FEW ENRICHED BY PRACTICE.

-
Right here IL might be we'll 10 say that
few physicians get rich as direct result
Of their practice. The expense OF main
taining Z practice often overbalances the
receipts from patients, as besides the nee
essaries Of life. the practitioner must have
an equipment OF more or less expensive in
struments, and must pay Office rent as
vel as rent CT living apartments Ser
wants must also be employed q man TO
open the door, and in many cases maids TO
attend waiting patients His Office must
be furnished with regard for the taste of
MS clients, anS he must be situated in
desirable part Of the neigh borhood he has
chosen 10 practise in. In other words,
relatively heavy amount Of expenses must
be incurred by most doctors before they
have built up any practice at all
Il IS during this period Of anxious wait
ing while expenses mount up that the
physician experiences the greatest tempta-
tons 10 rransgress The average doctor
Is thankful II ne makes only his expenses
curing the first year Of his practice One
instance comes TO mind Of young physi-
clan who celebrated his advent into the
medical profession by getting married.
His dreams, like those Of all young prac-
cnoners- were not wanting IN brightness,
bu1 during the first month that his name
vas displayed with an NJ D. attached his
expenditures amounted TO twice as much
as his receipts Doctors are only human,
and Il cannot be considered at all remark

temptations under such circumstances
The president Of a st. Louis medical COL
lege once said 10 his graduating class:

THE BoGEY, APPENDICITIS.

And now for that bogey, appendicitis.
Professor Osler is quoted as saying:
Surgeons are finding altogether too
many cases of appendicitis these days. Ap-
pendicitis is becoming 50 common and so
easily detected that the physicians wife
can diagnose d case Of it over the tete-
phone
But there is money TO be made by re-
moving persons appendix, and some
practitioners are most accommodating in
their preparedness TO perform such opera
tions, whether they are necessary or not.
For instance, a surgeon once operated
on a patient in the presence Of a num-
Der of doctors. The incision was made.
and while the surgeon was discoursing
upon the operation he inserted his fingers
into the very expensive cut and located the
appendix From the touch he knew 1t was
unaffected, whereupon he proceeded to
pinch and squeeze it to give it a diseased
appearance. He then removed the NAL
treated appendage and held it up TO the
gaze of his admiring brother physicians.
nronouncing the usual bywords: Just in
time. Just in time"
And further, it is common knowledge in
the medical profession that there are those
who will pretend TO perform operations for
appendicitis and merely make cut in the
skin. then sew it UP again-three or four
stitches at 500 or so a stitch.
For a person who was suffering from
tuberculosis, a physician advised plenty of
sleep in the open air, but that cap should
he worn TO avoid catching cold The doctor
nroposed TO furnish the cap, and he did so.
accorlpanying it with a bill for 81 p, where
as 50 cents would have been high figure
The patient sent the cap back to the doc
tor with the following comment:
Dear Doctor: You told me that l needed
nlenty of sleep. I'm sure could never
sleep wink knowing that was wearing
nightcap that cost SIS
The cap came back without any bill at

IGNORANCE UNCoNFESSED.

Are physicians ever tempted to treat a
case Of which they know they are ig-
norant? Here are a few cases which tend
TO show they are:
4 physician was once called on to treat
a girl who was suffering from some dis
ease OF the brain. He announced, after
he had examined the girl. that he could
cure her malady in one week. but that she
would have TO go to q certain hospital,
where the charge for the week would be
something like $50. His fee was to be
s25 visit. The patient was taken to the
hospital and the doctor proceeded with
his treatment. At the expiration OF the
week the girls father was sent for.
I'm sorry said the doctor TO him, with
a pained expression. but I am afraid
that after all I don't know what is the
matter with your daughter" He then
volunteered the information that he knew
a state alienist who could absolutely cure
her for the sum Of 500 The father hesi-
tated to place the fate of his child at the
mercy Of the friend OF a physician who
had exhibited his own lack Of knowledge
OF the disease from which she was suffer
ing. He did. however, place the case in
the hands of another doctor, who after
he had diagnosed it, said the girl had been
treated for the wrong trouble by the other
physician. And he effected q cure to
prove It
Another young woman was informed by
q physician that she was suffering from
some spinal disease. He recommended cleo
trical treatment, and when he had been
giving il for some time without result
other than an accommodating bill the girl
was led TO try another doctor. This latter
recommended simple. inexpensive calls
themes, and the young woman was soon
over her trouble.
A New York City practitioner had been
treating baby for many months with
out doing it any good. The parents one
time had the child in the country, and
while there called in a rural physician TO
attend the infant, as sudden attack of
the trouble had come on. This doctor dag
nosed the case as dyspepsia, effected q
rapid cure and rendered a bill for rs cents.
Subsequently the city doctor sent IN a. bill
for treating the child amounting to s1S5.
Payment of this was refused by the par
ents, and the physician threatened TO take
the matter TO court, but he never did, nor
did he collect the money.
4 young boy was taken to a physician
who examined him by the use of the X
ray The child complained of some trouble
in his throat, and, after using the rays,
the doctor announced that the boy had
sucked something into his throat and
would have TO be operated on. The op-
Grafton cost 500, and it was discovered that
the boy was only suffering from bronchitis

Tall BUILDING FOR Bees.

The tall building idea is found to
be successful with bees as with city
folk. Many beekeepers claim that bees
swarm because they have not enough
room for their work. Swarming is
the bane of the beginner in the indus
try. It will be found that a colony
can be started out with single story
hive. AS the season advances a sec
ond story can be added. Then a
third and on until the capacity of the
hive will be about so pounds. This
method has been tried with success
BY beekeepers of experience.

Rights.

The American people undoubtedly
are entitled to a great many rights,
and If the truth were known it would
show these rights to be worth having.
But the trouble with these rights is
that they are never around when they
are needed. They are either in cold
storage or in safe-deposit boxes or in
litigation or in some ward-heeler's
vest pocket. inaccessible rights are
worse than no rights at all.-Life.

During the first seventy-five years
of Independence our consuls as well
as diplomats wore a uniform or Off
cial dress. as it was called, prescribed
by the state department, and modified
from time to time. The last changes
were made for Mr.. Livingston, secre-
tary of state for Andrew Jackson, and
the diplomatic dress consisted or
blue coat and blue pantalOons. with
gold embroidery and a white waist
coat Though simple in form, it rep
resented the diplomatic dress of other
countries. The consular attire was
similar, though the naval button was
prescribed and the costume had some
thing of a naval air Diplomats and
consuls wore small swords, but no
epaulets.
