Por thc past lifteen or twenty yearn
our profession lia? been pressing for
ward wit li so many new discoveries
am: :??a'i<- so n.any changes, both in
ii.-- uicdical and surgical ?lcpartmcuts,
thai '.vi are kept at a swift gallop to
k< :.]< atc with tin' medical centres of
th- -o.u nt ry; and so anxious is thc
in? ti i cal tuan to keep abreast of the
tin.es that all of his thoughts and
>tu?ic? seem to bu on some new reme
dy, - une new work, some new surgical
instrument ? . some new operation.
To this 1 shall urge no objection ;
provided wc do not carry it so far UH
to entirely discard all of the teachings
of our older brethren. It is all right
so far as it goes, but sumo times, when
we chase thc butterfly, wc lose valua
ble time and gain no headway, espe
cially in our profession. We must
also remember that there is much t<?
be learned outside cd' ??ur medical
books and periodicals in the daily pur
suit of nur profession. Wc must not
forget that it is not ?jnly thc college
faculty before whom wc must pass our
examination, for they have trained us
and will often bear with our short
comings, but we have a m??re exacting
faculty to pass before-4 the people,"
.'thc public" . and while they will
give us credit tor what is due us they
will neither condone or excuse our
shortcomings. Let me illustrate this
idea by an incidcut that occurred at a
medical college .just before the final
examination some years ago. lt was
during a professional visit of one of
the faculty to thc bedside of a sick
medical student. After he had exam
ined and prescribed for the sick stu
dent several of his fellow students
said to thc Professor: "We are study
ing bard, Professor, for the final ex
amination, and we hope you will be
easy with us. Wc hope to get your
vote in our favor. The Professor re
plied : . 'Well, that is all right, young
gentlemen. I always vote to graduate
my students. I never blackball them.
? send them hume with a diploma, and
if they are 'damn fools' their neigh
bors will soon lind it out."
Therefore, my professional brcthicn,
? would ask your indulgence to-day
while 1 call you back to one of thc
duties of our profession that we meet
with almost every day. I refer to the
44 1'hj/siciun nt thc ('molli r's lustiest."
This may seem to many of you to bc
of very little importance to thc gen
eral practitioner. This, however, is a
great mistake, as we will sec further
on. Let mc at this point speak of the
Inquest and the parties concerned
from a legal standpoint. In all civil
ized countries there is one branch of
thc government termed the judicial.
Among its other duties is that of the
trial of parties charged with thc com
mission of crime, llefore, however, a
party can bc arraigned for crime it is
necessary for the crime to exist, espe
cially that of death by violence or
from other than natural causes. Now,
in order to bring this matter iii a
proper manner before the Judicial
Court for trial, a department of the
judiciary, called the Court of the
Coroner, is provided, consisting of the
?Coroner and his jury. I will not go
into the details of the duties of thc
?Coroner in other countries, but will
confine this essay to thc Coroner \nd
the Inquest as it exists in this State.
Thc Coroner is an elective ofliccr. and
before entering upon thc duties of his
office lie takes a solemn oath to per
form tho duties appertaining to his
office to the best of his ability, and
also gives a bond of severa! thousand
dollars for the faithful performance of
thc same. Under the old law it was
the duty of thc Coroner, upon being
notified of the death of any person in
thc County from other than a natural
cause, to immediately investigate thc
cause of the death and to summon his
jury to assist. At a recent session of
our Legislature, however, this law was
amended so that when a death occurs
other than from natural causes, the
Coroner can only hold an Inquest upon
thc request of two or more reputable
citizens or after a personal examina
tion of thc matter by hin.self. The
Coroner on such notice and request
immediately orders the sheriff, or
some other officer, to summon a jury
of twelve men; he also summons one
or more Physicians to be present and
examine the bo?Ay of the deceased and
give their medical opinion. After the
jury has been formed the Coroner ad
ministers the oath they arc to bo gov
erned by. The Coroner then orders
thc jury to view the dead body. After
they have viewed the body and, if
possible, identified it, the witnesses
are then sworn and state what they
know of the cause of thc death (some
times this proceeding is rcversod and
the Physioian is first sworn.) This is
thc legal part of thc proceeding.
