THE ADVANCE Of MEDICINE AS A
SCIENCE.
SCIENCE.
BY DR.. Wilbert Shallenbereer

All fields of endeavor are rapidly be-
ing placed on an accurate and scientific
plane. This is particularly true of
Medicine and its practice. Modern
old. and the days of "guess work. are
rapidly giving way to the careful and
exacting methods Of the medical scien.
tist.
The physician of "today" realizes that
his first duty, to himself and patient
other words, to discover the exact loca-
ton and ailment from which the patient
suffers. So often doctor may be
asked: as not the successful treatment
Of disease more important than dis
covering the exact kind or nature of the
disease?" and this question is easily
answered by counter question: SIS it
possible to repair or replace a broken
part of machine, for instance, without
knowing the exact location and nature
of the trouble in the part affected?" We
know that it Is not.
Treatment Of disease. to be successful.
must embrace a complete and thorough
knowledge Of the disease in question.
For if this were not true, one kind Of
medicine or one course of treatment
as another. To take an example, ex-
perience has taught physicians that
quinine does not cure everything, and,
In, fact is practically valueless in all
diseases with the exception OF malaria,
commonly called "chills" or "ague."
But the time was not so far distant in
the past when quinine was a favorite
medicine in almost any disease. What
has caused the discrimination Of this
drug in practically all diseases but
malaria? The question is easily answer
ed: new methods of the scientist have
made it possible for the physician to
know absolutely If patient has this
disease; not only that. but the exact
form from which he suffers. In the past
this was not possible and auinine was
given to be on the safe side. Now con-
slider for moment the tremendous value
Of knowing absolutely If patient has
malaria. If he has, quinine would be
the drug he should have, but on the
other hand, If he has not, it would not
only be of no value, but in addition be
distinctly harmful.
If this be true Of quinine and malaria,
1t is true Of many. many other diseases
and conditions. Medicine carelessly
trouble, not only fails to aid, but causes
distinct harm.
A hundred years ago it was only pos
sible for physicians to recognize the
very advanced and hopeless cases Of
tuberculosis; naturally these all died.
and thus the impression was received
that the dreaded disease was fatal.
Again science has stepped in and made
it possible for the modern and uB-to-
date physician of today to recognize
the very very early and incipient cases;
the microscope, the stethoscope and the
delicate tuberculin tests have made this
possible, combined, of course. with the
ever increasing experience Of the physi-

Success In Business

"A very serious question" Thus Car
dinal Gibbons characterizes in a letter
to me query which l have just ad-
dressed to certain representative Phil
adelphians and few others, says a
writer in the Philadelphia Ledger.
IF young man came to you seek
ing your advice, what would you give
him as the first rule Of SUGGEST"
The answer received from the great
and good cardinal whom so many thou
sands Of Philadelphians love and re-
we're is as follows:
"A young man should first consider
to what vocation he is called by tenn
permanent and inclination, or, rather,
by Divine guidance, and after deciding
on the business or profession he is to
embrace he should devote all his ener-
gies to reach the goal of success
HE should avoid every pleasure and
distraction that would divide or weak
en- his attention to the pursuit of life
which he has chosen.
and he should avoid the common
error Of imagining that success de-
ponds on the acquisition Of wealth or
fame. No; success is attained by do
ing well what we do and remaining
faithfully at the post of duty.
I'm short, his aim of life should be
to place principle before popularity,
duty before pleasure and Christian
righteousness before expediency. He
should endeavor, in a word, to be
man Of upright character, which is
more precious than riches and more
enduring than fame"

Hill Dill-A Game.

To play hill dill the boys and girls
are divided into two parties, and they
stand in two parallel lines about thirty
to fifty feet apart. The one who is 'it''
stands in the center and calls, "Hill
dill, come over the hill," when the
players on the sides must exchange
places. As they run across the open
space, ut" may try to tag as many as
he can. Those tagged become his pris-
oners and must help him after that to
tag the other players until everybody is
caught.

Real Elixir of Life.

Contentment is the real elixir of life.
1t is the real fountain from which flow
the waters Of perennial youth. Some
times it costs an effort, tremendous
effort, to say it is all right when our

who can say it is much better off for
thus looking at the sunny side of the
world than the person who harbors
a grievance against all mankind and

Sian LANGUAGES,

1t is said that Gen. Hugh S. Scott
is one of the worlds greatest experts
in sign language, and that without
any fighting he has settled more dis
putes with Indians than any other man
In history. Most of them were set
tied, too, without spoken word, just
by signs and gestures. General Scott
speaks practically every North Amer
lean Indian dialect, besides being
familiar with the primitive languages
of other lands.
