A GOSPEL MESSAGE.
The Inflrmlry of Kins; Asa Is Made
the Text or aa Kloquent Tribute to the
Medical Proleasloa Good Reasons
Why All Doctors Should Be Christians.
"And Asa, In the thirty and ninth year of
his relRn, was diseased In his foot until his
disease was exceeding great, yet In his
disease he sought not to the Lord, but to
the physicians. And Asa slept with his
fathers." II. Chronleles xvi., 12, 13.
At this season of the year, when meUieol
colleges of all schools of medicine are giv
ing diplomas to young doctors, and at the
capital nnd in many or the cities medical
associations are assembling to consult
about the advancement of the interests of
their profession, I feel this discourse is an
propriate. Iu my text is King Asa with the gout,
nigh living and no exercise have vitiated
his blood, nnd my text presents him with
his inflamed and bandngod feet on an otto
man. In dellnnoe of (iod, whom he hated,
he sends for certain conjurors or quacks
They come and give him all sorts of lotions
nnd panaceas. They bleed him. They
sweat him. They manipulate him. They
Mister him. They poultice him. They
scarify him. They drug htm. They out
him. They kill him. He was only a young
man nnd hnd n disease whleh, though very
painful, seldom proves fatal to a yoong
man, nnd he ought to hnvo got well, but he
fell a victim to charlatanry and empiricism.
"And Ann in the thirty and ninth vwnr of
his reign was disensed in his feet aiitll his
disease was exceeding great, vet In his dis
ease he sought not to the Lord, but to the
physicians. And Asa slept witn his fa
thers." That Is, the doctors killed him.
In this sharp and graphic wnv the lllldn
sets forth the truth, that you have no right
to shut (iod out from the realm ()f
pharmacy and therapeutics. If Asa had
said: "O Lord. I am sick. Iilcss tho in
strumentality employed for my recovery."
Now, servant, go aii.l get the best doctor
you can llnd" he would have recovered.
In other words, the world wants divimdv
directed physicians. There are a great
many such. The diplomas they received
from the academics of medicine were
nothing compared with the diploma thev
received from the Head Physician of the
universe on the day when they started out
and He said to them, "(io heal the sick ami
east out tho devils of pain nnd open the
blind eyes and unstop the deaf ears." (iod
bless the doctors all the world over, nnd let
all the hospitals ami dlspensnries nnd in
llrmnries and asylums and domestic circles
of the earth respond. "Amen."
Men o the medical profession wo often
meet ill tin home of distress. Wo Hhnkn
hands across the table of agonized Infancy.
We Join each other in an attempt at solace
where tho paroxysm of grief demands an
anodyne as well ns a praver. We look Into
each other's sympathetic faces through the
dusk as the night of death is falling in the
sickroom. Wo do not have to elimli over
any barrier to-day in order to greet each
other, for our professions are in full sym
pathy. You. doctor, are our llrst and last
earthly friend. You stand at the gates of
life when wo enter this world ami you stand
at the gates of dentil when we go out of It.
In the closing moments nf oureartlily exist
ence, when the hand of the wife or mother,
or sister or daughter, shall hold our right
hand, It will give strength toour dying mo.
meats If we can feel tho tips of yon'r lingers
along the pulse of the left wrist. We do
not meet to-day, as on other days. In houses
of distress, but by the pieasiiiit altars of
(lod, and I propose a sermon of helpfulness
and good cheer. As in the uurserv children
sometimes ro-ennct all the s i"es of the
sick room, so to-day you plav that you are
the patient and that I am the 'physician, and
take my prescription just once. It shall lie
atonic, a sedative, a dietetic, a disinfect
ant, a stimulus and an anodyne nt tho same
time. "Is there not balm iu Oilead? Is
there not a phvsic lun there?"
