OLD TIME DOCTORS.

The Students whine c Their Teachers In Practical Work.

During the last century in America the medical education of a young stu- dent was generally what he picked up by serving as an apprentice to some noted practitioner, which combined the duties of a student with many menial aifairs,

He ground the powders, mixed the pills, rode with the doctor on his rounds, held the basin when the patient was bled, helped to adjust the plasters, sew the wounds and run with vials of medi- cine from one end of town to the other. It was a white day when such a young man enjoyed the rare good fortune of dissecting a half putrid arm. So great indeed was the difficulty of obtaining anatomical subjects that the medical school of Harvard college made a single body do duty for a whole year.

Under such circumstances the doc- tor’s knowledge was practical, and de- rived from personal experience rather than from books. The advantages o! study were sparingly enjoyed. Few physicians boasted of a library of 50 volumes.

His apprenticeship ended, the student returned to his native town to assume the practice of medicine. At that period, with the exception of the minister and the judge, the doctor was the most im- portant personage in his community. His genial face, his engaging manners, the sincerity with which he inquired after the carpenter’s daughter and the interest which he took in the family of the poorest laborer made him the fa- vorite for miles around. He knew the names and personal history of the occu- pants of every house he passed. The farmer’s lads pulled off their hats to him and the girls dropped courtesies as he passed, Suechine and rain, daylight and darkness, were alike to him. He would ride ten miles in the darkest night over the worst of roads in a pelt- ing storm to administer a dose of calo- mel to an old woman or attend a child in a fit.

The drugs were stowed away on the Shelves of the village store, among heaps of shoes, Rohan hats, packages of seeds and flitches of bacon.

The physician was compelled to com- pound his own drugs, make his own tinctures and put up his own prescrip- tions. His saddlebag was the only drug store within 40 miles. Each spring the blood must be purified, the kidneys ex- cited and the damsel who fainted pro- fusely bled...Large deses of senna and manna and rhubarb aud molasses were taken daily. It .avas safe to say that more medicine Was taken every year by the weil than is now taken by the sick in the same time.

‘Water was denied tho patient tor- mented witl® fever. Ih its stead was given asmall quantity of clam juice. Mercury was taken until the lips turned blue and the gums fell away from the teeth.

The writer has a vivid recollection, when about 8 years old, in a raging fe- ver, pleading for water. The nurse hand- ed the pitcher, and the child satisfied her burning thirst. Her brother, over- hearing what was going en, rushed into the room, exclaiming, ‘‘You wiil kill her,’’ but it was too late. —American Magazine.

President Livcoln’s Birthpiace,

Abraham Lincoln, our great war presi- dent, was born in Larue county, Ky., ina rude littic log cabin. This cabin has re- cently been restored, and’ so far as possi- ble made cxactly as it was 88 years ago, when a littie baby boy was born to Thomas and Nancy Lincoln, or ‘‘Linkhorn,”’ as the name was then spelled—hum ble “‘settlers,’’ who had moved to the neighborhood from Washington county four years before.

The few living people who remember Thomas Lincoln, the father, say that he was a rather improvident man, not work- ing long at any one thing. He. wasa hard worker, but was a poor manager, and the little family was often without more than the simplest necessaries of life. Thomas Lincoln clezred a few acres around his cabin and raised a small crop of corn and grain. Then he became a carpenter and tinker, working at such odd jobs as he could find among the pioncer neighbors. He was away at work at the time Abraham was born.

The ne ‘ighbors heard that Mrs. Lincoln was in the cabin all alone with the little ; baby, and had little to cat except corn and potatoes. They at once visited the Lincoln cabin, taking such delicacies as their houses afforded. The father returned in a few days, and the baby was named Abra- ham Lincoln after his grandfather, who had been killed by the Indians when ‘nemas Lincoln was a aivede ar —George H. Yenowine in St. Nichols:
