Medical Ethics In China.


In an article In the Journal of Race
Development on the practice of medi
cine In China, DR.. G. w Young OF. the
Union Medical college Of Peking
quotes this from a work on medical
ethics:
When patient Is severely III treat
him as thou wouldest wish to be treat
ed thyself. II thou art called to a con
tation 90 ut once; and do not delay
n he ask thee for medicine giye.it to
him at once. and do not ask If he be
rich or poor. Use thy heart always to
save life and to please all. So viii
thine own happiness be exalted In
the midst OF the darkness OF the world
be sure there Is some one who is pro
tecting thee. When thou art called to
an acute illness and thinkest with all
thy might Of nothing but making mon
ey out Of the patient, II thy heart be
not filed with love Of thy neighbor. be
sure that In the world there Is some
one who will punish thee"

Early New York.

New York city had become one Of
the most important places on the coast
before 1850 Its great advantages
were its fine harbor and the noble nv
er which emptied into It The other
towns on the coast were shut OF from
the far west by the Appalachian
mountains or the Alleghenies, which
follow the Atlantic coast at a distance
Of 100 to 200 miles from it from Geor
gia to Maine. But the Hudson river
broke through this barrier and gave
New York easy access to Canada and
the profitable Indian trade. In 1901
the city contained about 4.3O0 inhab-
itants. about one-third being slaves

truth in this statement. Had you ever

competition makes every one just a

telephone is one thing that should have

when we have two or three systems in
a town, and then it is more expensive,
too, and yet sometimes l am almost
persuaded-not meant for Newberry-
that a little competition in the tele-
phone business might be good for
manners. Courtesy, politeaess, kind

little use l make of the telephone in
