The Power of Optimism


we hope, benefit, an article by DR.. ].
e. Murphy in The Maine Sanitorium
News. on The Personal Equation in
the Cure" Its philosophy is summed.
I'D in the declaration that each in
dividual must be the greatest factor
in his own recovery. 1t is true. But
how largely depends the weaker
makeup of the patient upon the
stronger personality OF physician or
nurse. or both. The invalid must be
fed courage to make the fight. The
optimistic physician or surgeon vita
courage giving smile and word, lifts
the patient over many a crisis.
Carlyle said: "Wondrous is the
strength of cheerfulness, altogether
past calculation its powers Of endur-
apce." Emerson put it this way:
s.Do not hang a dismal picture on your
wall. and do not deal with sable and
glooms in your conversation. But
Dr. Talmadge voiced a philosophy
which has penetrated the soul of
every man who has reached middle
s1ife, when he said: Some people have
an idea that they comfort the afflicted
when they groan over them. Don't
drive a hearse through a mans SOUL
It was said of Cromwell that hope
shone like fiery pillar in him when
1t had gone out in all others.
Hope and cheer-O, the lives they
have saved and the disasters they have
averted.
The other Sunday local pastor re-
marked that the earthly presence Of a
few fine characters had prolonged and
made better the lives of millions and
made life worth while to them.
through optimism, courage and up
lifting presence.
To our mind instantly arises the
fine face of remarkable mana man
who, in his special line sof work,
stands at the head of the worlds
army Of great surgeons-Dr Hugh H.
Young Of Johns Hopkins Hospital at
Baltimore Md, and we wonder how
many men are today living and en-
joying good health because of this
mans skill-and presence. We select
him as a type representing the pas
tors meaning, because we know him
and can speak from personal know
ledge and gratitude. This man of
modest demeanor, of tact and great
sympathy, is yet in the prime of life.
His success as surgeon is marvellous,
and we hope he will be spared many
years in the service of humanity.
But to stick to our text, we believe
that DR.. Youngs success as surgeon
is due in no small degree to the cour-
age and hope which his presence in
spires in his patients. The patient
feels instinctively that he Knows"
that he is always on charted ground.
and that he is ready to meet every
emergency. His entrance fills the sick
room with cheer and confidence. All
gloom is dispelled. Nurses, attendants
and physicians partake of the optim-
ism Of the master mind.
We agree with DIR. Murphy that each
individual must be the greatest factor
in his own recovery, but we believe the
Doctor will also agree with us that the
courage given the patient by physician,
surgeon and nurse largely controls the
personal equation"

With bullet hole in it's side
Only pain-racked deer. that stood
And hraved the danger as best he could,
Then fell in the brush and died
Only a timid, frightened deer,
That was bleeding as 1t ran
Chased from its home in the thicket

To suffer, die, In the woodland drear-
The prey of so-called Man.
Only deer, kind, gentle, tame,
Stretched dead by a human hand.
Yet men (pray note the noble name)
Still impudently rise to claim
This is a Christian land.
