Tbe psriert* know that certain ailments are treated at certain hours, between 9 o'clock in the morning and 5 o’clock in the afternoon, so that all the cases of toothache and ether woes heeding the aid of dentists assemble in tbe morning, all the hick children come in the afternoon, along w ith those wbo need electrical treatment, and so on. There to an evening class, presided over by two female physicians. Dr. Sara E. Post and Dr. Ellen G. Crum, for the trealn.ent of women and girls who work in shops and factories. Ever/ sort of treatment for every sort of ailment except smallpox to freely given here. Whatever misery there fa in this perpet ual gathering of the sick poor is not visible in fhe main room. There are a great many more women than men. an Dr. Charles G. Carrier, the house physician, accounts for this by the state ment tbat women are more frequently ill than men. and are more prone to regard themselves as ill, xvhen they are not so, than men, wbo are mere practical in this as in all things, and come for help only when there to something the matter will them. These women who are seen forever on the benches waiting their turns to go to the smaller rooms, seem, as a rule, to be neatly dressed, and are often stout and rugged looking. Now and then a bad cough, or the wince of the features be tokening a twitch of pain betray tbe fact that they are suffering. The room to well lighted, m clean as wax, floored with scrubbed boards and plainly furnished. It might be mistaken for the classroom of a Methodist church but for tbe searching and comprehensive odor of drugs that fills the air. As the people come in they go to the first of the little rooms, where the bouse physician sits, and tell him, through an open window, what they want. “1 want a tooth pulled, sir,” says one. “I have the rheumatism,” savsanother. Even a crick in the back or a headache or a sprain are complained of by other*. Now and then a drunkard totters’in. “I’ve been on a spree, sir, and I want to brace up,” said a young and decent looking man. “Well, you’ll hare to come in the after noon,” says tbe honse physician. “Then give me a dose of blowmide for my nerves." he says. A prescription of bromide of potassium to made out for him with a little chloral in it, and the friend who to with him to told to see that he goes to bed and to sleep and to wakened and brought around iu four or five boors. One woman who has a rela tive with the pneumonia calls it the am monia, and another one says she has the “brown keeters.” In the course of the day no such case occurs ns that which Dr. Stimpson tells the Seventh regiment boys tbat he once had, w herein a negro com plained that he “had a brown taste tn his mouth,” but all things are possible td him who waits and Itotens in this dis pensary. At 8 o'clock the dispensary was at its busiest. Tbe main room was croxvded, and th* work was under xvayin nearly all the smaller one*. Just beyond the nerv ous room two physicians seemed to be holding a reception for mothers with babes, nearly all so rosy and bright look ing as to lead to the suspicion that some one had advertised for exhibits for a l»by show. Next door the room for general medicine, usually the busiest of all. where ailments not belonging nnder any general head are treated, was closed and deserted, but in the room beyond Dr. l&ight wa^* treating throat ailments. And here was something peculiar and interesting, for he wore, attached to a leather strap around his forehead, a circular looking glass with a hole in the center. He held a verv small looking gLiss on the end of a long handle, The patient opposite him sat with his month open, aud the mirror on the doctor’s forehead caught the rays of a powerful light and threw them into the man’s mouth. In tbe man s mouth the doctor held the little glass in snch a position that th* depths of the throat were reflected in it. In another room was one of the best microscopes in the country, a German one, that cost $5o0, ami that is in use on at least half the days of tbe year in the dispensary. Further on were the rooms of the experts in dentistrv and women’s diseases. It has been found to be impossible to de cide as to the eligibility of indoor patients for charity treatment. No one cun de termine, either, whether a man or woman to or to not able to pay for the medicines •sed in their behalf. Their manner of dreMing indicates nothing, as many, par ticularly among the women, have hud very fine clothing given to them by well to do folks. On the other hand, oue man xvho looked m shabby as a man well could, proved to be tbe owner of several ten** ■lent houses, and a woman of Immbto mien was discovered to he the mother of A judge now sitting in the conns. Once, when a well dressed man was told that he looked as if he could afford ten cr nts for half a dollar’s worth of meduis.. he re plied: ' I have not a dollar in ii,c xvorld. I put on my beet clothes to cor.:- Iierc. If they arouse your suspicions I w ill put on my worst ones next time I come." Bat the question to next to never raised. All realise that it to impossjokj to de termine tbe worldly eonditior of patients b) their looks, and so no other question is asked than whether they can nlTord to nor too cents for their drags.
