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 annually medicine.. Four hundred Europe thousand people snmll- ; dying in from the i S^e^f pox, Jeuner nS^may finds that by the Inoculation of 0 '^ "bhe , ministers of the gospel denounced vaccina- Jenner tion, small wits caricatured Edward •as riding in m great procession on the back of a cow and grave men expressed it as j °J j|ni « n th *t all the diseases of the brute creation would bo transplanted into tj ie imman family, and they gave instances ' 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 the s^cula^d'ays'thej^take'a'lmsty Sabbath lunch'at they the restaurant and on the make up for their s x days nbstmenee by especial gormandizing, which, before night, makes their amazed digestive or- ganacry out foi a doctor. And that spoils the evening church service for the phys- '“Then they are annoyed by people coming too late. Men wait until the last fortress of physical strength is taken and death has dug around it be trench of the grave witha become Z footbath has virulent typhus and the hacking cough-killing sink pneumonia. his As though a captain and should then put ashore ship in off Amagansett, then York to. the a yawl, and come to New marine office and want to get his vessel in- sured Too late for the ship, too late for the Tfn^ere doctor because are .any *peoplfc who aiways blame j ; tmg the divine enactment, It is appointed , unto all men once to die.” The father in j had TaT.nwred'T discovered the TarthvTvifch art by which ‘ to re*!!! make ! ; men in this world immortal, himself died at was less thanVff a century for him. Oh! 1 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 needsnot so much consultation with men of .”' v “ « al lr 'F as he nee d 9 consultation with that God who strung f the . , nerves and built the cells and swung the orimson tide through the arteries. 1 ou wonder why the heart throbs, why it seems to open and shut* There is no wonder about it. Tt i Godrfl hand, shutting, opening, shutting, opening, on every heart. When a in an cortws to doctor the eye, ho ought to be in eommunicatiun with Him who said to the blind, “Receive thy sight.” When a dootoi comes to treat a paralytic arm, he ought to be in communication with Him who said, “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.” TO COLLECT RARE SEEDS. Secretary Wilson Will Have the Aid of Diplomats.

BRANDING-IRON FOR FEMALE SEALS, A Device That Will Make Pelagic Sealing Unprofitable. Dr. Jordan, of the Palo Alto University, California, has stated that as the British Government has not come to any satisfac¬ tory terms with the United States for pro¬ tecting the fur se:vls in Baring Soa, the United Btates will begin this summer, through the Fur Seal Commission, the work 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.