Now comes the medico-legal part, in
which the Physician comes to
thc front. Let me here suppose this
to be a case of murder. A row has
taken plane, wnonnno have been Used,
pistol shots have been heard, wounds
I CORONER'S INIJUB?.
i lie -A.nder.soii County
J\ [>ril 1 < >, 1 K9?).
j are seen <-n the body. Thc crowd is
full of witnesses who know all about
it. and can tell it all from the begin
ing to the end. The Physician is or
' dered by the Coroner to examine thc
i f .ii
, body. Ile looks at the body and sees
j thc wounds, he lia- heard all of the
; evidence of thc witnesses. What
1 must he say? What can he say?
1 Upon his say-so depends the innocence
or guilt of a human being, and per
haps his life. If there are more than
one wound he cannot say which wound
, caused the death-ho cannot say if
any of them caused the death-for
how can he know without a careful
! examination and dissection of the
body. Hight here the law steps in
and puts a stop to his work.
' The law now says a dissection shall
I not take place unless requested by the
! jury. If the learned and skilled Phy
? sudan cannot tell thc cause of thc
death, how can we expect a jury of
J men, however intelligent they may be,
I who are unskilled in the profession of
! medicine to say when a dissection
j shall or shall not take place. The
j Physician is requested to give, his
opinion without thc dissection, and if
* he docs it he does it at his peril,
i To-day. my professional brethren, I
i raise my voice in solemn warning
: against this loose and careless ut SQ ncr
j of conducting a post mortem examina
tion at a Coroner's Inquest. It has
on more than one occasion let the
guilty criminal escapo from a just and
- well-merited punishment, and allowed
j him to again roam about free and un
I tramellcd, except from thc stings of a
guilty conscience; and again some
times an innocent party is unjustly
convicted for thc same cause. The
j question is often asked who is to
j blame? Is it the juries, the judge,
or thc lawyers? I answer no-not
I always. It is well for us to examine
! into this matter more closely, and it
j may be that sometimes thc blame can
bc laid very closely to our own doors.
What, then, is thc duty of the Phy
sician at the Coroner's Inquest. Let
mc speak plainly on this subject,so that
wo can be put right before the jury of
Inquest, right before thc Courts of our
country, and right before our people.
A Physician, when called upon to
make au examination of a dead body
before a Coroner's Inquest, becomes
the friend of the Court of inquiry, ho
is the hired servant of the State for
the time being, he is in position oi a
Judge, his opinion is to be relied on
by thc whole State at large, and the
strong arm of thc law is thrown around
him to protect him from harm. It
is not the paltry &um of a i'ew dollars
that he is paid that is to bc considered
in the matter: that is a mere nothing
compared to the responsibility of his
position. Therefore, the Physician
should feel not only thc delicacy of
his position, but should remember and
maintain the dignity of his profession.
His diploma and examination by the
State Hoard gives him the right to
practice and also protects him in bis
calling. It, therofore, demands and
expects of him to serve the common
wealth whenever called on to the best
of his ability; it is for this reason
that thc State, through her Coroner,
called him to assiBt with his skill at
thc Coroner's Inquest. It is presum
ed that a Physician called upon to
make an examination before a Coroner
and his jury, i. ist not be connected
in any way with thc cause of the death
of thc deceased. That he must be
fully competent to perform the task
..signed him, and if he is not he
should say so at once, so that another
Physician could take his place that
will give his opinion as to the cause
of the death without fear or favor to
any party. This is not only good law
but common sense.
When a Physician is summoned by
the Coroner to examine thc body of a
dead person, he should answer the
summons promptly and cheerfully.
