Editor The Bamberg Herald: 1T
is a real JOY to be at home again in
Bamberg. Some one recently re-
marked, "Bamberg is the best town
between Bamberg and Augusta
can say, from the heart, more: Bam-
berg is the best town between Bam-
berg and Baltimore. 1t is not the
biggest. 1t is not the richest, but
on it's own scale it has the elements
that go into the making of the finest.
It is our own town. 1t is home, for
me, "home" in the sense of the def
milton Home is where the heart is. -
It is good to be back, and with the
assurance of expert specialists that |
may soon be at work again with full
strength. DR.. L. F. Barker, who had
my case lin charge for advice and
supervision, and DR.. J. T. Geraghty,
the specialist by whom 1 was treated,
pronounce the trouble cured and the
cause removed. Naturally some linn
itations caused by the ravages of
years must remain, but these need
not be a serious handicap. DR..
Barker gave final advice as to method
of living eminently suited to a re-
tired capitalist, but rather hard for
a Methodist preacher to follow who
wishes to keep in the work and out
of the hands of the joint board. 1
give the advice here for those who
may be in position to follow it: RE
tire at ten o'clock. Take half an
hour exercise in the open air each
morning, and another half hour each
afternoon. Lie down for an hour
each day after dinner. Never fatigue
yourself. Eat reasonably what you
like. Drink an abundance of water.
Look carefully after your teeth, es-
specially brushing before lying down
at night, and having a good dentist
20 carefully over them every three
months. Let us hear from you, and
if things 60 wrong come back" I'm
auestionably good regime, but as
unauestionably hard to follow by a
man who has real work to do, es-
necialN as the servant of the public.
Johns Hopkins.
The spirit of Johns Hopkins,
through and through, is courteous
efficiency. This spirit is evident
everywhere from the humblest Or
derly to the most distinguished spec
ialist. They do nothing hap-hazard.
They are equipped for the work they
attempt. They know what they are
doing, and they do it in way that
inspires confidence. The Brady
building, in which l was treated, is
the gift of a grateful patient at a
cost of nearly million dollars. The
tradition of the gift is that Mr.. Brady
paid DR.. Young, the distinguished
head of the department, 100000
for the treatment that fully restored
him, and then asked what he could
do for him that would be really
worth while. The answer is the pres
ent building with it's perfect equip
ment. Here those who can pay, as
Mr.. Brady, and those who can pay
nothing, receive the same scientific
treatment, and the same courteous
attention. Here they meet on COM
mon plane, and \go forth with the
same new life and hope. In my
heart, feel that friends of mine are
today in their graves who might have
been many years yet among us as ef-
ficient workers had they been direct
ed to these men at Hopkins.
In the theological department, DR..
Young is the head, and DR.. Geraghty
his chief associate. DR.. Geraghty is
yet a young man, and is the coming
man of this country in his depart
ment. Several vital things in the
wonderful treatment afforded at
Johns Hopkins are DR.. Geraghty's S
discovery. His wonderful skill is the
marvel of skilled men in his own
line. The world will hear more and
more of him, and increasing multi
tudes will join in praying long life
and every blessing upon this wonder
fully skilled specialist and princely
gentleman.
Several of the gentlemen through
whose hands I passed are sons OF
preachers. DR.. Barker, among these
rejoices as the son of preacher to
pass on to preachers of the gospel
such blessing as he may by his Skill
in memory of his honored father.
Let none who need what Johns
Hopkins can give hesitate because
of the idea that the cost is enormous
