Were the good advice a marketable commodity the income of the youngsters would be considerably increased during their first months in the harness, but unfortunately it, in its larger part, serves but a purpose of being an expected part of a pleasant occasion. The secret of success in medicine is one which would prove invaluable could it be communicated to and impressed on every new graduate. It is said to lie in solid foundation for practical work, in earnestness of purpose, in devotion to the calling, in integrity, in various interpretations of the golden rule, in keeping everlastingly at it, etc., and each of these assertions is correct and cannot be denied. But some who lack some of these qualities will succeed while many who possess many of them will after years of keeping everlastingly at it be as far as ever from the dream of graduation day. Success and failure are very different things as judged by different people; some never wish or expect financial success, being satisfied in a large field of usefulness among their fellowmen; if success is to be estimated by happiness these are the really successful men. But taking the generally accepted meaning of success in a professional career with its achievement of social and financial position, why is it that so many who have built on a solid educational foundation fail to reach it? In spite of the valedictorian statement that "there is room at the top" for all who merit, ours is an overcrowded profession, and there are those who have the temerity to assert that some who possess merit will find it very difficult to hang on at the "top," unless they are braced there by outside financial influence. The personal equation in the game of success is one of the strongest, the ability to command and use one's fellows is a gift and can rarely be cultivated; having this gift a degree of superficiality in some respects is greatly overbalanced. There seems to be a sort of predestination with some to lead and they lead, not because they have better education than others or as good, but because they are built for it. This is as true in medicine as in any other walk in life. Again, there are those who have the happy faculty of always saying the pleasant thing, and who are popular for it, preferred to the more scholarly man who frequently offends. social leader among women once told a protege that the secret of her success lay in this modification of the golden rule: "Sprinkle powdered sugar and it shall be sprinkled to you." The man who can forget the unpleasant things and always has something, favorable to say to and of almost any one will seldom have enemies, and his admirers will be an army. Physicians many times A may blame lax business methods for failure. I know a man who never sends a bill, who never asks for his fee, who seems to depend on his patients instead of his books. Medicine is a science and an art; it is also a business, and the physician who fails to put value on his services will soon find that the laity recompense him according to his own valuation. Physicians are notoriously poor business men, and a glance at the records of estates of deceased physicians will be sufficient evidence that they pay dearly for it. The nearer a physician can come to adopting the same careful methods which are employed by successful men in mercantile pursuits the more certain will be his financial success and with his financial success will naturally come social elevation.

This meeting promises to be of unusual interest, first, because of the programme, and second, because of the place of meeting. The preliminary programme of the surgical section has been announced and appears in this issueit comprises a symposium on surgery of the upper abdomen, surgery of the duodenum; a symposium on surgery of the nervous system; a symposium on lacerations of the obstetrical canal resulting from obstetrical injuries. The symposia feature of the modern programme commends itself to every physician as being the only practical and up-to-date method of considering thoroughly the progress in medicine and surgery. It is in fact a post-graduate course and when well presented gives in regular order, the latest information in the departments considered. The growth of interest in medical society work throughout the United States is one of the best signs of the times-it shows that intellectual life is in keeping with the commercial activities of the day; it shows the universality of belief in progress, and shows the growth of opportunities for men to avail themselves of the means at hand for progressive development. In spite of the forebodings of the pessimistic minority the reorganization of the State societies goes on with becoming healthful enthusiasm, and the Illinois State Medical Society is among the first, if not the first, in the United States in point of membership. The meeting in Rock Island will be successful and pleasant, the local profession mean to make it so. F.P.N.

This bill, which, if passed, would have permitted about a hundred osteopaths now practicing in this state to be registered without examination, was defeated in the house So much has been said of the conduct of American women and the various brands of The Filipinos in St. Louis. Filipinos who were during the year past stationed in St. Louis, and that which has been said has been so extreme that there would seem to be no occasion for anything more on the subject. But the grossness of a great part of what has been written is in itself an excuse for something further. It is an undeniable fact that a number of women were in an attitude of infatuation toward almost any kind of a foreigner during the Fair, a few of these were of our own city, but the vast majority were outsiders; every section of the country contributing its quota, some few were of the class which is supposed to merit being denominated "ladies," because of especial virtues. American mankind witnessed the encouragement offered not alone to Filipinos, but to other inferior races with a degree of disgust, at the same time we were unable to delude ourselves into the idea that the foreigners were responsible; it was perfectly apparent that they were, in the beginning, quite as surprised as were we ourselves. That there was any moral wrong, except in the rare cases, of which few will ever be discovered, there is no question. The statement which appeared in one of the local periodicals, that the Female and other hospitals were being crowded with girls and women who were there to be delivered of illegitimate offspring of Filipino paternity is too serious a libel on womanhood to be believed, even had there been evidences of so serious affairs during the Fair. It is now a year since the Filipinos came to St. Louis, and we have yet to hear of a real authentic case of such paternity. We are not denying that a considerable number of our women proved themselves several kinds of fools during the Fair, and we must confess that there were cases plenty where if nothing happened it was not the woman's fault. It is one of the things Americans have to be ashamed of, but as we said above, there were several degrees of fools, and the extreme cases were fortunately rare. The Sunday papers recently published a page of picutres of American women and Filipinos which must be a great satisfaction to those who have been anxious for the purity of American womanhood. Certainly every woman's face on the page was that of one who has had her experiences, and we think the bunch could be turned over to the Filipinos greatly to the advantage of America, though somewhat to the detriment of the Filipinos. T.A.H. WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL.-The medical faculty of Washington University have lately completed remodeling the old Polyclinic Hospital and the adjoining Missouri Medical College building, making of the two a hospital of considerable size and one which is to rank with the best in the city in matters of equipment and conduct. Though but recently opened the wards and private rooms in the new hospital are nearly filled and its career of usefuness is well inaugur ated. SICKNESS OF DR. R. M. KING. With profound sorrow we learn of the serious illness of Dr. R. M. King; at the time of writing the physicians having his case in charge are very fearful of a fatal outcome. Dr. ing has been for many years prominently identified with all matters of medical progress in St. Louis; in practice and in his position as a medical educator he has exerted a great influence for good. The whole profession is grieved at his illness and hoping for news of improvement. They GAUZE-RUBBER SPONGES.- Everett Mingus, Marshfield, Ore. (J.A.M.A.) recommends the substitution of rubber-lined gauze sponges for those ordinarily in use as diminishing the dangers of infection, the rubber making an impassable barrier to pus, and thus aiding in walling off discharges, etc. can also be so arranged as to form a receptacle or bowl, as the rubber is only on one side, the absorbing surface being on the other. The rubber, moreover, is not irritating to tender structures, such as the intestines or other inflamed organs. By loosely tacking the edge of the rubber to the gauze it can be removed and used, after disinfection, or the making of other sponges. THE PORTLAND TRIP. Plans are nearly perfected for the trip to the Portland meeting of the American Medical Association, and the company is fast filling up to the limit of The earlier excursion, Park reservation. which will include a trip through Yellowstone Park on the going trip leaves St. Louis on June 27th; this company is necessarily limited because but a limited number can be cared for in the park each day; reservations should be made without delay. The second party, leaving St. Louis on July 6th, goes direct to Portland without stop. There is no limit to the number who can go with this company, but sleeper reservation should be made considerably in advance if one hopes to exercise a choice in the matter of lower or upper berths, etc. Reservations for either party may be made through the local committee, Drs.