He should always take with him his
dissecting case of instruments, and
such disinfectants as he may choose,
(also a note book for usc as a reference
afterwards.) When he goos into the
Coroner's Court let him take his seat
quietly and listen carefully to the
testimony of the witnesses hut make
m? comment* whatever. Bo careful to
note the testimony in regard to the
dircotion the weapon was held by tho
accused, the position in which both
partios occupied at the time of the
row. the size of the weapon, abo of
the ball or instrument used by either
party, take notice of everything that
gives information in regard to the
wound, the time it was inflicted, the
time thc party died. Don't be in a
hurry to ask questions or to give your
opinion. Your opinion is your own
private property, and if you express
it, it belongs to everybody, and you
may regret it when it is too late to
recall it. Keep your own counsel
ft won't hurst your boiler and may be
of great service to you hereafter.
Answer no questions, ?nicas to some
one who is authorized to ask thc ques
I??o?i. Wueu ino Coroner requests you
to proceed with thc examination go to
i thc body, note of the position you find
thc body, unless it has been moved.
1 Notice carefully the clothing, note its
condition; then inspect carefully thc
body: search for the wound or wounds;
notice for powder burns and everything
??f importance. After you have gone
through with this to your satisfaction,
? if you can consistently do so give
your (?pinion. If you can not give an
; opinion be sure to say so in a plain,
but respectful manner, to the Coroner
and .Jory, and tell them of the neecs
! sity of a careful dissection of thc
j body. The law does not expect iui
I possibilities of any one. Also re
? member that it is a very serious mat
i ter to give an opinion that will per
haps let a guilty party escape or cou
demn au innocent party, and cause
him to Miller for one'H incompetency
i or carelessness. Also remember that
j there may be many causes to produce
death besides the wounds found on
thc body of the deceased. How many
times have wo seen our soldiers in thc
Confederate army wounded in almost,
every part of the body, and left on the
battlefield as beyond all hope from
medical aid, and some of them arc
living and apparently well, even at
this late day. Another point. Re
member the opiuion you give way off
in the country to a small but excited
crowd around you, may cause you con
siderable annoyance when you are
placed on the witness stand at the
session of thc Circuit Court. It has
been stated by an eminent authority
"that it is very uuwise on the part of
a medical man to give his opinion as
to the cause of the death of a party by
violence, or other unnatural cause,
without first making a careful dissec
tion of every organ of his body." I
would, therefore, urge upon you to be
careful of giving your opinion of the
cause of the death of a party without
a careful dissection of the body. If
thc Jury consents to thc dissection of
the body, (and I am sure no reasona
ble jury would object,) I would make
the following suggestions: After dis
infecting the hands well, proceed in a
very deliberate manner to make your
dissections. Allow no one to dictate
to you what to do, or when to stop.
Don't allow them to hurry you in your
work. If you need any help select
your own man-some good, level
headed man is easily found in a crowd,
and make him obey your orders.
Don't let him lead you. You are the
responsible party, aod it is your opin
ion that will tell the tale. You will
some times find a smart Aleck, or a
bulldozer in the crowd who will do
considerable talking, and be as full of
suggestions as an egg is of meat. This
will sometimes cause you some annoy
ance. Just call the attention of the
Coroner to the necessity of keeping
order, and the Coroner will readily
como to your relief and make it pleas
ant for you. Be sure to examine the
body until you are fully satisfied. If
there is any doubt on your mind, go
over every organ again-even take in
the spinal cord and brain. Of course
if you are satisfied soon after getting
into thc body it is all right. Don't
forget, however, you may be asked
about the condition of every organ in
the body at the Circuit Court. The
lawyer always takes care of the doubts
in favor of the prisoner. When you
hr.ve satisfied yourself as to the cause
of death, and you are through with
the dead body, say nothing. Keep
quiet. After washing your hands ask
for pen, ink and paper, and write out
I your opinion in a plain and intelligible
manner. Above all things leave off
your technicalities-they don't count
for anything with the jury, it only
shows you don't understand the Eng
lish language, and have to borrow
from some dead language to express
yourself. Cse plain English, nothing
moree After writing your opinion
hand it to the Coroner, and let him
swear you. Again answer no ques
tions, unless by order of thc Coroner
or jury, as by so doing you aro only
furnishing ammunition for the lawyers
at the next term of the Court. Hav
ing made the post m or tom and deliv
ered your opinion to the jury, keep
your mouth closed until you are order
ed to open it by the proper authorities
at Court.
