The Infirmity of Kina Asa Is Made
the Text of art lllmiuent Tribute to the
Medical Profession — Good Hensons
Why All Doctors Should Be Christians.
“And Asa, in the thirty anil ninth year of
his reign, was diseased in his feet until his
disease was exceeding great, yet in his
disease he sought not to the Lord, hut to
the physicians. And Asa slept with his
fathers.”—IL 'Chronicles rvi„ 12,13.
At this season of the year, when medical
■colleges of ail schools of medicine are giv¬
ing diplomas to young doctors, and at the
capital and in many of the cities medical
associations are assembling to consult
about the advancement of the Interests of
’their profession, I feel this discourse Is ap¬
propriate. King
In my text is Asa with the gout.
High living and no exercise have vitiated
his blood, aud oiy text presents him with
his inflamed and bandaged feet on an otto¬
man. In defiance of God, whom ho hated,
he sends for certain conjurors or quacks.
They come and give They him all forts ot lotions
and panaceas. bleed him. They
sweat him. They manipulate him. They
blister him. They poultice him. They
scarify him. They drug him. They cut
him. They kill him. He was only a young
man and had a disease which, though very
painful, seldom ought proves fatal to a young
man, and he to have got well, but he
fell “And a victim Asa to charlatanry thirty and empiricism.
in tile and ninth year of
his reign was diseased in his feet until his
disease was exceeding great, yet in his dis¬
ease he sought not to the Lord, hut to the
physicians. And Asa slept witn his fa¬
thers.” That is, the doctors killed him.
In this sharp and graphic way the llihlc
sets forth the truth, that you have no right
to shut God out from the realm of
■ said: pharmacy and therapeutics. If Asa had
“O Lord, I am sick. Bless the in¬
strumentality Now, employed for my recovery.”
servant, go and get the best doctor
you can find”—he would have recovered.
In other words, the world wants divinely
directed physicians. There are a great
many from such. The diplomas they received
the academies of medicine were
nothing compared witli tlio diploma they
received from the Head Physician of the
universe on the day when they started out
and He said to them, “Go heal the sick and
east out the devils of pain and open the
blind eyes and unstop the deaf ears.” God
bless the doctors all the world over, and let
all the hospitals and dispensaries and in¬
firmaries and asylums and domestic circles
of the earth respond, “Amen.”
Men of the medical profession we often
meet ’in the home of distress. We shake
hands across the table of agonized infancy.
We join each other in an attempt at solace
where the paroxysm of grief demands an
anodyne as well as a prayer. We. look into
each other’s sympathetic faces through the
dusk as the night of death is falling in the
-sickroom. .We do not have to climb over
any barrier to-day in order to greet each
other, for our professions are in full sym¬
pathy. You, doctor, are our first and last
earthly friend. Y'ou stand at the gates of
life when we enter this world and you stand
at the gates of death when we go out of it.
In the closing moments of our earthly exist¬
ence, when the hand of the wife or mother,
or sister or daughter, shall hold our right
hand, it will give strength to our dying mo¬
ments if we can feel the tips of your fingers
along the pulse of the left wrist. We do
not meet to-day, as on other days, in houses
of distress, but by the pleasant altars of
God, and I propose a sermon of helpfulness
and good cheer. As in the nursery children
sometimes re-enact all the scenes of the
sick room, so to-day you play that you are
the patient and that I am the physician, aurj
take my prescription just once. It shall be
a tonic, a sedative, and a dietetic, a disinfect¬
ant, a stimulus an anodyne at the same
time. “Is there not balm in Gilead? Is
there not a physician there?”
In the first place, I think all the medical
profession should become Christians be¬
cause of the debt of gratitude they owe to
God for the honor He has put upon their
calling. No other calling in all the world,
except it be that of the Christian ministry,
has received so great an honor as yours.
■Christ himself was not only preacher, but
physician,surgeon, aurist, ophthalmologist,
and under His mighty power optic and au¬
ditory nerve thrilled with light and sound,,
and catalepsy arose from its fit, and the
clubfoot was straightened, and anchylosis
went out of the stiffened tendons, and the
foaming maniac became placid as a child,
and the streets of Jerusalem became an ex¬
temporized valescent victims . hospital of crowded with invalid¬ con¬
ism. All casualty and
the doctor's ages have woven the garland for
brow. Homer said:
A wise physician, skilled our wounds to
heal,
Is more than armies to the public weal.
