Subscribe to The Sun Medical Auxiliary Pays Tribute On “Doctor’s Day” March 30th has been designated as ‘Doctor’s Day” in South Caro lina and the other Southern states to honor members of the medical profession both living and dead. This commemorates the anni versary of the date that the fam ous Georgian, Dr. Crawford W. Long, first used ether anesthesia in surgery. The idea of a Doctor’s Day was originated by Mrs. C. B. Almond of Winder, Georgia, and her resolution was adopted in 1935 by the Woman’s Auxiliary to the Southern Medical Association. We, the members of the Wo man’s Auxiliary to the Newberry County Medical Society, being very proud of our doctors and their fine and honorable work, pay especial tribute to them on this Doctor’s Da. A red carnation, the official flower, which each member of the Medical profession wears on Doctor’s Day, is given by the Aux iliary as a token of our apprecia tion for their service and unfail ing devotion to the relief of the sufferings of humanity. The following is a tribute paid to. the physician by Robert Louis Stevenson; “There are men and classes of men that stand above the common herd: the soldier, the sailor, and the shepherd, not fti- freqently; the artist, rarely; more rarely still, the clergyman; the physician almost as a rule. He is the flower (such as it is) of our civilization; and when that stage of man is done with, and only to be marvelled at in history, he will be thought to have shared as little as any in the defects of the period, and most notably exhibited the vir tues of the race. Generosity he has, such as is possible to those that practice an art, never to those who drive a trade ^discre tion, tested by a hundred sec rets ; tact, tried in a thousand embarrassments; and what are most important, herculean cheerfulness and courage, so that he brings air and cheer in to the sickroom, and nften enough, though not so often as he wishes, brings healing.” THE PHYSICIAN’S PRAYER “Thy eternal providence has ap pointed me to watch over the life and health of Thy creatures. May the Ibve of my art actuate me at all times; may neither avarice nor miserliness, nor thirst for glory, or for a great reputation engage my mind; for the enemies of truth and philanthropy could easily de ceive me and make me forgetful of my lofty aim of doing good to Thy children. May I never see in the patient anything but a fellow creature in pain. Grant me strength, time and opportunity al ways to correct what I have ac quired, always to extend, its do main; for knowledge is immense and the spirit of man can extend infinitely to enrich itself daily with new requirements. Today he can discover his errors of yester day and tomorrow he may obtain a new light on what he thinks himself sure of today. “O God, Thou hast appointed me to watch over the life and death of Thy creatures; here I am ready Services For Mrs. Suber On Saturday Mrs. Sara Shannon Suber, 60, died suddenly early Friday morn ing at Newberry County Memorial Hospital following a short illness.