I have hurriedly sketched our duties
at the Coroner's Court in a murder
case. I have not gone into cases of
poisoning, child-murder, abortion,
rape, insanity, dec, as my paper has
already exceeded the limit, but I trust
I have said enough to causo a halt, at
least for a while, in our rush after
new things, aad to consider some of
tho more practical duties of our pro
fession.

How to Win u Man.
Many a wife complains that her hus
ami does not take her about, that
she only sees him at meals, <>r that he
makes friendships in which she has
no part. She blames him for neglect
ing her, and thinks herself ill used.
Vet he is ouly following the natural
instinct of humanity in seeking for
sympathetic friendship; thc fault real
ly is hers. If her conversation does
not interest him sufficiently to hold
him, she should study him and the
subjects that he cares for, and try to
live to his standard. She has once
had his love and sympathy; if she has
not kept it. it is she who is to blame
for not striving to care for the things
which occupy and interest him.
A man to be won and kept, must
first be attracted, and then made io
feel that he has found a sympathy
which draws him out, and makes him
talk about what interests him most.
It is not enough to make him listen
while he is being talked to. For a
time that will keep him, but he will
tire of always being a listener, of al
ways giving his sympathy and receiv
ing none. To hold a man, a woman
must understand and study him ; she
must not be exacting, for to expect too
much only makes him feel that he
wants to give less. She must realize
that men are almost always selfish, in
cradically so, not from any innate de
pravity of their sex, but merely from
the modern conditions of life which
have molded them.
A man usually goes out into the
world young, he leads a separate exis
tence at an age when his sister is still
surrounded by her home circle. When
his work is done, if he has any, he has
only to think, "What shall I do to
day that will give me the most pleas
ure?" That men act more and more
on this principle is shown in the way
they now treat their ordinary social
engagements ; the way they will break
one when another more attractive of
fers itself, and will not decide until
the last moment whether or not they
will go to such and such a party. Can
any one wonder that many years of in
dulgence io this, coupled with a larger
command of money than their sisters,
should make them more selfish, should
end by fixing the habit of tl inking of
their own pleasure so firmly in their
minds that it is practically ineradica
ble ? It may be overpow?red fora
time by a strong affection, and all the
counter influences of courtship and
early matrimony. But Ute;, when
these have ceased to bo novelties, and
a man settles down to a regular mar
ried life, the old selfish habit of years
reasserts itself, and his wife is in
clined to blame him for changing to
ward her.
This is unjust, for he is no more to
be blamed for the habits which have
been acquired from his circumstances
and environments than he is tc ba held
responsible for those qualities which
he inherits from his progenitors. It
is better for the woman who lives
with him, and whose happiness is
bound up with his own, to recognize
this fact, and, in studying his tenden
cies, to take her measures accordingly.
A woman, on thc contrary, is train
ed in a different school. When her
brother is out in the world earning his
iiviug, or, at any rate, leading a sepa
rate existence, she is usually at home
with other members of the household,
whom she has always to consider when
any plans or engagements, however
trivial, have ip be made. She, though
she rarely realizes it, can only think,
"What can we do to-day which will
interest or amuse us?" She cannot
go about much alone, and often her
means are too limited to allow of much
independent action. Having thus to
defer to thc wishes of her relations,
she is duly trained in habits of yield
ing to others and of unselfishly giving
up her will and pleasure to them.
Thus he in his bachelor days is duly
trained to selfishness, she, in her spin
sterhood, is equally brought up to un
selfishness. The sooner a woman
recognizes this fundamental difference
between the aoquired natures of her
self and men the more likely is she to
be attractive to them, and the better
chances she will have of lasting hap
piness.- The Mexican Herald.