Cieero said, “There is nothing in which
men so approach the gods as when they try
to give health to other men.” Charles IX.
made proclamation that all the Protestants
in France should be put to death on St.
Bartholomew's day, but made one excep¬
tion, and that the case of Pare, the father
of French surgery. The battlefields of the
American Devolution welcomed Drs. Mercer
and Warren and Bush. When the French
army was entirely demoralized by fear of
the plague, the leading surgeon of that
army inoculated himself with the plague to
show the soldiers there was no contagion
init, and their courage rose, and they went
on to the conflict. God has honored this
profession all the way through. Oh, the
advancement from the days when Hippo-
crates tried to cure the great Pericles with
hellebore and flaxseed poultices down to
far later centuries when llnller announced
the Circulation theory of respiration, blood, and Harvey the
of the and Asceli the uses
ofthe lymphatic vessels, and Jenner balked
the worst disease that ever scourged Eu-
i crope, and Sydenham developed the re-
;
agues of the world, and Sir Astley Cooper
and and Griseom Abernethy, 'and and Valentine Hosaek Mott, and'Romeyn, of the
; generation just past, honored God and
teogkt baek death with their keen scalpels.
If we who are laymen in medicine would
understand what the medical profession
has accomplished forthe insane, let u,s look
into the dungeons where the poor creatures
used to be iuearcerated—madmen chained
naked to the wall, a kennel of rotten straw
I their only sleeping place, room unven¬
tilated and unlighted, the worst calamity
j' i of punishment—and the race punished, then with come the and very look worst at
; the insane asylums of Utiea aud Kirkbride
—sofaed and pictured, dibraried, concerted,
until all the arts'nud adornments come to

' vl ' ere ’ actually horns had come
o»t the foreheads of innocent persons
and people had begun to chew the cud. But
Dr. .Tenner, the hero of medicine, went on
fighting for vaccination until it has been
estimated that one doctor in fifty years has
saved more Jives than all the battles of any
one century destroyed.
The profession lias done wonders for pub¬
lic hygiene. How often they have stood
between this nation and Asiatic cholera
and the yellow fever. The monuments in
Greenwood and Mount Auburn and Laurel
Hill tell something of the story of those
men who stood face to face with pestilence
in southern cities, until staggering in their
own sickness they stumbled across the
corpses ot those whom thoy had come to
saxe. This profession has been the suc¬
cessful advocate of ventilation, sewerage,
drainage and Immigration, until their
sentiments were well expressed the by English Lord
Palmerston, when he said to
nation at the . time a fast had been pro¬
claimed to keep off a groat pestilence:
“Clean your streets or death will ravage,
notwithstanding all the prayers of this
nation. Clean your streets and then call
on God for help.”
See what this profession has done for hu¬
man longevity. There was such a fearful
subtraction from human life that there was
prospect that within a few centuries this
world would be left almost inhabitantless.
Adam started with a whole eternity of
earthly existence before him, but he cut off
the most of It and only comparatively few
years were left—only 700 years of life, and
then 500, and then 400, and then 200, and
then 100. and then 50, and then the average
ot human life eamo to 40, and then It
dropped to 18. But medieal science came
in, and since the sixteenth century the
average of human life has risen from, 18,
years to 44, and it will continue to rise un¬
til the average of human life will be 50, and
it will be 60, and it will be 70, and a man
will have no right to die before 90, and the
prophecy of Isaiah will be literally fulfilled,
“And the child shall die 100 years old.”
The millennium for the souls of men will
he the millennium for the bodies of men.
Sin done, disease will be done, the clergy¬
man and the physician getting through
with their work at the same time time.
But it seems to me that the most beauti¬
ful benediction of the medical profession
has been dropped upon the poor. No ex¬
cuse now for any one’s not having scientific
attendance. Dispensaries and infirmaries
everywhere, under the control of the best
doctors, some of them poorly starved paid, some of
them not paid at nil. A half woman
comes out from the low tenement house
into the dispensary and unwraps the rags
from her babe, a bundle of ulcers and rheum
and pustules, and over that little sufferer
bends the accumulated wisdom of the ages,
from JEsculapius down to in last week’s
autopsy. In one dispensary one year
150,000 prescriptions were issued. Why do
I show you what God has allowed this pro¬
fession to do? Is it to stir up your vanity?
