HOW DOCTORS HAVE CHANGED
Fewer Whiskers and Frock Coats and
Less Mystery About Them Than
Formerly.

Formerly the doctor had to wear
sideburns or Van Dyke, else he was
under suspicion of being frivolous. A
frOck coat was a part of his disguise.
He eXhaled an odor Of strong drugs.
He rubbed his hands and shook his
head as part Of every bedside dag
nosis.
He was Il good doctor, too, in many
ways, and his helpful sympathy and
his unfiaggng service to his patients,
whom he cherished as few physicians
cherish theirs in this day when every
family Is likely to patronize a dozen
specialists endeared him to the COM
munity. b..
Patients and their troubles are now
often matter of card indeXing and
Of very exact courses of treatment.
Social medicine" is slowly doing
away with the charity practice which
every physician once carried on for
the benefit of his own soul. The pub
lie Is being taken into the confidence
Of its healers, and so rapidly do pop
ular magazines spill forth news Of
the latest advances that it is an astute
practitioner who can converse on all
the medical topics brought up by
those who enter his consultation room.
The doctor Is more scientist, more
of business man, less of a sage and
oracle. But we still have that happy,
childlike trust in him as in the days
when pneumonia was signal for bat
tened windows and when cool water
was regarded as a deadly thing when
taken internally by a fever victm.-

A big bookshop always seems to us

is one to turn? To guide one to what
is really worth while there should be

voice:

Originally Latin Phrase,

The origin of the phrase: "All my
eye, Betty Martin comes of mispro-
annexation of the Latin 80 mihi, beate
Martine," which is literally, 90 blessed
Martin (help) me" and is found in
several litanies of the middle ages.
Now it is slang for lie. There are
several such Latin phrases which have
been degraded or transmitted. Hocus
pocus is derived from the solemn "hoc
est corpus" and siserary is a corrup-
ton of certiOrari.

Mr.. WALKER HERE
FOR BRIEF VISIT
CONGRESSMAN SPENDS A DAY
MIXING WITH THE PEOPLE
OF BRUNSWICK.

Congressman ]. r. Walker arrived
in the city yesterday morning and
spent the day here meeting the peo-
pie of the city. 1t was the first visit
the congressman mas made &c Bruins
wick since congress convened in the
fall.
When questioned as to the general
political outlook, Mr. Walker stated
that there was every indication that
Woodrow Wilson would be reelected.
A few months ago, he said the situa-
tion did not look quite so good, but
recently every change has been in
favor of the great Wilson administra-
tion, and just before he left Wash
ington he said the belief was eX-
pressed on every side that President
Wilson would be reelected over
whelmingly. Mr.. Walker is a great
admirer of the chief executive and
has stood right with him in all of the
great measures enacted into law in
the past few years.
Mr.. Walker expressed himself as
being delighted with the cordial sup
port he is receiving all over the Elev-
enth district in his race for re-elec-
ton, and he believes he will be re-
turned to congress by the largest ma
jority ever given him.
Mr.. Walker said that he was just
paying the people OF Brunswicka pop
call, so to speak Ho saw quite a
number of his friends while here, and
| announced that he would return to
the city later in the campaign and
deliver an address, at that time dis
cussing with the people. the issues
involved in the contest.