In the llrst place, I think all the medical
profession should In nie Christians be-
cause of the debt of gratitude they own to
lod for the honor lie has put upon their
calling. Xo 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
pliy.sicinii.surgeoii.niirist, ophthalmologist,
and under Ills mighty power optic and au
ditors' nervu thrilled with hvi,t i
and catalepsy arose from its lit. and tin!
clubfoot was strniirhtetied II till is tutli t, wii.t
went out of the stiffened tendons, and the
miuuiug maniac i ame placid as a child,
nnd the streets of Jerusalem lieeame an ex
teinporteed hospital crowded with con
valescent victims of casualty and Invalid
ism. All nges have woven the garland for
the doctor's brow. Homer said:
A wise physician, skilled our wounds to
Ill'tll,
Is more than armies to the nubile weal.
Cicero said. "There Is nothing in which
iiu-ii su apiroacii inegods as when they In
to llvn llelllth In ,,t ,..,. ...,. ' l...-i... iv
" "' . tn.-i. , lull
made proclamation that nil tho Protestants
in xiitiuu siioniu i. put to dentil oust,
liartholomew s day, but made one oxcep.
tlon, and that tho case of Pan-, the father
of French surgery. The battletlelds of the
American if -volution welcomed Drs. Mercer
and Warren nnd Hush. When the l'reneh
army was entirely demoralized by four of
the plague, the leading surgeon" of that
army Inoculated himself with the plagueto
show the soldiers there, was no contagion
in it, nnd their courage rose, and they went
on to the conflict, clod has honore'd this
profession nil the wnv through. Oh, the
advancement from tho davs when Hippo
crates tried to euro the great Pericles with
hellebore and flaxseed poultices down to
far Inter centuries when Haller announced
the theory of respiration, and Harvey the
circulation of the blood, nnd Asceli t lie uses
of tho lymphatic vessels, and Jen tier balked
the worst disease that ever scourged Ku
rope, nnd Hydenham developed the re
cuperative forces of the physical organism,
and cinchona bark stopped the shivering
agues of the world, nnd Sir Astlev Cooper
and Abeniethy, and Hosack aad'lto:iievn,
and tiriseom and Valentine .Mott, of the
generation just past, honored (iod and
fought back death with their keen scalpels.
If wo who are laymen in medicine would
understand what the medical profession
has accomplished for tho insane, let us look
Into the dungeons where the poor creatures
used to be Incarcerated madmeu chained
naked to the wall, a kennel of rotten straw
their only sleeping place, room iiavca
tllated nud unlighted, the worst enliimlty
of the race punished with the very worst
punishment and then eomo nnd 'look at
the Insane nsylums of irtlca nnd Kirkbrlde
sofaed nnd pictured, llbrnrled, concerted,
until all the arts and adornments come to
coax recreunt reason to assume her throne.
Look at Edward Jenner, the great hereof
medicine. Four hundred thousand people
annually dying in Europe from tho small
pox, Jenner II mis that by the inoculation of
people with vaccine from a cow the great
scourge of nations may be arrested. The
ministers of the gospel denounced vneoinn
tlon, small wits caricatured Edward Jenner
as riding In a great procession on the bnck
of a eow .'.ml grave men expressed it as
their opinion that all tho diseases nf the
brute creation would be transplanted into
tha human family, and they gave instances
where, they said, actually horns hnd come
out on the foreheads of innocent persons
and people bad begun to chew the cud. Hut
Dr. Jenner, the hero of medicine, went on
fighting for vaccination until it has been
estimated thnt ono doctor iu llfty years has
saved more lives than ail the battles f uuy
one century destroyed.
The profession hus done wonders for pub
lic hygiene. How often they have stood
between this nation and Asiatic cholera
and the yellow fever. The monuments In
(Ireenwood and Mount Auburn and Laurel
Hill tell something of the story of those
uidu wuu sioou laca cu ioco witu punmoiMiw
la southern cities, until staggering la their ,
own sickness they stumbled across the
eorpses of those whom they had come to
save. This profession has been the suc
cessful advocate of ventilation, sewerage,
drainage and Immigration, uutil their
sentiments were well expressed bv Lord
Palmerston. when he said to the English
nation at the time a fast had been pro
claimed to keep off a great 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."
