INCOMPETENT ADVICE AS TO HEALTH.
Contributed BY he Society Coiumtda)

When the writer of this article was q
medical student an old negro came to
him with an infected wound OF the
hand and asked for treatment. The IN
lection had spread up the arm, and the
old man was at the beginning OF what
proved to be q long and serious illness
from blood poisoning. The student. recog-
mixing that he was not able to treat 50
serious a condition. advised the patient
to consult the neighborhood practitioner.
who was q competent and slillful doctor.
The following dialogue ensued:
"'Deed, aim gwine to DIR. W."
.'Why not? He's a good doctor"
.I done take some er his medicine for
dis here han, an 1t ain done 1t no
good"
II thought you said he had not seen
your hand"
$50 he amt But done take some er
his medicine he lef' homo for my wife,
an 1t didn' hep me I ALL"
The old mans wife had died four years
previously Of cancer.
The humorous and absurd side OF the
above incident is obvious. because the
contrasts are so glaring: but the attitude
of the old negro toward medicine is IN
principle that Of Q large number OF more
intelligent persons. who would be quick
to ridicule him.
For example:
An apparently intelligent woman. suner-
ing with consumption. was informed OF
her condition, and was staying at q BOARD
| ing house until her physician could make
arrangements for her admission 70
sanitarium. Here she met . fellow
boarder. who induced her to resort to 2
ouack practitioner of eleotrtc treatment.
| and % to spend her small store Of money

and lose her chance OF recovery. This
fellow boarder considered himself quail
fed to give advice in such a case because
his own case Of piles had been relieved
by electricity.
Again:
A man whose neurasthenia had, under
the advice Of q physician, been improved
by certain stimulating baths. undertook
to urge an acquaintance who was suffer-
ing from Bright's disease to resort to the
Same treatment. Examples Of this kind
might be multiplied indefinitely.
Whatever may be the shortcomings OF
physicians, 1t would seem fair to pre-
sumo that the man who has made a life
study Of disease and who has had the ex-
perience Of a large number OF cases is
better qualified to give advice In sickness
than the individual who has suffered from
q single malady. and imagines that his
personal Impressions Of this case. qualify
disease whatsoever. In any other con-
Germ Of life. finance, farming, law, real
estate. building. or what not. we seek the
advice Of the best trained expert we can
obtain. In matters Of health alone, Of
health, the most valuable asset q human
being can possess, we take advice Of any
one who pretends to offer 1t.
It will be said that 1t Is the doctors in
terest to write thus; that he gives advice
to buy his own wares. Granted that this
be the case: that doctors give counsel
against taking advice from the ignorant
in matters of health from no other motive
than self-interest: the advice is obviously
sound. and the facts in the matter can
take care Of themselves apart from the
motive for their presentation. 1t would.
however. be wiser to follow Montaigne's
advice. and consult no one. but follow
the sweet impulses Of nature. than to al
low ones self to be guided in matters OF
health by those who are obviously in
competent.

GREAT FRIEND OF POOR
Dowager Countess of Shrews-
bury Succumbs at Her
London Home.

Special Cablegram to TIE Star.
LONDON. August 81.!The Dowager
Countess Of Shrewsbury. mother OF the
present earl, died at her London resi-
dence. She was q daughter OF Com
mander Cockeren, R. N. She married the
nineteenth Ear Of Shrewsbury and Tai
bot In 1856
BY her death the London poor lose q
stanch and sympathetic friend. In 1908
the Lambeth Guardians rendered her their
official thanks on the completion OF thirty
years work among the poor Of South
London, whom she constantly visited in
their homes and at the workhouse.
"It was a very different thing for wom-
en- IKE myself to do anything in tho way
Of public work thirty years ago. In my
young days. Of course, any woman who
came forward to help her fellow-orea-
lures was looked upon as self-assertive
and unwomanly.
Then came the great change. Partly,
perhaps, Dickens was the inspiring
spirit, partly Charles Kingsley; but the
great event that proved forever the ne
suffering was the sending Of Florence
Nightingale to the Crimea. I remember
well the outcry at the time. There were
people who thought it almost d1sgraceful.
But my father believed IN 1t all through.
you see, I was brought up from the
first in an atmosphere OF broad minded
sympathy. My husband himself. when he
was q young guardsman. WAS pioneer
in the housing Of the poor, and built
some dwellings for artisans In the Strand
LAS regards the Lambeth Board Of
Guardians. the difference Is that, whereas
we women used to have to ask to be al
lowed to help and visit our poorer Es-
ters, we are now invited. and-as you see
even thanked"
