight. but the initia-
tive of the American Medical Association
and the support of growing healthy profess
sional sentiment fully Justify the expecta-
ton that the next decade will witness the
marked retrogresSion of all the forces that
led to the downfall of therapeutics This
happy outcome will be supported by the
medical schools that give increasing i'm
portance to instruction and research in
pharmacology.