Bee what this profession has done for hu
man longevity. There was such a fearful
subtraction from human lite that there was
prospect that within a few centuries this
world would be left almost Inhahitnntless.
Adam started with a whole eternity of
earthly existence before him, but he cut off
the most of it and only comparatively tew
years were left only 700 years of lifo. and
then 500, nnd then 400, and then 200, anO.
then 100. and then SO, and then the average
of human lite came to. 40, and then it
dropped to IS. But medical seieneeame
in, and since the sixteenth century the
average of human lifo has risen from 18
years to 44, and It will continue to r'se un
til the average of human lifo will be 50, and
it will be 60, and it will bo 70, nnd a man
will have no right to die before 90, and the
prophesy 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.
Bin done, disease will be done, the clergy
man and the physician getting through
with their work at the same time time.
Hut It seems to me thut the most benutl
ful benediction of the medical profession
has been dropped upon tho poor. No ex
cuse now for nny one's not having scientilln
attendance. Dispensaries nnd Inllrmnrles
everywhere, nnder the control of the best
doctors, some of them poorly pnld, some of
them not pnidnt all. A half starved woman
comes out from the low tenement house
Into the dispensary and unwraps the rags
from herbnlie, n bundle of ulcers and rheum
nud pustules, and over thnt little sufferer
bends the accumulated wisdom of the ages,
from JEseulaplus down to Inst week's
autopsy. In one dispensary In one year
150.000 prescriptions were Issued. Why do
I show you what (iod has allowed this 'pro.
fession to do? Is It to stir up your vanity?
Oil, not The day has gone by for pompous
doctors, with I conspicuous gold-heiuled
canes and powdered wigs, which were the
accompaniments in tho dnvs when the bar
ber used to carry through the streets of
London Dr. Ilroc kclsby's wig, to the ad
miration and awe of the people, saying:
"Make way! Here conic Dr. llrockelsliy's
wig." No; I announce these things not
only to Increase the appreciation of lavinen
In regard to the work of physicians, lint to
stir Iu the hearts of the men'of the medical
profession n feeling of gratitude to (tod
that they have been allowed to put their
hand to such a magnificent work ami that
they have been called into such illustrious
company. Have you never felt a spirit of
gratitude, for this opportunity? Do von
not feel thankful now? Thn,'l am afriiid,
doctor, you are not a Christian and that the
old proverb which Christ quoted in his ser
mon may be appropriate to you, "Physi
cian, heal thyself."
Another reason why I think the medl-al
profession ought to be Christians Is be
cause tliere are so many trials nud 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 graii.l thing to walk in
telligently through the avenues of li it in mi
lite, and witli anatomic skill poise yoiirslf
on the nerves and libers which cross and
recross this wonderful physical system. 1
suppose n skilled eye can see more bcautv
even in n malformation than an architect
can point out in any of bis structures,
though it be the very triumph of arch and
plinth and abacus. Hut how many annoy,
luiees and trials the medical profession
have! Dr. Hush used to say In Ills valedic
tory address to the students of the medical
college: "Young gentlemen, have two pockets-a
small pocket and a big pocket; a
small pocket in which to put voiir fees, a
large pocket In which to put your iwnoy
nnees." In the llrst place tho physician has no
Snhhath. busy merchants and lawyers
and mechanics cannot afford to be 'sick
during the secular week, ami so they nurse
themselves along with lozenges mid bore
hound candy until Sabbath morning comes,
and then they say, "1 must have a doctor."
And Unit spoilsthe Sabbath morniiigchiirch
service for the physician. Ilesldes that,
there area grant ninny men who dine Inn
onco n week with their families. During
the secular days they take a hasty lunch nt
the rustaunint, and on the Sabbath they
make up for their six days' abstinence by
especial gormandizing", which, before
night, tnnkes their amazed digestive or
gans cry out for n doctor. And that spoils
the evening church service for tho phys
ician. Then they are annoyed by people coining
too Into. Men wait until the Inst fortress
of physical strength Is taken anil death
has dug around It the trench of the grave.,
and then they run for tho doctor. Tin
slight fever which might nave been cured
with a foot lint h has become virulent typhus,
nnd the hacking cough-killiiig pneumonia.
