8. D. Gross, M. D., Professsor of the Prinel
eiples and Practice of Surgery, delivered the
valedictory charge to the graduates. He said :
There is, to my mind, something peculiarly sol
emn in an occasion like this, when teachers, long
ascredited by public - opinion, - bring up - their
pupils to bo dedicated to the service of a great
and noble profession. The minister of God has
invoked upon you and the institution with which
-you have identified your, destiny. Heaven's richest
blessings; Apollo has touched your ears with
the sweetest melody; Flora is ready to regale your
senses with her choicest gifts; aid the fair mai
dens of our city, among the most beautiful and
lovely of fhe land salute you with their smiles
and th eir approving plaudits. If we have not
administered to yon the Hippocratic oath, placed
upon you the. sacerdotal robe, or anointed yon
with consecrated oil, your office is none the less
sacred on account of the omission.
You have reached the first goal of your profes
sional life—the commencement of a new era in
your existence—the morning of' a new birth of
hope and joyous anticipations, gladdening the
heart, and inspiring it with new resolves to per
form, with zeal and alacrity, and honesty of aim
and purpose, the work that is before you. The
cares and trammels of the lecture-room are
at an end; the office of the pupil is
about to be merged into that of
the active practioner ; and henceforth you are to
he your oan guardians, advisers, add instructors;
in a word, the architects of your own fame and
fortune. •The new sphere upon which you are
about to enter offers you every incentive for ex
ertion. To relieve :pain and suffering, to pour
the balm of hope and consolation into the
wounds of the afflicted, to open the eyes of the
blind, to restore the hearing of the deaf, to make
the dumb speak and the lame walk, to battle suc
cessfully with death, and to smooth the pillow
of the dying when all prospect of succor is at
an end, is a noble, a God-like occupation, worthy
of the most exalted aspirations of the human
mind.
Fidelity to your profession is your first and
most important duty. To be faithful to your
trust is to be faithful to yourselves. Honor your
profeesion and your profession will honor you.
Exult in its divine origin, in its ancestral charac
ter, in its dignity and grandeur, in its power of
doing good. Eschewing everything that is for
eign to it, or that is calculated to impair its dig
nity and usefulness, keep within the strict limits
of its requirements, as the only legitimate pm
fession, in the direct line of descent from Hippo
crates, who is as much the common father of us
all as Christ is the acknowledged Head of the
350,000,000 of human beings who daily
worship at the altar, of the only 'true
and living God. The profession which you have
this day entered, and to whose service you have
been thus formally dedicated, has ennobled itself
by vast monuments of learning, sciencentid be
nevolence and has placed the world udder undy
ing obliga tions by scrupulously preserving and
perpetuating a pure medicine, based upon pa
tient observation, enlarged clinical experience,
and careful induction,
and reaching far back into
the mysterious depths of past centuries.
Mankind know little of • the vast knowledge
that is required by the physician to run success
fully this machine of ours when disordered by
injury or disease. They imagine that it is as easy
as to make a chair, to mow a field, or to guide a
locomotive along a railway track. They lose
eight of the fact that the human body is a living
machine, composed of numerous organs and
tissues, each invested with important functions,
and all united by the closest and the most intimate
fellow-feeling. To understand each a machine,
I repeat It, requires brains, and to steer It suc
cessfully, 'when out of repair, knowledge and
wisdom of the highest order.
Notwithstanding this, however, the world is
so constituted that the success of a young physi
cian often depends more upon fortuitous circum
stances than upon his real merit, or the amount
and excellence of his medical attainments. A
good address, an agreeablevoice' a genial smile,
a cordial shake of the hand, go far in securing
the confidence of the sick room,• and many ta
• --young man; withlittle-Balm - to4seienee, to learn,
IDS, or to intellect, has made his reputation out
of these posseselons.

Much .
