Doctors?A Witty Defense of the Profession. Professor N. R. Smith, the famous surgeon and physician, lectured on "Doctors," a few days ago, at the Masonic Temple in Baltimore. We quote as follows from the Sun's report: Being introduced by Mr. W. H. Sadler, the Professor said he needed no introduction, as he knew those?present, or was known to them, if not professionally, as a semi-centenarian citi? zen of Baltimore. -He was not present to tra? duce that profession, so many of whose mem? bers he himself had taught; for in so doing he would traduce himself. His friend, Gov. Pratt, had asked him, some time ago, if doc? tors at large did not do more harm than good, and he had replied that, taking the legitimate members, they did not, but if quacks in and out of the profession, and patent medicine were includea, he must answer in the affirma? tive. It was the same with religion, no one will deny that the Christian faith is productive of good, but take all beliefs and the result is bad. There is empiricism in every profession; there is mach of it in religion, .and very much . in the. law; but not so much in medicine as law, because there is less chance for humbug, i [Laughter.] There is so profession so much maligned as the medieal profession. If a doc? tor is pat on the stage he is invariably made ridiculous, and even children are taught to dread doctors. Ma says, "Be a good boy, Willie, or I will send for the doctor," and Willie is afraid, as he knows the doctor will come for a fee. [Laughter.] He told an inci? dent where a boy had an abscess, and when Prof. Smith was mentioned the boy said he wonld hot have him. Something had to be done that, while not according to moral principles, was necessary. He (the Professor) was introduced as TJncle John, of California, and talked with the boy about his disease. The surrounding parts had to be shaved of hair, and the boy wanted to do it himself. While he was doing it the Prof, said he was working awkwardly and asked the boy to let him have the razor. The boy did so, cheerfully, and in an instant the abscess was opened, but the boy cried out, "You devil! you're not Uncle John; your name's Smith I" [Laughter.] Great men, as well as small, maligned doc? tors. Napoleon did not like doctors, but fa? vored a certain surgeon. This inconsistency was plain in view of the fact that no one can be a good surgeon without a knowledge of j medicine. Frederick the Great was also incon? sistent in sending for the great physician, Dr. Zimmerman. The King said, "I presume doctor, you have put a great many souls out of the world," to which the doctor replied, "Not' so many as your majesty, nor with such glory to myself." If the medical profession have done nothing else they have at least benefited humanity. In the matter of small pox particularly look what it has done. Here the professor detailed the . progress made by the profession in the treat? ment of that disease. During his remarks on this subject be said the prevailing* impression that Job had the small pox is a mistake, for it is related that his comforters sat by him seven days and nights, whereas if Job had "broke (Hit" there is not the slightest doubt but that his comforters wonld have taken quick leave. [Laughter.] Another benefaction given by doctors is that of snch medicines as guard against malarious influences. Some sixty years ago a vessel went Xthe Nile some three honored miles, and r a while she came floating back with every soul that had been on board lying dead on the deck. Now vessels visit that place regularly without any effect, and all on account of J quinine. Of late England has gained a victory over Ashantee, not by improved cannon or well-drilled armies, but because quinine has enabled them to brave the insidious miasma of i the place. Quinine will gain another victory. When, as it surely will be, the Darien ship channel will be built, it will be done as much by the sovereign power of quinine as by enter? prise and industry. It is estimated that there are 2,400 distinct diseases, out of which 1,500 are spontaneous. Scarlet fever is often spontaneous, and it is a question if any treatment is good for it except nature's own. The belief that diseases cannot be cured or broken up without Herculean med? icines is a great mistake. Even pulmonary consumption has been cured ere now by nature herself, and in this connection Dr. Smith relat? ed a great many very interesting circumstances attending wonderful cures. He once prescribed for a Bick girl, and after? ward met her mother, who said the girl got well from a home cure, and not from the medi? cine. The Professor was anxious to know what it was, and the woman was diffident in telling. At last she said it was simply the burned ashes of seven hairs cut from the ears of a black cat. [Laughter] The force of imagination is certainly very great, but much of the good attributed to the results of imag? ination come from nature's law. Professor Smith stated it as a fact that whis? key and tobacco bring more diseases than all other causes in the world. Even the propor? tion of accidents are mainly owing to nervous? ness or intemperance produced by these articles. They did more harm than the entire 2,400 remedies of materia medica did good. They were also mainly instrumental in shortening the average life of people generally. He be? lieved that nature intended man to live one hundred years, and invariably when dying be? fore that age it was owing to causes brought about by the individual. He argued that all domesticated animals live to five times the age of their maturity, whereas man matured at 21 and died according to the average in civilized countries at 33 years. The Professor closed abruptly just when the audience were warmed with interest in the subject. Rising from his ehair, he expressed his thanks to the audience and bade them good night. Plows and Ploughing.?Now I lay it down as a fact, that successful farming is impossible without good plows and good and thorough ploughing being done. Too many farmers there are, I must say, that do not know what good ploughing is, or what kind of ploughing is needed for certain purposes. We sometimes hear a farmer say he would not have a turning plow