As though a captain should sink his ship
off Amagnnsett, and theft put ashore Iu u
yawl, nnd then come to New- York to the
marine ofllce urn! want to get his vessel In
sured. Too late for the ship, too Into for
the patient.
Then there nrn many who always blame
tile doctor because the people die, forget
ting the divine enactment, "It Is appointed
unto nil men once to dl." The father In
medicine who announced the fact that he,
had discovered the art by which to make
men in this world immortal, himself died nt
47 years of age, showing that Immortality
was less man nan a century for liini. on,
how easy it is when peoplo die to cry out.
"Malpractice." Then the physician must
bear with all the whims, and the sophistries,
and the deceptions, nnd the stratagems,
and tho irritations of the shattered nervss
and the beclouded brains of women, and
more especially with men who never know
how gracefully to bo sick, nnd with their
salivated mouths curse the doctor, giving
him Ills dues, as tlicy say nliout the only
dues ho will In that cose collect. Tho lust
bill that Is paid is the doctors bill. It
seems so Incoherent for a restored patient.
wiin runny ciieeKs ami roiiimi rural, to hn
bothered with a bill charging him for old
calomel nnd jalap. The physicians of this
country do more missionary work without
charge than all the other professionals put
together. From the concert room, from
the merry party, from the comfortable
couch on a cold night, wheu the thermom
eter is live degrees below Hero, the doctor
must go right away he always must go
right away. Tn keep up under this nervous
strain, to go through this night work, to
bear all thenn annoyances, many physicians
have resorted tostrongdrink nnd perished.
Others have appealed to Uod for sympathy
and help and hnvo lived. Which were tho
wise doctors, judge ye?
Again, the medical profession oucht to
be Christians because there are profes
sional exigencies when they need (lod.
Asa's destruction by unblessed physicians
was a warning. There are awful crises tn
every medical practice when n 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
lino of susceptibility to suffering. The
next dose of medicine will decide whether
or not tho happy home shall he broken ur.
Khali It be tills medicine or that medicine?
(iod help the noctorl liotween the five
drops and the ten drops may be the ques
tion of life or death. Hhitll It be the live or
the ten drops? 11a careful how you put thnt
mine) inrougn mose iiencaio portions of the
body, for if It swing out or the wnv tha
sixth part of an inch tha patient perishes.
Under sucn circumstances a physician
needs not so much consultation with men
of his own culling as he needs consultation
with that (iod who strung -the nerves and
built the cells and swung the crimson tide
through the arteries, lou wonder why the
heart throbs, why It seoais to opea tad
shut. There Is no wonder about ft. It I
God's hand, shutting, owning, shutting,
opening, on every heart. When a man
comes to doctor the eye, he ought to be in
communication with Him who said to tha
blind, "Receive thy Bight."1 When a doctor
comes to treat a paralytic arm. he ought to
be in communication with Him who said,
"Stretch forth thy hand, and he stretched
It forth." When a man comes to doctor
a bad case of hemorrhage, he needs to be In
communication with Him who cured the
Issue of blood, saying, "Thy faith hath
saved thee."
Another reason why tho medical profes
sion ought to be Christians is because there
ooens before them such a grand Held for
Christian usefulness. Tou see so many
people In pain, in trouble, in bereavement.
You ought to be the voice of heaven to their
(Touls. Old Dr. Gashcrie Do 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, nnd I And it almost always accept
able." Drs. Abercromble nnd llrown, of
Scotland. Drs. Hey and Fotherglll of Eng
land and Dr. Hush of our own country
were celebrated for their faithfulness lis
that direction. "Oh." snys the medical
profession, "thnt is your occupation.
Thnt belongs to tho clergy, not to us."
My brother, there are severe illnesses In
which you will not admit even the clergy,
and that patient's salvation will depend
upon your faithfulness. With the medicine
for the body in one hund, the medicine for
the soul in the other, oh. wlutt n chance.
There lies a dying Christian on the pillow.
