THE HlPP0cRATlAN OATH.
What Every Conscientious Physician
Undertakes to Do.

"Tirst and last, day and night, he
who has given himself to the cause Of
medicine sees the most sordid, the most
terrifying, the most pitiful, side Of hui
manity." says writer in AppletOn's
Magazine. His training is in the
slums, where the elements Of life may
touch even the lowest and basest. His
service Is demanded in sickness and
pain, and his final act. as irrevocably
as the rising Of the sun, Is to close the
eyes forever of others, even perhaps
those whom he brought into the world.
He is the pOssessOr of secrets, the re-
pository of sorrow.
Unto whatever house l enter I
will go for the benefit of the sick.
With purity and holiness will pass
my life and practice my art So ran
the oath administered by \HippocratSs
to his students almost FIVE centuries
before Christ. and so still stands today
the physicians ideal. Medicine then
partook of character of holiness, for
the student too, SwOre to reckon him
who taught me this art equally dear to
me as my parents. to look upon his off

brothers and to teach them this art If
they shall wish it without fee or stipu-

Of the life of the disciple of medicine
doubt that the spirit of this ancient
oath is rigidly observed in its practice,

The Grave Of Adam.

April was marked on old calendars
as the Memorial of ADAM" The ORR
entails relate that Adam, when dying.
charged his children to bury his body,
embalmed with myrrh. incense and
cassia. in the cave of Al-Kanuz, near
paradise. When they quilted the place
they were to convey his body to the
center of the earth, whence would
come salvation to his posterity. This
is said to have been done by Noah and
MelchiZedek, who reburied him on the
sacred hill of Calvary.-Chicago NewD