Rnjuh Has Killed His Ninth Man. !
KANSAS ( ITV, Mp., April H.-The
murderous elephant, Rajah, known as
the "Man Killer," added another to
his list of victims this morning when
he killed his keeper, Frank Fisher.
Fisher is the ninth man that Rajah
has killed during the seven years that
he has been in captivity. Ile proba
bly will not add to his list, for there
is a movement on foot to have bim
slain.
Fisher went to the circus' winter
quarters at Argentine this morning.
Ho was proud of his powers as an ani
mal tamer. To prove his powers, he
visited, in turn, the lion's cage and
the bear's den, coming out of each
uninjured.
Then he went over and commenced
io ?day with Rajah.
Rajah was in a particularly vicious
mood and refused to obey Fisher's or
ders. When he refused to open his
mouth. Fisher struck him on the trunk
with his fist. This angered the ani
mal. Ia a second he had grabbed
Fisher's arm in his mouth and crush
ed it to pulp. The sight and taste
of blooc and the trainer's screams
crazed tLa monster. He tossed Fisher
to the ground with his trunk aad tried
to gore him with his tusks. His
tusks were so short, however, having
been sawed off close, to render them
less murderous, that he could not reach
his victim with them.
Rajah then deliberately knelt upon
Fisher's chest. He broke every rib
in the man's body and crushed the life j
out of him.
The coroner will hold an inquest to
morrow morning, after which legal
proceedings will be taken to have Ra
jah put to death. Several efforts in
this direction have been made before,
but his owners have always been able
to thwart them.
Nearly all of the nine men whom
Rajah has killed have been circus em
ployees who had nothing to do with
the elephants. Fisher is the first
keeper Rajah has killed. It has not
been because of any fondness that Ra
jah has had for Fisher that the latter
escaped until to-day, but because the
brute was afraid of him.
Fisher had been Rajah's keeper ever
since shortly after he was brought to
this country, and had had several nar
now escapes from death before. He
was an Englishman. His home was
in Montreal.
Rajah had been particularly trouble
some this winter, although Fisher was
the first man he had killed since the
circus went into winter quarters. A
few weeks ago ho broke loose and was
at large for two days, during which
time he made all kinds of trouble for
the railroads in the switching yards at
Argentine by tearing out their switch
es and signals. He even tipped a box
esr over one day, blockading the track
until a wrecking train could be se
cured from Kansas City.
He was shot several times before he
was captured, and it was feared for a
time that he might die, but the bul
lets never seemed to bother him much
beyond making bim more surly than
before. Rajah in a very large East
Indian elephant.
There ls a
widespread
and false im
pression
that a man,
in order to
be a good
! physician, must bo
more or less heart,
less. People mis
take heartlessness
for nerve. The two
I terms are far from
synonymous. A
man may have a nerve of steel and a heart
as tender as a mother's.
Of all the specialists iu the world there
probably are not two that have as wide an
experience, in the treatment of women's
diseases as Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids* Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. With
the assistance of his staff of able physi
cians, he has prescribed, in the past thirty
years, for many thousands of women. Dr.
Pierce is pre-eminently a sympathetic phy
sician. Perhaps more than any other man
in the profession he realizes the hardships
of woman's work, and the disadvantages
under which she labors because of the
weak, delicate and susceptible structure of
the feminine organism. His immense prac
tice in diseases peculiar to .women forced
upcu his recognition the fact that women
would never take the proper care of their
health, so long as that care required the
repugnant "examinations" and "local
treatments" insisted upon by nearly all
physicians. After years of study he invent
ed a remedy now known as Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription that is an absolute
and unfailing cure for the most complicated
and obstinate cases of diseases peculiar to
women. This wonderful medicine cures in
the privacy of the home, and does away
with the necessity for obnoxious "local
treatment." It imparts health, strength,
vigor and elasticity to the organs distinctly
feminine and fits for wifehood and mother
hood.