You need to hold over him the lantern of
the gospel until its light streams across tho
pathway of the departing pilgrim, and you
need to cry Into the dull ear of death,
"Hark to the song of heaven's welcome
thnt comes stealing over the waters!"
There lies on the pillow a dying sinner.
All tho morphine that you brought witli
you cannot quiet him. Terror In the face.
Terror In the heart. How he jerks himself
up on one elbow ami looks wildly into your
face nnd snys: "Doctor, I can't die. I am
not ready to die. What makes It so dark?
Doctor, can you prav?" Illesscd for you
and blessed for him If then you can kneel
down mid say: "O (iod, I have done the
best I could to cure this man's body, mid I
have failed. Now I commit to thee his
poor, suffering nnd nffrightod soul. Open
l'nradlse to his departing spirit."
Hut I must close, for there may be suf
fering men mid women waiting in your
ofllce, or on the hot pillow, wondering
why you don't come. Hut before you go,
O doctors, hear my praver for your eternal
salvation Illesscd will be the reward In
heaven for the faithful Christian physi
cian. Someday, through overwork or from
bending over a patient and cat -hing his
contagious breath, the doctor conies home,
and he lies down faint and sick. He is too
weary to feel his own pulse or take the di
agnosis nf his own complaint. He Is worn
out. The fact is, his work on earth is
ended. Tell those people in the office
therethev need not wait nny longer. The
doctor will never go there again. Ho has
written his last prescription for the allevia
tion of human pain. The people will run
up his front steps and Inquire, "How is the
doctor to-dav?" All tho sympathies of tho
neighborhood will be aroused and there
will be iiianv prayers that he who has
been so kind to tint sick may bo com
forted in his last pang. It Is all over now.
In two or three days his convalescent pa
tients, witli shawl wrapped around them,
will come to t he front window and look out
at the pas-lug hearse, and the r of the
city, barefooted ami bareheaded, will stand
on the street corner. Having, "Oh, how
good Ini was to us all!" jjut on the other
side of the river of death mnne of his old
patients who are forever cured, will come
out to welcome him, mid the physician of
heaven, with locks us white as snow, ac
cording to tho Apocalyptic vision, will
come out and say: "Come In, coup) iu. 1
was sick and yo visited me."
TO COLLECT RARE
SEEDS.
Secretary Wilson Will Have
the Aid of
Diplomats.
The benellts that may inure to this coun
try through expert investigation of agri
cultural conditions abroad, form a subject
that is receiving the special attention of
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson. Ho con
templated for some time the development
of this means of securing information, and
in furthering the Idea ho has adopted a
poll 'y of utilizing the services of experts
who are abroad and of enlisting the help nf
Government appointees scat to foreign
posts.
Colonel A. E. Iiuck, the new Minister to
Japan, will forward seeds of llguues. bulbs,
etc., with explanatory notes, while Sir. Pat
terson, Consul to Calcutta, will report on
agricultural products in tho far southern
latitudes.
Professor Plumb, of Perdue, I ml.. Is going
abroad this summer mid as a side Issue lie
has been commissioned to report sin tho
condition of dairying in the countries hn
visits. Other scientists will go to Aus
tralasia ami to Mexico and the latter will
collect specimens mid data as to what will
be desirable fr mi the senii-arid regions.
Advantage will be taken of a visit of an ex
pert to Central Asia uu I tree sjeds froia
there are expected.
Professor Hanson, of the Agricultural
College, of South Dakota, who has arranged
to go to Europe will be font to east A-ia to
secure tree seeds and llguues.
Special efforts will bo made to obtain the
latter Iu various places beeausn of their
powi-r to bring nitrogen from tho atmos
phere into the soil.
Mr. Wilson docs not expect that tho ills
tributlon of common seeds can bo done
nwny with, as he recoguiws a considerable
demand forthem, but so far as possible tho
rarer kinds will be substituted for common
BRANDING-IRON FOR FEMALE SEALS.
A Ui'Vlre Tlmt Will Make 1'elngic Sealing
l'liirolltalile.
