INTERESTING letter
FROM ABROAD

DR.. Benjamin +. Diseroad, VIII O
was graduated last spring from the
University of Pennsylvania, and who
later sailed for England, has written
a letter to friend in Danville, giving
many interesting impressions of the
City of Edinburgh, Scotland. The let
ter in part follows:
arrived all o. K. at Liverpool and
came up here to Edinburgh, Scotland
for week to visit the university and
hospital.
"Am attending the clinics every
morning here at the hospital from 8 to
l 80 and then in the afternoon go out
for recreation. Am stopping with an
other U. of Pa. student. We are liv-
ing just opposite the university and
have things very convenient.
Zone feels strange here and looks it,
too, l imagine, because, you know, /
am among a race of people AID not a
mixture of races as in the States.
Their style of dress is quite different
and every young man makes himself
conspicuous who does not carry cane.
The men all wear their moustaches
waxed and curled up-but | don't.
lit is quite cold here, about like our
November weather. The best combina-
tion here in Scotland is an overcoat
and Scotch whiskey. The number of
intoxicated boys one sees here is re-
markable. Saturday night the streets
were crowded and there were more
drunk than sober. They also have
LADY" bartenders.
WAS down to one of their best
theaters last night and to my surprise
found the men sitting in the orchestra
and all over the house with their hats
on and most of them smoking pipe
or cigar, regardless of the fair sex.
It is simply their custom, and nobody
seems to object.
"A more beautiful city than Edin-
burgh with its old buildings does not
exist. You know this city was the
home of all the Scottish kings and
queens. Edinburgh castle stands here
today and is the pride of all Scotland.
1t stands in the center of the town on
a huge rock 800 feet high and is an
impressive sight TO see. The monu-
ments of Scott and Burns. the poets,
are great. There are numerous monu-
ments and they all stand out we'll be-
cause there is lots of space between
them and the buildings.
"One afternoon this week took a
ride with party to see the fourth
bridge which spans the Firth river
1t is one of the wonders of the world
and makes the Brooklyn bridge look
like a miniature We drove out in a
high coach with four horses, about ten
miles. We passed through some beauti-
full country, and as we rolled along
through spaces of sunshine and then
into the woods and up ravines we
would occasionally come in sight of
an old 'astle which had stood the at
tacks OF the jealous and ambitions
clansmen centuries ago. -
DR.. Diseroad states in conclusion
that he intended to spend week in
London and few days in Paris be-
fore going to Vienna where he will
take up a course at the University.

Are said often to be buried six feet under

their family physicians, suffering, as they
imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from
heart disease, another from liver or kid

and in this way they present alike to
themselves and their easy-going or over
busy doctor, separate diseases, for which
he, assuming them TO be such, prescribes
his pills and potions. !1 reality, they are
disease. The PNysieian, ignorant OF the

how many men and women come to
Perth Amboy every day to work, but
who live in the neighboring towns, go
to the Central station about 6
o'clock. There are hundreds of them
and the little station does not begin to
accommodate the throng.
1t is encouraging to know that the
railroad officials show even enough
interest in the matter to make an in
spection. In fact the visit made here
yesterday looks like business Wei
will hold that official to his word
when he said that new station would
be built here within the next two
years. That is something. 1t is
more than we ever had before and it
means progress. We rejoice to know
that we can look forward to new
station, even if 1t is two years away.
That is better than looking into the
dim and distant future and seeing
nothing at all. We give the Central
railroad credit for having the inten-
tion at least, and, aside from occa-
sionally reminding them of the prom
I .. -
two years, we will be patient and
await its coming. BY that time Perth
Amboy will have reached the 10000
