But in spite of his most earnest *forts
he did nut get on. Hia quarrel with Dr
Porter affected bis practice ; conserva-
tive people were a little shy of trusting
their health to a young man who had
opeely placed himself in opposition to
the oldest practitioner in that part of
the State. Then, Irving's manner,
which formerly had been so piessant,
was now sometimes objectionable.
There is no profession that depends so
much opuu a man's personality as that
of • physuian. He .nuat be 'always at-

wolsau, less mud less capable of ever

such talks, and they always melee as
