He says, notes the New Orleans Picayune, that there are educated in this country about twice as many clergymen as lawyers, and about twice as many . i physicians as clergymen, which makes about four physicians to every lawyer, The United States has more physicians to the population than any other conn. try. In 1880 there was a physician to every 600 in England there was one physician to every 1000, in France one to every 2600 and in Germany one to 2800, In certain parts of the United States the doctors were even more plentiful than the ratio for the whole country indi- eated. Ten years ago, nccording to a report of the Illinois Board of Health, there was one doctor to B48 persons, and in smaller places in the State one $0 260. In 1887-8 the entire number of medical students in this country was 18,618 (including dental, pharmacenti- eal and veterinary), and the total is now supposed to be about 20,000, On the basis of this rapid increase, it is safe to say that the circle of the aver physician's patients is closing in on dm every year, and if he is improving ir health steadily, whe outlook for is anything but cheerful, inhabitants, whereas Atlantic | ports is 260 miles, to the gulf ports 270 | If a person ignorant | of the history of our country had wit- | man movem Washington has come to be quite a honeymoon city.
