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 Jess.’’ . , , , . TTIW AUGUSTA HFRAI.t) 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.