that did not turn over the furrow slice Serfectly flat. Well and good, but a plow that oes that kind of ploughing is not suited for breaking up ground intended for corn or wheat, as I shall presently explain. Now when I turn under green weeds or clover for manurial pur? poses, I prefer that the plow should turn over the furrow, slice perfectly flat, provided it covers up the weeds and clover ; but bear in mind, such plows never turn deep or pulverize the ground; what pulverizing is done afterwards, y the inverted slice being exposed to the ac- \ tion of the weather; and such plows leave the ground hard and smooth, below the" furrows ; j as such, those plows I never use in breaking I and turning the land preparatory for plant? ing. The turning plow I use for fall or winter ploughing, in preparing land for corn or wheat is the turning plow that breaks deep, and pul? verizes the ground and turns the furrow slices at angles of forty-five degrees, lodging each furrow against the other. The plow that does that kind of work leaves the ground thorough? ly broken and pulverized, and it remains soft and mellow; for when the furrow slices remain lodged against each other at the angle, they are never settled and compacted together by rains, as when turned over flat. When thorough ploughing and cultivation are undertaken, we need less area of land, than what has been customary with us in our South? ern system of farming ; and what is done, let it be well doue; and I will further add, rely more on rotating crops and turning under green veg? etation for resuscitating your lands, than on commercial manures. ' The Way of the World. There was once a pleasant village in a thrifty New England State?there are scores of such to-day. The boys attended district school, helped on the farm, in the store, and up at the mill; the girls went to school too, when their mothers could spare them, rode down hill on the boys' sleds in winter, helped with the housework in summer, and frolicked, boys and girls together, at apple-bees, corn-huskings, quilting-parties, and picnics all the year round. By-and-by two of the boys, the son of a far? mer and son of a minister went to the city. They were tired of country life, and determined to see the world. They were good, smart boys, and everybody prophesied well for them. They would take houest country blood into the great city, the werld would hear of them and their native village be proud of them. And so at first it seemed. The boys were received with favor, obtained the confidence of their employers, and rose rapidly until they were placed in positions of honor and trust. This good news'traveled of course to the little New England village, and became the never ending subject of conversation. The boys were the heroes and exemplars of the modern spirit of enterprise and progress; and while the girls who were left behind fretted at the necessity which chained them to their homes, numbers of the boys were goaded by taunts at their want of "smartness" to try their own luck, and were lost in the great maelstrom. But our two young adventurers continued to justify the good opinion of their townsfolk. Their fame spread, wealth came to them, sub? stantial evidences of which were seen in sundry additions to" the farm-house, in a new four wheeled vehicle for Sunday church-going, in divers silk dresses of quiet style but rich mate? rial, city-made bonnets, and such a fitting out as the parsonage had not seen in all the days of its existence. When the boys, now men, returned after a long absence for a brief visit they were received with due honors. A meeting was held in the meeting-house, speeches were made, everybody shook hands, the old people cried, the young women presented bouquets, and everything went merry as a marriage-bell. In fact mar? riage bells followed. The son of the minister had wedded the daughter of a city millionaire, but the farmer's son returned to wed the only daughter of the richest man in his native town. This put the climax to their prosperity. Boys were sent to them to be taught the art of suc? cess ; money rolled in upon them?they were now at the head of great business houses of their own?orphans and widows begged them to take their funds, invest and increase them. What is it that makes the apple rot when it has reached perfection ? What is it that puts a 1;.nit to prosperity and says to the waves of ambition thus far shall thou go and no further? What is it in poor human nature that thus pre? pares its own downfall ? One day a great bubble burst; one day a great wrong was detected. In the ruins of these events we find two smart boys; two rich, greedy, unscrupulous men ; hundreds of ruined fami? lies; thousands of miserable, wrecked men, women and children. One finds a refuge in a foreign land, the other in a back street; neither dare go home to receive curses instead of bless? ings. Bloodless Amputation?Is the latest attain? ment in surgical science, and a Chicago paper thus decribee the new process: If a limb is to be amputated, for instance, the surgeon begins by administering anaesthetics, as usual, and the patient being reduced to a comatose state, he takes a long, elastic bandage, and begin? ning at the toes, wraps it around the limb very tightly, each successive turn overlapping the former at least one-half, until the entire limb below, and four or five inches above, the place of amputation is completely enveloped. This forces all the blood in the limb upward, beyond the point of incision. When this is accomplished, a piece of flexible rubber tube is wound tightly around the member just at the upper edge of the bandage and secured by knots. This prevents the blood from return? ing, and it only remains necessary to remove the elastic bandage below, in order to be ready for the amputation. No blood follows the knife, and the operator can see to perform his work as well as if carving a round of beefsteak. When the work is completed, and all the arter? ies tied, the tube is loosened for the purpose of letting in the blood, in order to discover any twig-arteries not yet fastened. By this method the patient not only does not lose any blood from above the wound, but even that below is retained