 The library is the medicine chest of the soul" said Fred W, Edgerton Of the New London Rotary club. The Rotarians were kept in spasms Of laughter during the entire address by Dr. James D. McGaughey of NaiIingford. who explained the rela- tt1n of patient and physician. He told how some people known as ''rovers," try all the doctors and all the fads and patent medicines from the regular physician to the crystal gaZer.
 He told about people who take the physicians instructions so literally that one man swallowed the paper upon which the prescription was writ ten. He said the profession is devel- oping so many specialists that it sometimes looks as though the general public will become so well versed in medicine that people will go to a diff ferent physician for each ailment.
 He told about the patient who con- suits his physician, his friends and his neighbors and winds up by taking the neighbours advice.
 He told his hearers that the lawyer and minister see them at their best but the physician comes at a time when the stage is not set for his re- ception. If what he sees surprises him he never mentions it. He comes when there is trouble, to render serv- ice. He knows your weaknesses and your good points and your bad points, as well as your constitution and finan- cial condition" t,.
 He said no physician should hesitate to call In a specialist for consultation, he should not be afraid 10 admit he is puzzled. He also advocated having a member Of the family present at all consultations.
 He asked the Rotarians if they realized how the old fashioned family physician put "seryiee above self" How he worked day and night, drove his old horse in all kinds of weather, fought his grim and silent battle with death under all sorts Of circumstances, without the applause of the crowd. without pay, without sleep and often without even gratitude.
