the greatest study of the physician.
To be sure, tt 1 In this .brsocb, of the
art that the medical man Is of the most
practical use to the public, and yet the
cure, of disease bo regards as one of
the least attractive and , one of the
Jeast scientific of the many branches.

and the detection of the cause and the
nature of disease , are tbe Interesting
: and Important considerations. ' Tbe
' . 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 bis own powers. . ' , '
There may be "born" diagnosticians
to whom tbe secrets of Mature are dls
closed through some peculiar inherent
quality, but usually the power of di
agnosia comes to. him who cultivates
' - the faculties common to all Intelligent
men. , , ,,-.'
, The physician with a glance at your
tongue tells you that your digestive
tract Is disordered, not because he
sees It through your open mouth ans"
throat nor yet because he can de

through the thickness of your waist-
, coat. lie has learned his lesson from
precept and experience.
, It Is not always the most rapid diag-
; nostlcian 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 wsflo reaches a diagno
sis in nre seconas without asking a
question. Such a diagnosis Is often
: proved false by more deliberate exam
lnatlon, and yet a glance may tell the
well trained ..doctor,: as "much as he
' could' learn in an hour by word of
mouth; : .. J v, ',,' ;
The pufflness which we often notice
below the ; eye Immediately suggests
disease of the heart or kidneys, and
the man who comes up a i short flight
of stairs puffing and, blowing and at
the same time has this pufflness under

sis at a glance in many cases very
easy matter and a knowledge of Which
deprives the art of ranch that other
wisi would seem almost superhuman
Aside from the diagnosis of actual
dlse.ise, there is much that a single
look can teach tbe doctor of the social
status, manner of life and habits of
htm who solicits professional aid, and
these things all go to aid in proper
diagnosis and proper trratment,
The soft white, hands of the fat and
well groomed man,' together with his
high color on slight exertion, tell of a
sedentary life, with liberal diet, so
often productive, of poor elimination
and consequent rheumatism, gout and
kidney troubles, while 'the," unsteady
band, flushed face and shabby or care
less attire of the alcoholic bespeak a
liability to nervous disorder, to kidney
disease and pneumonia,
The facial grimaces and quick, rea
sonless movements of a child tell of a
highly organized nervous constitution
which may give way under strain to
St Vitus dance, epilepsy or a kindred
nervous disease. The stained fingers
betray . the constant cigarette smoker
and' tbe 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 tbe
story of the patient or of his friends
Sir Frederick Treves.
(Who performed tha operation on Kins

which go to make tbe 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 ding
nosticlan. : There - is no special gift
which makes one capable of the deter
ml nation of the character of disease.
Diagnosis Is the natural faculty of
nun wno nas a comprenensive glance
and a logical mind, together with am
ple knowledge of medical facta 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 bv
wtucn a man's place in the profession
Is measured.

cident that occurred when the f ult

still a novelty. The wife of Captain

HIGHWAY ACROSS COUNTRY

The movement for tbe building of a
macadamized highway from New York
to Chicago Is certainly deserving of
success, says the Cleveland Leader.
Anything that Is designed to Improve
the country roads of any part of thf
Lnlted States ought to be encouraged.
for the greatest obstacle In the way of
the successful development of tbe ag
ricultural regiona of tbe country today
Is the difficulty experienced In travel
ing over the highways in certain sea
sons of the year. ? V .
'j he movement for good roads was
given considerable impetus ' several
years ago, when n great army of wheel
riders began to clamor for improve
ments lu the highways, and much was
accomplished lu various sections of tho
country through the efforts of thr
wheelmen's organization. The era?.;
for bicycle riding has Rbated, however
and one force In the good roads move
