THE WINGIIA) TIMES,
WORLD FEARS SUFFERING.
bine* Advent of Aneethotice People
Are More Afraid of }''iia ,
Than Fiver.
The incident of a physician with a dis-
located shoulder going from one doctor
to another to get it aet without an an-
aesthetic alid finally seeuring the heroic
treatment at Bellevue is to -day so much
out of the ordinary that it secures liberal
apace in the newspapers, The fact that
A painful operation was performed with-
out chloroform .or ether, says the New
York Tribune, is itself thought worthy
of notice, The refusal of several physi-
cians so to perforin it is eloquent of the
state of surgical practice.
Now and then in some doctor's office
or medical museum we see a case of in-
struments which seem better fitted for
the carpenter's bench or the butcher's
block than for the surgeon's table.
There are knives as large as carvers for
cutting through quivering and sensitive
flesh with free sweep and swift stroke,
as if it were dead meat, and great' saws
for severing human bones like fire -'wood.
The sight of them is enough to make
one glad not to have lived in the old
days. It is much more comfortable to
be carved up now. If anybody doubts
that anaesthesia was the greatest bless-
ing of the nineteenth century to hu-
manity, the threat of an amputation
with these old instruments is likely to
change his opinion. Out of the football
field men now and then get joints dislo-
cated and stoically have them set with-
out ether and rush back into the scram-
ble. Battle and accident and disease
still inflict untold suffering under cir-
cumstances which no anodyne can dead-
en. But in ordinary life, for the most
part we have become so accustomed to
relief from physical pain in surgical
practice that the deliberate preference
for endurance rather than oblivion ex-
cites interest and remark. Yet only a
few years ago such endurance was a
matter of course. To -day many people
even to save their lives, would not face
the pain of old-time practice, so much
have habit and the knowledge of sur-
gical luxury affected us. Suet as it, is
impossible for him who has grown into
the life of ease and self-indulgence to
take up tho regime of early flays, when
he worked with his hands and lived on
hard fare, so it is imposible for most of
us to face pain as our fathers and moth-
ers did.
Some students of the Chinese tell us
that their remarkable endurance of pain
is not as much stoicism as lack of sen-
sitiveness. They do not feel pain as the
Caucasian does, If that be true, it is
easy to believe in great variations not
merely in self-control, but in sensory
responsiveness, Pertaps aps our people.
besides being less habituated to the
endurance of pain as a matter of course,
are also more sensitive to it, not only
mentally, but physically. The modern
nervous tension and quick responsive-
ness may lay upon the hero of to -day a
vastly greater burden than was borne
under the same suffering by the man
of an earlier time, who was not braver
or more self-contained or more the mas-
ter of his own soul, but whose physical
being did not vibrate with anything
like the same intensity under external
impulse.

Anomaly of the Tides.
'A curious fact, to which the con-
struction of the Panama canal calls
epeeist' attention, is that a great differ-
ence exists in the range of the rise and
fall of the tides between the Atlantic
and Pacific sides of the isthmus. The
mean level of the oceans is the same
on both sides, but at Colon the mean
range' from high to low water is only
about seven inches, whereas at Panama
It Is more than 12 feet. This great dif-
ference is explained by, the existence
Of a "tidal node," which prevents the
Atlantic tide from entering the Carib-
bean sea. Panama, on the other hand,
lies at one corner of the triangular area
of the North Paciflc ocean, and in areas
of that shape the range of the tide is
usually great at the corners. -Youth's

When City Folk Go Into the Country
They Want the Urban
Practitioner.
In all the sections of our common
country in which the summer boarder
or the summer cottager has struck his
roots and come to be recognized
as a factor in the economic life
of the communities in which he aesti-
vates, the question of medical attend-
ance has become burning, says the New
York Times. The country doctor nat-
urally assumed that he was to share In
the prosperity of his neighbors and
patients, the agriculturists, who "put"
their products to the summer sojourner
at from twice to ten times the local mar-
ket. VIsions of fees of $1.50 per visit, in-
stead of his customary 75 cents, began
to flit alluringly before his eyes. But he
forgot to allow for the fact that doc-
tors as well as patients might aestivate.
Not all city doctors go to Europe every
summer. The baser sort go into the
back districts of their own beloved land
as cottagers, and in their villeggiatura
keep one eye open on the main chance.
The urban patient prefers them to the
rural practitioner. We will not under-
take to say whether he is right, though
on that point we entertain a decided
opinion. At any rate, the New Yorker,
Bostonian, Philadelphian, in fact be-
trays in hit rustication a preference for
the urban practitioner. And the coun-
try doctor does not in fact, partake the
benefits of the urban Pactolus which ir-
rigates the rural purveyor of milk, eggs
and "livery." Nay, more. The very
country doctor's own rural patients in
some cases exhibit a preference for the
treatment of the visiting city practi-
tioner, Not in many cases, and not in
any case more than once, seeing that
three visits from a fashionable New •
York specialist, at city prices, would
suffice to darken with a mortgage any
farm in New Jersey or New Hampshire.
But even without this aggravation the
lot of the country doctor in the face
of the annual city influx is bard, harder
than it was before.