Mu has been said and 'written regarding self
made men. All men that are really good tor any
' thing are essentially self-made. Some may be
more fortunate than others in regard to the ad
-vantages of birth, wealth, or early education;
but, alter all, everything depends upon a man's
own personal exertion; upon the manner in which
he employs his time and talents, not upon luck,
or adrentitions circumstances. God helps him
most who helps himself is a trite but true saying,
whith ought to be written in lends of iron upon
every'one's forehead mho wishes to rise above the
common herd of inankitid. and gain an mper
ishable name. * * * * • a
There is an idea current among young men
that vast opportunities are necessary for build
ing up a great and permanent reputation. Noth
ing is more untrue. The disceveries Stf Franklin
were Made with Wary any apparatus. The Anse
experiments of • Sir Humphrey Davy were per
formed, while lie was an apothecary's apprentice,
with instruments of the rudest deecrlption. The
pots and pans of the kitchen, says Smiles, in his
delightful little volume, styled "Self-Help," and
the phials and vessels of his master's surgery,
wore remorselesaly put in, requisition. Scheele
discovered several new gases while at work in an
obscure Swedish village, with no more effective
apparatus. Every student of chemistry is familiar
with tho name of Wollaston. One might suppose
that he certainly would have had a greatiab oratory
filled with every variety of contrivance for carry
ing on elaborate researches, and yet one day,
when an eminent foreign savant Called upon him,
and requested to be shown into his workshop, the
place of so many transcendent discoveries, the
English philosopher took him into a little study,
and, pointing to an old tea-tray upon the table,
containing a few watch-glasses, test•papers, a
small balance, and a blowpipe, said, "There is all
the laboratory that I have;" a remark reminding
one forcibly of Cornelia, as she exclaimed, point
ing to her sons, "These are my jewels." Frank
lin, observes the same writer from
whom I have already borrowed several of
these illustrations, robbed the thunder-cloud
of its lightning with a kite made with two cross
sticks and a Bilk handkerchief; Benjamin West
made his first brush of a cat's tail; and Watt
formed the first model of the condensing steam
engine out of an old anatomical syringe, used to
inject the arteries previous to dissection. Scarpa
composed his immortal works upon surgery from
the material found in a hospital at Pavia, con
taining only twenty-four beds. The little town
of Gloucester supplied the first vaccine scabs
which, in the hands of Jenner and his followers,
have been instrumental in saving Mil
lions of human lives. Everybody is ac
quainted with the "Natural History of
itielborne," one of the English classics, written by
the Rev. Gilbert White during his residence at
that interesting little village, rendered famous by
his labors. The name of Dr. William Darling
ton, of West Chester, Pennsylvania, is indissolu
bly associated with the history of American
botany. His "Flora Cestrica," originally pub
lished in 1837, and afterwards Irma enlarged,
comprises a complete description and classififia
tion of every plant known to exist in the sur
rounding county. *
One might suppose, from the rapid progress
of our profession during the'last third of a cen
tury—s period prolific in discovery and improve
ment beyond that of any other in the world's
history—that little, if anything, remained to be
done. Alas! I wish it were so ; but, unfortu
nately, the very reverse is true. We have hardly
yet even completed the foundation of
the great temple of medical science. The
whole superstructure is unfinished; the four
walls must be erected, the roof• put on, and the
inside adorned and beautified, before we can rest
from our labors. Pulmonary consumption,
cancer, cholera, diphtheria, croup, scarlatina,
dysentery, and typhoid fever, not to mention
other diseases, are. as unmanageable, as incura
ble, as when they first issued from Pandora's
box. The causes of periodical, infections, and
contagious maladies are still wrapt in impenetra
ble mystery. The subject of hygiene alone
affords an illimitable field of study.
The whole materia medics requires to
be re-examined, and purged of its
impurities. The powers of nature in the cure of
disease must be tested upon a larger scale, and
our therapeutic knowledge must be placed upon
loftier and more tangible grounds. With the ex
ception of descriptive and surgical anatomy,
there is not a branch of the healing art that does
not hold out the strongest inducements for slew
inquiries and new researches. There aro conti
nents in medicine, unexplored and even undis
covered, as rich as any that are now so success
fully cultivated. Is there no work here, no labor
for the medical practitioner of the present day?
If you have any doubt in regard to. imperfec
tions of the healing art and the work • that re
mains to be done, examine the mortuary tables
of this and other _countries. The subjoined re
ferences, showing death's doings in our own
midst daring the last year, are sufficiently
startling. In 1867, 12,660 persona died is this
city, upwards of one-half of whom were children
under six ,years of age. — The month of August
- -
alone exhibits a mortality among these innocents
of 1,023, probably mostly caused by cholera, so
rife at that hot season. The deaths from pulmo
nary consumption were 1,947. In Boston, during
the same period, nearly one-third of the deaths of
adults were from phthisls. The entire mortality
in that city, so distinguished for its medical skill,
was 4.379, embracing nearly 1,700 children under
five years of age. It may safely bo assumed that
fully one-fourth of all the deaths of adults •
throughout the civilized world are caused by con
sumption and cancer, both, in the existing state
of the science, utterly incurable by any means
yet devised, In Chicago the deaths from cholera
infant= in 1867 were 542, an appalling mortal-
WY for a city of that size.
