DOCTORS OF HEALTH.

affairs are ultimately questions Of health"
In other words 1t is going to be increasingly necessary
for only to everything possible to avoid dis

The work of the trained physician of the future is going
to be far more that of keeping people well than treating
people who sick From this point OF view Dr. Favl
crticises medical education of today because while
teaches the young physician everything that is known
about disease it teaches him at the same time very lit

necessarily based on good health-a sound mind in a
sound body This is the ideal toward which should
all aim both as individuals and as committees.
To it, as Or. Favi has well pointed out, two
things necessary: properly trained medical pro

which health can be preserved and public which Will

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. a.
The visitors to the national G. A. r.
encampment from West Virginia have
very nearly all departed with praise
on their lips ior the good times they
had here this week. Not few OF
the old soldiers went from here to
nearby battletlelds, aud after visiting
those consecrated spots, will continue
on to their homes.
The old soldiers from the state be-
gan to start for home soon after the
great anniversary review, In which
they took such proud part on Wed.
nesday. There were $50 Of them in
line, headed by a youth dressed as
Uncle Sam ana followed by {. barrel
OF Ice water on wheels anu negro al.
tendants. A sign on the car read:
THE West Virginia Water Wagon"
1t caused a ripple Of mirth oil along
the line Of march.
But the feature which caused the
old soldiers TO have as good time
as anything they did While here WAS
the banquet ana reception which was
rendered them by, the West Virginia
Society. 1t was fine success and
will be long remembered by hosts
and guests as one OF the very best
features OF this never.to-be-iorgotten
week.