Oh, no! The day has gone by for pompous
doctors, with Hconspieuous gold-headed
canes and powdered wigs, which were the
accompaniments ber used to in through the days the when streets the bar¬ of
Dr, carry Brockelsby’s wig, to the ad¬
London
miration and awe of the people, saying:
“Make wayl Here comes Dr. Brockelsby’s
wig." No; I announce these things not
only to increase the appreciation, physicians, of laymen but
in regard to hearts the work the of of the medieal to
stir in the of men
profession a feeling of allowed gratitude to God
that they haVe been to put their
hand to such a magnificent work and that
they have been ealled into such illustrious
company. Have you never felt a spirit *>t
gratitude for this opportunity? Do you
not feel thankful now? Then, I am afraid,
doctor, you are not a Christian and that the
old proverb which Christ quoted in “Physi¬ his ser¬
mon may be appropriate to ^-ou,
cian, heal thyself.”
Another reason why I think the medical
profession ought to be Christians is be¬
cause there are so many trials and annoy¬
ances in that profession that need positive
Christian solace. I know you have the
gratitude of a great many good people, and
I know it must be a grand thing to walk in¬
telligently through the avenues of human
life, and with anatomic skill poise yourself
on the nerves and fibers which cross and
recross this skilled wonderful physical system. beauty I
suppose a eye can see more
even in a malformation than an architect
can point out in any of his structures,
though it be the very triumph of arch and
plinth and abacus. But how many annoy¬
ances and trials the medical profession
have! Dr. F.ush used to say in his valedic¬
tory address to the students of the medical
college: “Young gentlemen, have twd pock¬
ets—a small poeket and a big pocket; a
small large poeket pocket in in which which to to put put your fees, a
your annoy¬
ances.”
In the first place the physician and lawyers has no
Sabbath Busy merchants afford be
and mechanics cannot to sick
during the secular week, aud so they nurse
themselves along with lozenges and bore-
hound candy until Sabbath morning comes
and then they say, “I must have a doctor. ’
And that spoils the Sabbath morning church
service for the physician. Besides that
there area great many men who dine but

how easy it is when people die to cry out,
“Malpractice.” Then the physician must
hear with all the whims, aud the sophistries,
and the deceptions, and the stratagems,
and the irritations of the shattered nerves
and the beclouded brains of women, and
more especially with men who never know
how gracefully to be sick, and with their
salivated mouths curse the doctor, giving
him his dues, as they say—about collect. the The only last
dues he will in that case
bill that is paid is the doctor’s bill. It
seems so incoherent for a restored patient,
with ruddy cheeks and rotund form, to be
bothered with a hill charging him for old
calomel and jalap. The physicians work without of this
country do more missionary professionals
charge than all the other put
together. From the concert room, from
the merry party, from the comfortable
ooueh on a cold night, when the thermom¬
eter is five degrees below zero, the doctor
must go right away—he always tlii must go
right away. To keep up under s nervous
strain, to ’go through this night pliysieians work, to
bear all these annoyances, many
have resorted to strong drink and perished.
Others have appealed to God for sympathy
and help and have lived. Which were the
wise doctors, judge ye?
Again, the medical profession ought to
be Christians because there are profes¬
sional exigencies when unblessed they need physicians God.:
Asa’s destruction by
was a warning. There are awful crises in
every medical practice when a doctor ought
to know how to pray. All the hosts of ills
will sometimes hurl themselves on the
weak points of the physical organism, or
with equal ferocity will assault the entire
line of susceptibility to suffering. The
next dose of medicine will decide whether
or not the happy home shall be broken up.
Shall it be this medicine or that medicine?
God help the doctor! Between the five
drops and the ten drops may be be the the ques-
tion of life’or death. Shall it five or
the ten drops? Be careful how you put that
knife through those delicate portions of the
body, for if it swing out of the way the
sixth part of an inch the patient perishes,
Under such circumstances a physician

“Stretch forth thy hand, and'ho stretched
it forth,” When a man comes to doctor
a bad case ot hemorrhage, ho needs to be in
comihunication with Him who cured the
saved* issue M blood, saying, “Thy faith hath
thee.”
Another reason why the medical profes¬
sion ought to be Christians is because there
opens before them such a grand held for
Christian usefulness. You see so many
people in pain, in trouble, in bereavement.
