medical Science.

In the Journal des Debats. DR.. Da'
Temberg gives an account OF medical
education during the middle ages. Ow-
ing TO the influence OF the Arabian doc
tors, medicine was then regarded al
most as an exact science. In the elev-
enth century the school OF Salerno was
celebrated as the representative OF Hip
pocratic principles. while Bagdad Cal
70 and Cordova followed Galen. To-
ward the close OF the middle ages,
there was a craze for performing ex-
perIments upon the living human body.
AS is well-known vivisection OF human
subjects was extensively practiced in
the school OF medicine at Alexandria.
Under Ptolemy Softer. 600 convicts were
handed over to the surgeons. who
opened their bodies in order to observe
respiration and the action OF the heart.
In our own time, many well-known
men Of science have experimental upon
themselves. Especially famous are the
self-inoculations OF Hunter and Ricord.
OF Pasteur and his disciples. while In
physiology the experiments of Spallan-
aani. Brown-Sequard. stark and Rabu-
aeau are classic. But II in former times
the pursuit Of medical science was
cruel and bsrbarous, the practitioner
was well trained In what might be
called bedside etiquette" Arlcbima-
fbaeus, Of Salerno, gives number OF
rules, which we believe are not unob-
served ct the present time. He says,
for example: Promise to cure the pa
tient; tell his friends that he is very
seriously III; then II you cure him your
reputation is increased; IL be dies. 1t
will be said that you foresaw his
death"

Accommodating Mr.. noffdt.

The Gore Canon controversy between
the United States government and the
Moffat road is not ended yet and the
amusing feature of the affair is that
while the government has been busy
looking up other routes than Gore
canon for Mr.. Moffat's road, Moffat
has been as industriously at work
looking up reservoir sites for Uncle
Sam, which will answer the purpose
quite as well as the Gore canon site.
Engineer Paul Rlount, we'll known in
Garfield county, has been assigned to
this work and has succeeded in finding
a number of excellent locations which
the Moffat people will recommend to
the government as equal to, or su
perior to Gore canon. One of these
is the Browns park country. where
Mr.. Blount claims ,53l. 800 acre feet
can be stored as against l,495, 600 for
the Gore Canon site. Several other
sites are suggested, many of which
are much nearer the lands where the
water is to be used in Arizona and
California. than the Kremling or Gore
site. The trial will take place in the
federal court next Friday when Mr..
Blounts figures and statement will be
submitted in evidence.
