In Turkey they have a~EIippecrattc
oath, though they do not call it by
that name. 1t is given in Al-Kulliyeh,
the magazine published by the Syrian
Protestant college in Beirut. To each
of the graduates in medicine the oath
was administered by the Turkish head
of the medical examining board. We
cite a few of the pledges:
THAT when I am called at the same
timely two different patients. the one
rich and the other poor, 4 will accept
the call of the poor without taking
into consideration the money offered
and will do my best for his treatment,
and that / viii never decline to an
swer any call day. or night, during the
reign Of common diseases or Of an
epidemic or of contagious diseases.
THAT / will not ask extra fees from
the patients and will not act against
my conscience by exaggerating their
sickness In order to get the calling
fees.
THAT In case of a doubt as. to the
treatment of a patient | will not leave
his life in danger through a failure to
consult other doctors on account of
my pride"

COMPLETION
OF NEW LINE
Jersey Central Company's
Work Practically Finished
on South Amboy Side.
NEARLY DONE IN CITY

With the completion in a week OF
80 of a double track from the Pennsyl
vania Railroad crossing in South Am
boy to the county road leading to the
bridge, the Jersey Central Traction
Company's line between this city and
South Amboy will be finished. A gang
of men are now working on the track
and have it laid, the present abo be
ing the filing in between the ties. Two
or three days will see the completion OF
the work on this side, consisting In re-
laying the asphalt in and between the
tracks at Market and Sheridan streets
A few days ago, the double track be
tween the bridge and the j%uneture of
the new line and the Public Service
Corporations tracks in Smith street was
opened. Cars are now using both
tracks practically eliminating former
frequent delays on this side of the
bridge.
Following the completion of the sys-
tenn, however, several improvements
will be made. Chief among them is
probably the laying of a "Y" at Broad
way and Main streets in South Amboy,
which will allow cars to urn from the
latter thoroughfaFe into Broadway with
out the motorman's changing his posi-
tion from the front to the real end of
the car.
Residents of South Amboy are highly
pleased with the operation of Public
Service ears over the bridge and as far
south as Pine avenue in South Amboy.
The P. 8. Cars were operated over the
new line for the first time Monday, the
initial car leaving Smith and Water
streets at Sill a. m. Thomas Mccarthy
of George street, South Amboy, was the
first passenger TO board a Public Service
car traversing the route. He left this
city for South Amboy on the first car
Monday morning.
Work on the draw has been practical
ly completed. The new road leading
from the county road into South Amboy
and running parallel with the tracks,
has been finished and is now used by
vehicles to and from this city.
Public Service cars leave this city
South Amboy every half hour, al
ternating with the j. C. T. ears so that
a car may be secured at intervals of if
minutes. The round trip consumes
little over an hour.