The Fate of Embolic Displaced Placental Cells. G. Schmorl, Zentralblatt fuer Gynaek., No. 5.)-In order to determine whether displaced cells of a normal placenta could bring on such changes as chorio-epithelioma, Schmorl has examined the lungs of 150 women who died at various stages of pregancy. He found pulmonary changes in but one case. The displacement of placenta cells is of very common occurrence, they were found most frequently and in larger number in cases that had died of eclampsia. He also asserts that, as Kassjanow has shown, the embolic displaced placental cells are not entirely dependent upon labor, but may appear in cases where labor has not yet begun, or at least in cases where the pains had not yet become severe, also that the embolic displaced placental cells do not only appear during the later stages of pregnancy, but may be found in the very early periods. Besides the above mentioned case the author found proliferative changes in two other cases which had had hydatid moles. So that he concludes that the cells of the normal placenta do not give rise to such lesions as chorio-epithelioma. He expresses himself carefully by saying that probably only such cells which have their origin in degenerated villi, as in hydatid moles, are capable of producing such progressive changes. 2. Fibroid Tumors of Pregnancy. (Marx, American Journal Obstetrics, Feb., 1905.) -The author's conclusions are as follows: 1. Every fibroid, with few exceptions, which develops during the child-bearing period, should be attacked by surgical means. Those fibroid which are beyond the dilating zone of the uterus should be carefully watched. Every complication during pregnancy which depends upon the fibroid should warrant surgical attack, or should at least cause us to consider the question of emptying the uterus. The apparently safe tumors should be watched during labor. Resultant complications, such as hemorrhage and delayed labor should be met as they arise. Tumors which block the bony passage, and can not be displaced should be enucleated per vaginm when possible, or Cesarean section should be performed and be followed by hysterectomy. 4. Sloughing and necrosis of puerperal fibroid must not be mistaken for retained secundines. The doubt must be eliminated by exploration with the aseptized hand. The curette should not be employed on account of the possibility of injuring the capsule and subsequent sepsis. 5. Sloughing and necrotic fibroids should be removed by enucleation or hysterectomy. A Brief Review of the Treatment of PrePuerperal and Puerperal Hemorrhages.-(C. J. C. O. Hastings, N. Y. Med. Jour., Feb. 25.) Napoleon maintained that he had conquered the greater part of Europe, because the enemy didn't know the value of five min utes. If we hope to attain the same laurels in the field of labor we must keep our powder dry and know how to appreciate the value of every minute. The successful handling of these cases depends largely on the ability of the physician to properly classify them, as no method of treatment can be suggested that would be suitable for all cases. The advances in the treatment of these cases have fant mortality. If the child is viable, or if been with the object of diminishing the insevere hemorrhage has occurred, labor should be induced at once. If on the other hand, the child is not viable and there have been but slight hemorrhages and the patient can be kept in bed in a hospital, or otherwise carefully guarded, I think one is justifiable in temporizing, providing that the patient's friends, when advised of the nature of the case, are satisfied or desirous that should a course should be pursued. If the patient is a primipara and the cervix will admit only one finger, and the os is rigid the cervix should be drawn down with a strong tenaculum and held while the cervix and vagina are gently but firmly packed with iodoform gauze. If properly done this will usually stimulate uterine contractions and satisfactorily control the hemorrhage, and when the packing is removed in a few hours, in a vast majority of cases the os will be sufficiently dilated to admit of digital dilatation by Harris's method. If, however, the pains have become strong and regular the hemorrhage is not severe, the head or buttocks are engaged, we may safely watch and wait, never leaving the bedside of the patient. Should there be any increase of hemorrhage, the membranes should be ruptured, but if this should fail, there is no means known to the profession to compare with the bringing down of a foot to control hemorrhage. When there is severe hemorrhge or evidence that severe hemorrhage has occurred, and the cervix is fairly dilated, version by the Braxton Hick's method should be performed. Should the patient be exsanguinated or be suffering from severe shock, restoratives should be used at once, such as normal saline solution, mor |
