Of wtel t»o •a chemUtrr when afehainy 9* l«J general favorf A dtatinguhjwa -nedfaal writer add yea» ago that tho only way to eradicate quackery pernjaneutly waa founded on theehrewdneeiof Itaprofee- •ors, but the ignoranoe of Itt rictims. Yet it ie eurpriring hownHWh oflhM old time ignoranoe which mndo witch- late. Dr. Ebrdyeo Barker, whllo at tending Ur.' Conkltag, waa oo annoyed by worthy people who wanted him to try eome rldlculou* nostrum on hla distinguished patient They were of exactly the some class as that very ro spectublo gentleman who carries about a small potato or an onion in his pocket to ward off rheumatism. He does not be lieve in signs, nor omens, nor isms; but • how does ho differ from the poor darky who carries about a rabbit foot in his racket to shield him from the evil eyef He smiles depret^tingly, but carries the potato and assures you confidentially that, however it may be. in his particu lar case it worked wonders. Tho miserable wretch who killed an inof fensive Chinaman tho other day “for fun," was more anxious to keep an amu let he had in bis pocket than his liberty, and ho reasoned about as well as the man who carries a potato In his pocket, but not a particle of tho knowledge of __ the laws of life and health in his bead. The publio discussion of the ntUictions of Garfield, Grant, Conkling and Kaiser Frederick have done much good by un covering a vast amount of popular ignor ance even where it was not suspected. It showed that many who were ready to corei all diseases in the body politic did not know the first symptom of disease in their own bodies. Men with their fingers always on the public pulse did not know where to feel for their own pulse. Men conversant with n.l mner history know absolutely nothing of tin. history of medi cine. Men able to trace the cause of political convulsions never were able to account for that first stroke of paralysis. Such men were sure they could have ewed Mr. Conkling’s disease by the steam of a hot potato. They know that Garfield could have been saved if they had been given chargo of him in time, though the post mortem proved that his wound' was fatal from the first. The number of infallible reme’dies soul to Gen. Grunt was log mi Half of the old women in Germany are seriously grieved because they aro not allowed to 6avo tho kaiser from his doctors by a remedy that camo down to them from their great grandmothers. , All of this proves that so far as medi cine is concerned we are in the middle cuzes yet. . No lDrooer- nrovision is made in schools for tho prevention of quackery, as begins to bo made for the prevention of intemperance by teaching tho effects of alcohol. Many a graduate is not er ectly clear as to which side his heart is on, or what it is there for. When it comes to tho spleen? the colon, the nerves, he better understands tho geography of interior Africa. Tho science of medicine advances un der difficulties, the greatest of which is popular ignorance. When wo learn to know how little wo know then wo will commence to advance. Then fairly edu cated men will not commenco to prescribe for a friend and suggest doubts ns to his physician beforo knowing anything moro of the disease than of tho doctor. No greater boon could be bestowed on the coming doctor than a generation thor oughly educated in physiology, anatomy and hygiene. We will never bo rid of 'quacks and quackeuY until we stop breed ing the ono and encouraging the other, by turning over the whole subject of dis ease, ns of old, to a special class, whether sorcerers or doctors.—Chicago Times. Whjr Orators Aro Few. Tho ago Ini which we livo is progres sive and aggressive, but it will not pro duce such orators and preachers ns there were forty and fifty years ago. It pro duces better doctors, and teachers, and fanners, and merchants, and mechanics, but not such statesmen or pulpit orators. Kentucky has no longer a Clay, and Breckinridge, and Marshall. Tennessee bas no Gentry, dr Maynard, or Johnson, or Haskell. Mississippi no Foote or Prentiss. Alabama no Yancey. Georgia no Toombs, or Hill, or Stephens, or Johnston, or Cobb. South Carolina no Calhoun, or Clioves, or Hayno, or Rut ledge. North Carolina no Macon, or Mangum. or Badger. Virginia no Jef ferson, or Patrick Henry, or Madison. I know that the mosses of tho people have advanced, and therefore there is not snch a contrast between them and tho great men as there used to bo, but it is still certain that the most notablo men of the day will not compare with those I have mentioned. We have some great preachers, but none .to compare with Capers, and Styles, and Pearce, and Baa- comb, and tho blind preacher. Waddell, whom William Wirt made famous. This is a utilitarian age, and everybody is in a hurry. There was a time when men of brains had leisure, and Solomon says that in leisure there is wisdom.—Bill Arp in Atlanta Constitution.
