WOMAN IN THE MEDICAL FIELD.
THE PROPRIETY OR IMPROPRIETY-
fomp ohm hail corrietly laid that tv
•ry true reform Is n re'•warily charac
terised by throe dlstipct period*. First,
that of opposition; second. (hat of rid
icule, and, third, that < f victorious
-triumph. Within the taat half cen
tury woman in the medical profession
haa pawed through (he 'Struggle* of
fierce oppoaition and severe ridlcitl*
and ia now in the. dawn of final tri
umph.
In the earlier ages, when the practice
of medicine waa free, and the asstm
tLg of auoh responsibilities left to the
natural tastes of the Individual, wo
man waa a redOglilitcd and qualifies!
factor la this Important fi(,jd, blit
when medical hooka were written, col
leige/t and unlvcraltlea*(’Stabl!fhed and
a higher standard of qualification' re
quired, weraan waa, for a time, almost
an unknown quantity,
“Tlif first I m poire- toward the medi
cal cduratlrm of women in this country
ran have been excited by the erntf
roent Of propriety, frr It appears to
hfl.ve been a reaction aga nst what Mr.
Gregory contemptuously styled niau
mldwifery that led to the formation in
Boston of the society Incorporeal d un
der the name of the Female Medical
Education Society, in order evidently
that the female Obstetrician, demand-'
ed by dellcary, might acquire the edu
cation demanded by science.”
The Invasion of the medical profes
sion by women In Europe was opposed
by the profession from a conviction
of Intellectual incapacity of women,
but In America the mass of the profes
sion did not urge the point, but based
their objection on the tetaly different
contention of impropriety.
“Many good and conscientious per
sons can sec a perfect propriety—nay,
a necessity—for woffi.au doctors in the
evangelization of heathen lands, who
ccn see neith r, rather a manifest Im
propriety in their suggestion for civil
lized countries. To und./.-stand the
need there is for women doctors out of
India let us hear what a clergyman's
wife has to say about It: "What occu
pation more seemly than that of healer
to an afflicted sisterhood? The clevetf
eat (male) doctor cannot understand
I all the sensations of a female set of
I iiirves There ere strings In the In
strument that he cenont learn shout.
| It.' ran bet touch them according to
blind preccdent,and Set him touch them
j i ver so gently the jar. A fellow feel
ling makes us wondrous kind. Have our
| medical faculty any Idea of the num
tor of young girls who become chronic
Invalids or even sink Into early graves
rather than put Ihcmaelves under med
ical advice? Remonstrate with them
and the reply Is: ‘I hsd rather ho torn
In pirces.’ In the name of that shrink
ing delicacy that we ail admire In our
I young girl* and Hint we should guard
| as » > would the white petals of a lily,
f let us give them physicians of thdr
own sex."
Doubtless every woman doctor can
testify to the truth cf this statement:
"A young physician in Edinboro,
busily canvi sing against Dr. Jcx make,
was rather Indignant at the refusal of
on old practitioner to Join In ‘he at
tempt to annihilate her. ''Surely,"
said he, "you would not want a wo
man doctor to attend you.” "No; I
should not. and for that Very reason I
object, to forcing men doctors upon
women.”
' Oh, who is this who casts her rose of
youth .
Beneath the feet of praise, nor fan
, rirth
The lifc of her ladyhood in sooth
Too white to bloom beside the couch
of death?
It is the woman healer, here who
stands
With tender touch upon the cruel
knife:
With thought-engraven brow and skill
ed hands
And yearning heart, to save the
house of life.
Bless her, 0 woman, for it was your
call —
The agonizing cry of your distress
That urged her outward from the clois
ter
To make the burden her misery

fir. Camp, of Campion
Mr. J. Ray Caron, postmaster, station
eg.tit. merchant and practical farmer,
has returned homo after
; spending several days with his niece,
! Mrs. If. V. Johnson, of this city. Mr.
Camp is one of the largest and most
succeasful farmers of Walton count /
and when the J. G. A 8. railroad came
by hla place aud made no provision for
a A'pot or station he built a depot and
donated It to the road and then se
cured a postoftice and named the place
Campion.
When asked the secret of his phe
nomenal success us a farmer he replbd
that he, first of all, lived at home; that
he never bought a pound of meat, a
bushel of corn or anything cl*e he
| could produce on the farm for hla own
j use. On land he could not. cultivate he
| raised colts, cattle snd hogs. Next full
he will bavo several colts about grown,
some rattle awl the product of a cot
iton crop which covers the face of 500
! acres cf land to puL on the miwkat as
| a surging. For fils c«vn uso he will
\ have pork io the smokehouse, sorn In
| the ert'i, and wisent in the granary.
He started poor, aud is now an old
man. and eays that the secret of suc
cessful farming lies in raising every
thing ono needs in the way of food
stuffs at home, and then produce as
much for the market as one has ground
and time to cultivate. —Galuaeville
Eegle.
Hon. C. B. Bush, president of the
Gilmer County (W. V.) Court, says
that he has had three cases of flux to
his family, during the past summer,
which he cured In less than a week
with Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. Mr. Bush also
states that in some instances there
were twenty hemorrehges a day.—
Glcnvllle, W. V., Pathfinder. This rem
edy has been u:-,d In nine epidemics
of flux and one of cholera, with perfect
success. It can always he depended up
on for bowel complaint, even in its
most severe forms. Every family should
keep it at hand. The 25 and 60 cent bot

AN OFFICE DREAM.
Ice in a glass methought I hoard,
Oh, it brought to my soul a breeze!

Foolishly jingling a bunch of keys.