You oaglit to be the voice of heaven to their
souls. Old Dr. Gasherie De Witt, a prac¬
titioner of New York, told me in his last
days, “I always present the religion of
Christ to my patients, either directly or in¬
directly, and I find it almost always accept¬ of
able.” Drs. Abercrombie and Brown,
Scotland. Drs. Hey and Fothergill'of Eng¬
land and- Dr. Rush of our own country
were celebrated for their faithfulness in
that direction. “Oh,” says the medical
profession, “that is your occupation.
That belongs to the clergy, not to us.”
My brother, there are severe illnesses in
which you will not admit even the depend clergy,
and that patient’s salvation will
upon your faithfulness. With the medicine
for the body in one hand, the medicine for
the soul in the other, oh, what a chance.
There lies a dying Christian on the pillow.
You need to hold over him the lantern of
the garspel until its light streams across the
pathway of the departing pilgrim, and you
need to cry into the dull ear of death,
“Hark to the soi^g of heaven’s welcome
that comes stealing over the waters!”
There lies on the pillow a dying sinner.
All the morphine that you brought with
you cannot quiet him. Terror in the face.
Terror in the heart. How he jerks himself
up on one elbow and looks wildly into your
face and says: “Doctor, I can’t die. I am
not ready to die. Wllat makes it so dark?
Doctor, and blessed can you prav?” then Blessed for kneel you
for him if you can
down and say: “0 God, I have done the
best I could to cure this man’s body, and I
have failed. Now I commit to thee his
poor, suffering and affrighted soul. Open
Paradise to his departing spirit.”
But I must close, for there may be suf¬
fering men and women waiting in your
office, or on the hot pillow, wondering
why you don’t come. But before you go,
O doctors, hear my prayer for your eternal
salvation. Blessed will be the reward in
heaven for the faithful Christian physi¬
cian. Some day, through overwork or from
bending over a patient and catching his
contagious breath, the doctor comes home,
and he lies down faint and sick. He is too
weary to feel his own pulse or take the di¬
agnosis of his own complaint. He is worn is
out. The fact is, his work on earth
ended. Tell those people in the office
there they need not waft any longer. The
doctor will never go there again. He has
written his last prescription for the allevia¬
tion of human pain. The p^>ple will run
up his front steps and inquire, “How is the
doctor to-day?” All the sympathies of the
neighborhood will be aroused and there
wiU be many prayers that he who has
been so kind to the sick may be com¬
forted in his last pang. It is alf over now.
In two or three days his convalescent pa¬
tients, with shawl wrapped around them,
will come to the front window and look out
at the passing hearse, and the poor of the
city, barefooted and bareheaded, wiU stand
on the street’ corner, saying, “Oh, how
good he was to us all!” But on the other
side of the river of death some of his old
patients who are forever cured, will come
out to welcome him, and the physician of
heaven, with locks as white as snow, ac¬
cording to the Apocalyptic vision, will
come out and say: “Come in, come in. I
was sick and ye visited me.”

of branding female seals on the Pribylov the
Islands. This will spoil the skins sealing of
branded seals and so stop pelagic
by Dr. making it unprofitable. assis¬
Jordan will take several more
tants from the University to aid in tho
work. '{hey are A. \V. Greeley and E. E.
Snodgrass, of the zoology department; A.
J. Edwards, Howard S. Warren and Elmer
E. Farmer. Farmer has invented au elec¬
trical machine for branding the seals, and
if it proves satisfactory it will do a great
deal toward settling the seal question.
There is a possibility that the female
seals wiU be corralled ou one of the islands
during the sealing season. This will board ne-
cessitate building about'two miles of
fence, and it Is not certain yet whether the
lumber call be procured. It will be done if
possible. Dr. Jordan will leave Seattle for
Sitka on July 8 th.
A CURE FOR LOCKJAW.
Tetanus Anti a Toxln Successfully Tried in
San Francisco.
A treatment of lockjaw, or tetanus, new
to the locality, has just been successfully
tried at the German Hospital, San Fran-
cisco, Cal., under the direction of Dr. Con-
rad Weil. Edmund Shein received an in-
jury to his thumb about a month ago and
lockjaw intervened. Within forty-eight
hours under the new treatment signs of im-
provement began, and at the end of 11 week
the patient was pronounced out of danger.
The treatment consists of injection of a
tetanus 1 anti-toxine similar in its source to
the anti-toxin for diphtheria. The army
surgeons in the WarDepartment laboratory
at Washington have been experimenting
with this treatment for some time.
