THE FAMILY PHYSICIAN.
* ______
Specialists Will Soon Make Him • Mem
ory of the Paet.
Another thing that must hurt the doo
tors' trade hero is the passing of the fam
ily physician. Specialists abound in Now
York, but family physicians are fast dis
appearing and promise presently to be as
rare as hairy elephants. When you have a
family physician and like him, you call
him in whenever there is anything the
matter, and even if there is not much for
him to do you have the fun of advising
With him and being reassured. But when
you go to one wise man for croup, to an
other for gout, to another for dyspepsia, to
another for headache and to half a dozen
others for ailments too intimate to be set
down it's a different matter. You don’t
go to a specialist until you are sure there
is something the matter. You have to
wait until the symptoms get some develop
ment before you know which specialist to
go to, and often enough, while you are
waiting to find but, the whole disease
peters out and mends itself. In old times
in New York when there were family phy
sicians, when you suspected you were go
ing to bo ill, but were not sure, the family
physician got the benefit of the doubt,
but the specialist does not. Every one who
has had experience knows that that is true.
To call in a familiar friend is one thing;
to call in a distinguished but unfamiliar
gentleman is another. The things that
cause us most anxiety are things that nev
er happen. The illnesses that brought
physicians a large part—perhaps the most
—of their pecuniary reward were illnesses
that didn’t really materialize. The family
physician got tho benefit of the vis medi
catrix naturte. He got there in time to
stand by and see it work. It was his
friend and ally. The specialist benefits by
it in less measure, for he is loss promptly
summoned, and it is liable to finish up the
job before he gets there.
The London Lancet has lately expressed
Its regret at the signs of the waning pres
tige and Influence of the medical profes
sion. That looks us if the embarrassments
that beset physicians in Now York were
operative in London also. There seems to
be some reason to anticipate a time when
New York families will contract with a
syndicate of physicians—comprising a com
plete set of the necessary specialists—for
the supervision of the family health at a
fixed annual price.—Harper’s Weekly.
Old Corts In Pennsylvania.
Pioneers of Pennsylvania who went be
yond the limits of the country when peace
was established by William Penn’s treaties
with the Indians and undertook the cul
tivation of fertile lands in other parts ot
tho state found it necessary to have in
every community some substantial place
of refuge in time ot attack by hostile sav
ages. Wherever there was a settlement of
white mon there was a fort or blockhouse,
usually built of heavy planks and stout
logs, and in most cases Inclosing a spring
and one or more houses.
Over 200 such primitive forts were built
in Pennsylvania prior to tho year 1783.
Some of them, besides furnishing shelter
for the settlers from attack by the Indians,
were used at times by the provincial sol
diers. The names of a few are recorded in
history, but most of them had only local
fame and long ago passed almost com
pletely out of memory. Few traces of any
of them remain, and all means of identi
fying their locations and tho part each
played In tho early history
nia might soon have been lost but for the
thoughtfulness of some member of the leg
islature of 1893, who secured the passage
of an act requiring tho governor to ap
point a commission to make an inquiry
Into the location and history of these forts
and report upon the advisability of mark
ing the site of each with a suitable tablet
or monument.
This commission was appointed by Gov
ernor Pattison and did its laborious work
well. The state was divided into five sec
tions, each of which was assigned to one
member of tho commission, and the com
bined reports of the commissioners are
published in two handsome volumes, en
titled “Frontier Forts of Pennsylvania,”
a valuable addition to the historical ar
chives of the state. Tho descriptions of the
two hundred odd forts aro necessarily brief,
but the main facts in regard to each are
plainly given.
Nothing as yet has been done toward
tho erection of the tablets suggested by the
act of 1893, but in some instances this im
portant work is receiving the attention of
the Society of the Daughters of the Amer
ican Revolution.—Buffalo Commercial.
Children and Slang.
Slang is objectionable, says tho Cincin
nati Commercial Tribune, but if it ever
falls from the lips of children there is an
air of added quaintness that makes it all
but excusable. The children acquire it at
the public schools, and so prevalent is it
that every parent is called upon almost a
half dozen times a day to correct some of
the youngsters for the bad habit uncon
sciously acquired.
A few days ago a mother of an interest
ing family living on Walnut HUls was
berating the woman who originated stylos.
' “I just wish I had her In my hands for
a few minutes and she would be sorry she
was born. ”
“What’d you do to her, mamma?” said
tho firstborn. “Would you soak her in
the eye?”
In the same family two of the boys were
engaged in one of the customary squab
bles that boys are prone to engage in.
The younger as usual got the worst of tho
argument, and in self defense was com
pelled to resort to street slang.
“You needn’t be so smart,” he said.
“You’re not so many. Go count yoursdf.”