in the veins, leaving much greater strength in the body to recover from the shock than where the usual hemorrhage occurs. It is thought that this method may be also util? ized to avoid the administration of anresthetics, which are so much, though as a rule unneces? sarily, feared. The very tight elastic bandage several inches above the incision, it is believed, deadens the nerves of sensation to such an ex? tent that the operation can be performed with? out great pain to the subject, even though not under the influence of ether. The Fish.?The fish of the United States are unsurpassed in flavor in the world. Sports? men who, with rod and line, have whipped European waters, say there is nothing like them there from the Norway fords to the Gua dalquiver. Africa and Asia are both poor in this respect. Even in China, where fish is an abundant article of food, and is found in great variety, the fish is coarse. The salmon of the Scotch lochs afford the nearest approach to the succulence and tender delicacy of our mountain trout and the flaky cenderness of our salmon trout. Then there are the white fish, the bass, the shad, and an innumerable multitude of others. We have but one rival, and that a prolific but small one. It is the French sardine when fresh. This delicious fish, in a few years, will cease its rivalry, however, if reports are true from the coast of France. At present the sardine fisheries employ twenty thousand men, women and children on land to prepare the fish for market. Each year shows an advance in the price and a diminution in the catch, and in no great time overfishing will have produced its usual consequence?a failure of the fish. The Importance of Sneezing.?One may be pardoned for sneezing under any circum? stances, in view of the experience of a woman from this city, in Westficld, recently. Being in company, and attempting to suppress a sneeze, she felt a queer sensation in the left side of her face, which soon began swelling and drawing out of shape. A physician was called, but By the time he arrived her mouth and the left side of her face had become drawn up, disfiguring her so that her most intimate friends could scarcely recognize her features, while she found it impossible to close her left eye. The physicians say it is a kind of paral? ysis, causen by the great effort she made in suppressing the sneeze, and give but faint hopes that her features will ever resume their natural appearance. She is now in this city seeking medical advice?Spri7ig?cld Republi? can. Fat Meat for Consumptives.?A taste for fat meat is unfortumely not universal among children, but when it shows itself it is often universally repressed by parents. This taste is another expression of the want of the living system which we can not disregard with impunity. Without fats the organism can not be built up in perfection. Fats counteract the tendency to consumption. Observation has established the fact that persons who in early life show a taste for fat meat seldom fall vic? tims to that disease; and, vice versa that consumptives have generally shown an early repugnance to such food, there can be no question as to the lesson taught by this fact that when the appetite exists it ought to be indulged, and that it ought, if possible, to be created, when wanted, by tonics, and abundant exercise in the open air. i Relative Weights.?The average weights of boys at birth range a little over six pounds and a half, while -girls fall a little below the figure. For the first twelve years the two sexes increase in weight in about the same ratio, after which time the boys take decided lead?the result being that young men of twenty average about one hundeed and forty three pounds, while the average for young women of the same age is twenty-three pounds less. Men reach their heaviest bulk at the age of thirty-five, their average weight at that time being about one huudred and fifty-two pounds. The maximum of weight is attained by women at fifty years, and is about one hundred and twenty-eight pounds. The weight of the average man or woman at full growth about twenty times that at birth. Cure for Lockjaw.?A correspondent of the Scientific American recommends turpentine as a cure for lockjaw. He says: "Let any one who has an attack of lockjaw take a small quan? tity of turpentine, warm it and pour on the wound, no mutter where the wound is, or of what nature it is, and relief will follow in less than one minute. Nothing better can be ap? plied to a severe cut or bruise than cold turpen? tine ; it will give certain relief almost instantly. Turpentine is also a sovereign remedy for croup. Saturate a piece of flannel with it and place the flannel on the throat and chest, and very severe cases three to five drops on a lump of sugar may be taken inwardly. Every family should have a bottle on hand." The remedy is simple and easily tested. In all serious cases an application should be made under needful advice. All Sorts of Paragraphs. ?

Sixteen lady medical students graduated in Philadelphia recently. Including those who passed through other colleges in the West and elsewhere in the United States this Spring, the number of women who have entered the medical profession this year will not probably fall below one hundred. ?

An exchange tells us that a school-boy's toothache generally commence? at 8 a. m., reaches its high test latitude at a quarter to 9, when the pain is intense to an extraordinary degree; commences to subside at 9, and after that disappears with a celerity that must be very comfortable to the sufferer. If at night that boy hasn't got four quarts of walnuts spread out to dry, up stairs, it is because there is no place up stairs to do it. ? We do not expect to dissuade people from kindling their fires with the dangerous oil of kerosene, though we have probably prin? ted accounts of from 40,000 to 50,000 accidents, more or less fatal, of the result of this incau? tious expedient. It may do no harm, however, to mention that a woman in Fort Wayne Ind., who, a week or two ago, had a pair of beau? tiful arms, is now totally wanting in those beautiful limbs. Amputated, both of them ; and all because of kindling with kerosene. THE FAVORITE HOME REMEDY.