Moreover, the scientific physician does not con
fine his attention solely to the cure of dis
ease ; on the contrary, he strives to make
himself acquainted with its causes and methods
of prevention. The subject of hygiene has been
a prolific source of Wonky for centuries, and
must continue to excite a deep interest among
medical men, as well as mankind at large,so long '
us we are ignorant of the nature and treatment cm
epidemics, which often sweep. like so many hur
ricanes over a country, carrying havoc and
desolation into the hearts of the people of the
fairest portions of the earth. Who would not
wish to stay "the pestilence that walketh in dark
neBß" or the "destruction that wasted' at noon
day?" and who will say that prevention, in such
a case, is not better than cure? * * *
The sorrows of the sick-room arc often mate
rially lightened by the agreeable manners of the
medical attendant. The very sight of such a man
is a ' cordial to the soul, tending to dispel the
gloomy cares and unpleasant forebodings. A
genial smile, a kind word, a gentle pressure of
she hand, a timely anecdote, are often much
more effective remedies than quinine and opium,
nay, even than milk-punch and beef-essecce, so
lashionable at the present day in the treatment of
disease and injury.
You need not be' told that, while you are ex
pected to be men of science, and refined, culti
vated, high• toned gentlemen, you are also to be
earnest working physicians, watching and caring ,
tor the sick, standing guard at every avenue
where disease may enter and do mischief. The
, uterests of your patients will be paramount to
very other duty; nothing must be left to chance;
nothing must be regarded as too trivial or ineig
eificant when life hi trembling in the balance, or
uspended, as it were by the merest thread, liable
lo be severed by the slightest mishap.
Your mission is one of humanity, calculated
,o awaken the Warmest sympathy, Mune mar
mite, active exercise the most tender emotions of
the E.Olll. I do no violence to my convictions
when I declare that physicians are the most hu
mane and benevolent men in the world, and that
they perform more charitable acts than any othef
class of eitisens, whatever may be their calling.
To feed the hungry, and to clothe the naked, is
one thing. to attend, during a long lifetime, the
sick, the thing,
the halt, and ate dying,. without
pecuniary reward—when that reward might, per
haps, be badly needed for the support of 'a
helpless family—is another, and, in my opinion ,
a far greater thing. * *
One more topic remains to be mentioned before
I conclude this address; a topic which every
,)oung physician, hopeful of' success, and deter
mined to win it, should well consider. I allude
LO matrimony. Celibacy is commonly regarded
as an obstacle to rapid professional success. It
is not necessary to stop to inquire whether this
opiniiin is correct or not; for, practically, this is
of no eolleequence. if it be. as I believe it is,
general. Marriage unquestionably inspires confi
dence in a physician's character, and opens the
door more readily and widely to the secrets of the
sick-room. Moreover, it assists in forming cor
rect habits, and acts as au incentive to study and
industry. I therefore most earnestly recommend
it-to your consideration. There is no dearth of
material; nor is there, so far as my experience
enables. me to judge, much repugnance to matri
ninny. Many a lair daughter would rather emi
grate to Colorado, Nebraska, or New, Mexico, as
the wile of a young, live physlclan,than remain
et home with her parents with a doubtful pros
pect of ultimately bettering her condition.
The address concluded as follows:
"In bidding you farewell, as I now do, in be
half of ray colleagues and myself, let us hope that
you will ever cherish pleasant recollections of the
many happy days which you have spent in the
balls of your Alma Mater, which now sends you
forth crowned with all the honors which it is in
her power to bestow. Accept our warmest wishes
for your welfare and prosperity, and let It be the
great aim and object of your lives to obtain, not
only the confidence of the public, but the respect

All proper food and fruit new life instil,
All medicines create a greater ill;
All nature fights, right reason damns the foe,

ONCE there was a very large tree in the State of
California and a man went to the woods to cut it down.
Be had been chapping about ten days when he thought
he would take a walk about the tree, just to see how
mach he bad cut; what was his surprise, when he got
on the other side, to dud another man cutting on the
same tree. "1 say." said the Californian, "how long
have you been cutting?" "Just three weeks," said the
stranger. The tree was so big around that they had
not beard the sound of each other's axes! Instead of
wood our people all burn that excellent coal sold at

the trouble is entirely obviated. A host of certificates