Dr. Jor lan. of the Palo Alto t'nlvcrslty,
California, lias stated that as the Hriiis'h
Government has not come to any satisfac
tory terms with tho I' nltod States for pro
tecting tha fur s'ials in U'-riug Hon, tho
United Statics will begin this summer,
through the l'ur Seal Commission, the work
of branding femule seals on thePribylov
Islands. This will spoil the skins of the
branded seals nud so stop pelagic, sealing
by making it unprofitable.
Dr. Jordan will tako several morn assis
tants from tho UnlversiW to aid iu the
work. They nro A. W. Greeley and It. E.
Snodgrass, of the noology department; A.
J. Edwurds, Howard H. Warren and Elmer
h. runner, farmer has Invent d an elec
trical machine for branding the seals, and
If it proves satisfactory it will do a great
deal toward settling tho seal question.
There is a possibility that the female
seals will bo corralled oil one of the islands
during the senllug season. This will ne
cessitate building about two miles of board
fence, ami It Is not certain yet whether the
lumber can be procured. It will be done If
possible. Dr. Jordan will loavo Seattle for
Sitka on July bth.
A CURE FOR LOCKJAW.
Tetanus Anti-Toxin Successfully Tried In
Han Irranclsco.
A treatment of lockjaw, or tetanus, new
to tho locality, has Just been successfully
tried at the Ueruinu Hospital, Han Fran
cisco, Cal., under the direction of Dr. Con
rad Well. Edmund Hheln received an In-
Jury to his thumb about n month ago and
louitj.-iw intervened. Within forty-eight
hours under the uew treatment signs of im-
f rovement began, and nt tho end of a week

When we talk of the United States
Government lu a familiar sort of way
we call It Tncle Sam;" and you Lave
often seen pictures of I'ncle Sam a
long, loan, old-fashioned Yankee, with
a high hat and with n swallow-tail
coot oid breeches marked with tho
stain and stripes of the flag. The way
In which the United States came to U
called Uncle Sam Is this:
During the war of 1S12 the United
States Government entered Into a con
tract with n niuji by the name of El
bert Anderson to furnish supplies to the
army. When tho United States buys
anything from a contractor, on Iusih'o
tor is always appointed to h that the
goods are what the contract calls for.
and that the government gets full
value. In this case the government
appointed a man by the name of Sam
uel Vllon, who was always called
"Uncle rain" by those who knew him.
He Inspected every package and cask
that came from Klbert Anderson, the
contractor, and If lie found that the
contents were nil right, the package or
cask was marked with the letters "E.
A. U. S.," the initials of the coutractor
nud of the United States. The limn
whose duty It wus to do this marking
was a Jovial sort of fellow, and when
somebody asked him what these let
ters meant, be said they stood for Kl
bert Anderson ami I'ncle Sam. Kvery
hody, Including "I'ncle Sam" Wilson
himself, thought this was a very good
joke; and by and by It got Into print,
mid before the end of the war it was
ktiowu all over the country; and that Is
the way the United States received Its
uame of "I'ncle Sam."

I cannot speak too highly of Mrs.

much fur me. I have been u great suf
ferer from Kidney trouble, pains in
HitiM-lcs, joints, back nud shoulders;
feet would .swell. I also bud womb
troubles and lcuenrrliii-a. After vising
Lydia K. I'iuklinm's Vegetable Com
pound, and IMood 1'urilier and Liver

kidneys tire now in perfect condition,
and till my other troubles are cured.

Kidney Trouble.
Before taking Lydia L Pink'.iam's
Vegetable. Compound, I had MilTcrcd
many years with kidney trouble. 1'lie
pains in my back and shoulders were
terrible. My menstruation became ir
regular, and I was troubled with leu-con-hii'ii.
I was growing very weak. I
had been to many physicians but re
ceived no benefit. 1 began the use of
Mrs. l'iukliuui'.s medicine, and the first
bottle relieved tho pain iu my back
and regulated the menses. It is flu
best kind of medicine that I have ever
taken, for it relieved the pain !.otiickly
and cured the disease.--Mus. I l.l.l A If
