HONOR TO CALL HIM FRIEND.
Medical Practitioner Ranks High In
Scale of Humanity.

To know medical practitioner is
to know one who is superior to the
average educated man. Few profes-
sions, perhaps no other, develop SO
much of character. The occupation of
healing and the necessity of behold
ing men and women and children at
their worst, irritable, unreasoning, and
often cowardly, has not, fortunately,
caused his own degeneration. His ca
pacity for thoughtfulness is trained to
keenness, his selfishness, where there
is any, is shrewdiy hidden, and the
human instinct for enjoyment is none
the less in him because of his knowl-
edge of its reactions.
That the doctors expectation of life
is short is the natural result of his
following calling that makes unnat-
ural demands. Only the more fortu-
nate specialists have time that they
can call their own. The doctors work
is always exacting often discouraging,
and invariably draws without mercy
on his nervous energy-Binghamto
