Short Lives Among Doctors.

The premature death of physicians,
says American Medicine, has long been
known, but il receives too little com
ment. as a study of the causes must
suggest remedy or two. A wise edi-
torial on this subject in the last num-
Der of the Hahnemannian Monthly is
therefore timely and bound to be pro-
ductive of good results. 1t is based
upon the 55th annual report of the reg
istrar general, and shows that the dis
eases which claim the most victims
among physicians relatively 10 all
males. are govt and diabetes, and that
there is a high relative mortality from
diseases of the nervous system, circu-
latory system and kidneys.
From the nature of his habits the
physician is not subject to accidents,
and though he is brought into contact
with infection TO a greater extent than
other men. his preventive means are
successful and his mortality from in
lection is very low. Freedom from pro
longed muscular strains and high blood
tension apparently saves him from ar
terioscierosis. but suicide claims many,
and so do the drug habits acquired by
the nervously exhausted. II has been
said that three-fourths of French NOR
phine users are physicians.
The cause of the physicians early
death is evidently the excessive nerv-
Gus expenditure, insufficient rest and
defective nutrition inseparable from
his calling with its broken and restrict
ed sleep. irregular hours of work. rest
and meals, the worry when lives de,
pend upon his judgment and the lack
of day of complete relaxation in each
week. No race can survive unless its
customs provide for the numerous holi-
days when care is thrown to the winds
for no nervous system is capable of
constant strain. The physician who
sees his patients every day in the
week, month after month, and cannot
learn to forget them when he goes
home, merely burns the candle at both
ends.
He violates the law Obeyed by every
other animal that there shall be short
periods of moderate exertion Interrupt
ted by longer periods of rest when re
pairs are made. II is not too much
as a rule. but scattered work which
prevents rest.

are, without exception, the best in the
world
What the laps know about fighting
on sea and land, they have learned
largely from this country. Their drill
masters were West Point and Annapo-
lis men.
II would indeed be interesting TO
know if the Japs fought the Russians
much as the English fought the Dutch
at the battle of Dundee, when
Murphy brought in Sullivan. Flanna-
gan brought ORourke,
Daily captured Hennessey, and Donnel-
" Mike McGork."
