and the detection of the cause and the
nature of disease are tho Interesting
and important- considerations. The
; means of cure are matters of record
and matters of precept, while In each
. case the diagnosis Is a fresh problem
capable of solution only by the appli
cation of knowledge, keen observation
, and correct reasoning. The textbook
may, tell him what to do for any given
disease, but he must determine the ex
istence of that disease by the exercise
of his own powers. . " ' '-
' There may be "born", diagnosticians
. . to whom the secrets of Nature are dls
closed through some peculiar Inherent
quality, but usually the power of dl
agnosia comes to .him who cultivates
the faculties common to all intelligent
. The physician with a glance at your
tongue tells yon that your digestive

sees It through your open mouth anf

precept and experience. -
, v It Is not always the most rapid diag
nostician who is best, but "snap" diag-
, nosis Is an attractive thing to the pa
tient, and he likes to tell of the powers
of the physician Ttiho reaches a diagno-
, sU in Ave seconds without asking a
question. Such a diagnosis is often
proved false by more deliberate exam
v lnatlon,' and yet a glance may tell the
well trained .doctor as much as he
' coul4 learn Jn an hour by word of
mouth; - ; '

below the eye immediately suggests
disease of the heart or kidneys, and

WTSose face Is puffy, whos eyes axe
watery and whose nose la running can
be, adjudged, even in. the absence, of
eruption, as .a victlni of nieasles, es
pecially where the disease Is prevalent
and the season favorable, while the
marked sore throat and general red
ness of the skin will cause a diagnosis
of scarlet fever aat first sights if &

The patient who whilevery 111 must
be bolstered up by manypillows that
he may breathe with , freedom is sur-
fcrlng from some heart trouble. 4
So we see that the doctor has mnny
well marked signs which make die gno
sis at a glance in many cases a very
easy matter and a knowledge of which
deprives the art of much that other-
wise would seem almost suporbuman.
Aside from the diagnosis of actual
disease, then Is much that a single
look can teach the doctor of the social
status, manner of life and habits of
him who solicits professional aid, and
these things all go to aid in proper
diagnosis and proper troptun-nt.
The soft, white hands of the fat and
well groomed man," together with bis
high color on slight exertion, tell of
sedentary life, X with liberal . dletj 1 so
often productive of poor elimination
and consequent rheumatism, gout and
kidney troubles, while 'the. unsteady
hand, flushed face and shabby or care
less attire of the alcoholic bespeak
liability to nervous disorder, to kidney
disease and pneumonia. .-,.', ,''-:
- The facial grimaces and quick, rea
.sdnless movements of a child tell of
highly' organized nervous constitution
which may give way under strain, to
'St Vitus dance, epilepsy or a kindred
nervous disease. ' Tne stained fingers
betray the constant cigarette smoker
and' the tobacco laden breath him who
smokes' too much,' ' The tanned face,
the calloused hand and wrinkles are
Indicative of hard labor and battles
with the elements. .
It is these things, coupled with the
story of the patient or of his friends,
Sir Frederick Treves.
Who performed the operation on King
Edward.
which go to make the diagnosis. A
few striking symptoms simultaneously
discovered by the quick sight of the
doctor will at once justify the diagno-
sis. " ' ' " "
It Is the power of the physician to
observe minute detail, to put two and
two together and to learn a lesson from
each symptom which makes the diag-
nostJolan. - There , is no special gifi
which makes one capable of the deter
Hilnation of the character' bf disease.
Diagnosis is the natural faculty of
him who baa a comprehensive glance
and a logical mind, together with am
ple knowledge of medical facts. It is"
the one respect in which the physician
may exhibit the skill which makes him
greater than his fellows, and It is but
natural that It is the standard by
which s man's place in the profession
Is measured.

The Army Baby's Peril.
The following story Is told of an In
cident that occurred when the full
blown rank of the army doctor was
still a novelty. The wife of Captain
de Smythe, whose baby was in the
throes of teething, wrote to the garri
son doctor as follows:
Dear Dr. Fhilrave I should be elnd If
you could come round and see my aby
this afternoon, as the poor darling is having-
a troiHl deal of trouble with his teeth.

wheelmen rolling through the country
did campaign .work for the betterment
of roads. They told the country folk,
and Insisted on it, too, that their roads
were not as good as some others. This
was missionary work, because It is a
phenomenon of country life that a man

Thai Macadamised Road Prom Hew
YarV, to Chicago. - ' '
The movement for the building of a
macadamized highway from New York
to Chicago ' la certainly deserving of
success, says the Cleveland Leader.
Anything that Is designed to Improve
the country roads of any part of the
United States ought to be encouraged,
for the greatest obstacle In the way of
the successful development of the ag
rlcultural regions of the country today
is the difficulty experienced In travel
tag over the highways in certain sea
sons of the year.
The movement for good roads was
given considerable impetus ' several
years ago. when a great army of wheel
riders began to clamor for Improve
ments In the highways, and much was
accomplished in various sections of the
country through the efforts of the
wheelmen's organization. The craa
for bicycle rldlmr lias abated, however
and one force In the good roads move
ment has leen lost. - - .
