THE Off
OF A KING*
'WHY THE F' YERCIANS COULD
NOT t CURE IT.
asmamommom.ponim.
Rev. Dr. Talmage Shows the Mistake of
Shutting oot Gad From the Realm of
Pharmacy and Therapeutics -A Benedic-
tion for Doctors
NOW York, . J ne 8. -It is net- often
tbat men of one profession have mach
encouragement-fer men of another pro -
tendon, but this ternaon, prepared by Dr.
Talmage, contains enthusiastic words of
a clergyman to Physicians. The text is It
Chronicles xvi, 1'2; 18, "And Asa, in the
thirty and ninth year of -his reign, was
diseased in his feet until his disease was
exceeding great; yet in his 'disease he
sought not to the Lord, but to the phy-
sioians. And Asa slept with his fathers."
At this season oi the year, whenmedi-
cal colleges of aII schools of medicine are
giving diplomas to young dootors, and at
the capital and - in many of the cities
medical associations are assembling to
;consult about the advancensent of the in-
terests of their profession, I feel this die-
ceuree is appropriate.
In my text is King Asa with the gout.
High living and no exercise have vitiated
his blood,and my text presents him with
his inflamed and bandaged feet on an
ottoman. In d fiance of God, whom he
hated, he sends for certain conjurors or
quacks. They come and give him all
sorts of lotions and panaceas. They bleed
him. They swezit him. They manipluate
him. They blister him. They poultice
They out him. They kill him. He was
him. They sear him. They drug him.
only a young roan, and had a disease
which, though' very painful, seldom
proves fatal to a young man, and he
ought to have got well, but he fell a vic-
tim to charlatanry and empiricism.
"AndsAsa in the thirty and ninth year
of his reign- was diseased in ,his feet, un-
til his disease was exceedingly great; yet
in his diseasee sought not to the Lord,
but to -the ph SiCialali. And Asa slept
with his father." That is, the doctors
killed him.
In this sharp and graphic way the
Bible sets forth the truth that you have
no right to shuit God out from the realrn
of pharmacy and therapeutics. If Asa
had said: "0 iord, I am sick. Bless the
instrumental', employed for my recov-
ery 1" "Now, servant, go and get -the
best -doctor yo can find" -he would have
recovered. In other words the world
wants divinely directed physicians. There
are a great m ny such. The diplom s
• they received from the 'academies lof
medicine were nothing compared wi h
the diploma t ey received from the He
Physician of the universe on the day
when they started out and he had said to
them: "Go heal the sick, and oast out.
- the devils of pain, and open the blind
eyes, and unstop the deaf ears:" God
bless the dooters all the world over, and
let all the hospitals and dispensaries' tend
infirmaries and asylums and domestic
circles of the earth respond, "Amen."
Balm in Gilead.
_
Men of the medical profession we often
meet in the hem° of distress. We shake
hands across the cradle of agonized in-
fancy. We join each other in an attempt
at solace where the paroxysm of grief
demands an anodyne as well as a prayer.
We look into ' each other's sympathetic
faoes through the dusk as the night of
death is falling in the sickroom. We do
not have to climb over any barrier to -day
in order to greet each other, for our pro-
fessions are in full sympathy. You, doc-
tor, are our first and last earthly friend.
You stand at the gates of life when we
enter this world and you stand at the
gates of death when we go out of it. In
the closing Moments of our earthly exist-
ence, when the hand of the wife, or
mother, or sister, or daughter shall hold
our right hand, it will give strength to
our dying Moments if weI,can feel the
tips of yonr 1 lingers along he pulse of
the left wrist, l We do- not ieet to -day,
as on other days, in houses of distress,
but by the pleasant altars o God, and I
propose a sermon -of helpfulness and good
cheer. As In the nursery children some-
times re-enact all the scenes of the sick-
room, so to -day you play that you are
the patient and that I am the physician,
and take my prescription just once. It
Shall be a tonic, a sedative, a dietetic, a
disinfectant, a stimulus and an anodyne
at the same time. "Is there not balm in
Gilead? Is there not a physician there?"
In the first place, I think all the medi-
cal profession.. should become Christians
because, of the debt of gratitude they owe
to God for the honor he has put upon
their calling. No other calling in all the
world, except it be that of the Christian
ministry, has received so great an honor
as yours. Christ himself was not only
preacher, but physician, surgeon, aurist,
ophthalmologist, and under his mighty
power optic and studitory nerve thrilled
with light and sound,and catalepsy arose
from its fit, and the club foot was
straightened, and anchylosis went out of
the stiffened tendons, and the foaming
manaie became placid as a child, and the
streets of Jerusalem became an extem-
porized hospital crowded with convales-
cent victims of casualty and invalidism.
All ages have woven the garland for the
doctor's brow. Homer said s -
.A. wise physician, skilled, our wounds
to heal, 1
Is more than armies to the public , weal.
_
Cicero said: "There is nothing in
which men se approaoh the gods a* when
they try to gxve health to other linen."
Charles IX Made proclamation that all
the Protestants in France should be put
to death on 1St. Bartholomew's day, but
made one exaeption, and that the case of
Pare, the father of French surgery. The
battlefields of the American Revolution
welcomed Drs. Mercer and Warren' and
Rush. Whea the Freneh army was en-
tirely demoralized at fear of the plague,
the leading siurgeon of that army inocas-
f)
lated himsel with the plague to show
the soldiers there was,no contagion in it,
and their courage rose. and. they went
on to conflict. God has honored this pro-
fession all the way through. Oh, the ad-
vancement from the day when Hippo-
crates tried to cure the great Pericles
with hellebere and flaxseed poultices
down to far later centuries when Haller
announced t e theory of respiration, and
H ,
Iv
Harvey the o ulation of the blodo, and
Asceli the u a of the lynipathio vessels,
and Jenner lialked the worst disease that
ever scourd Europe, and Sydenham
developed th recuperative forces of the
physical organism, and cinchona bark
stopped the thivering agues of the world,
and Sir Ash ey Cooper, and Abernethy.
11
and Houck, and Romey.n, and °Macon',
and Valentine Mott of the generation
just past honored God, and fought back
death with their keen scalpels. ,
Heroes ef Medicine.
If we who are laymen in medicine
would unde tend what the medical pro-
fession has a complished for the insane,
let us look into the dungeons Where the
poor creatures used to be incarcerated.

hero of medicine, -went on lighting for
vaceinatIon until it has been eatimated
that that one doctor' in 50 years has saved
more lives than all the battles of any one
century destroyed!
Passing along the streets of Edinburgh
a,few weeks after the death of Sir James
Y. Simpson, I ea* the photograph of the
doctor in an the windoivs of the shops
and stores, and. well might that photo-
graph be 'put in Avery, window, for he
first used chloroform aS an anassthetio
agent. In other _days they tried to dull
human pain by the hasheesh of the Arabs
and the madrepore of he Roman and
the Greek: But it was eft to Dr. James
Simpson to Introduce ehloroform as an
anmsthetio. :Alas for the writhing sub-
jects of nurgery in other centuries!
Blessed be God for that wit sponge or
vial in the hand, of the operating sur-
geon in the akinical department .of the
medical-cellege, or in the sickroom of the
domestics circle; . or on the battlefield
amid thousads of amputations.
Napoleon after a battle rode along the
line and. saw under a ree, standing in
the:snow, Larrey the e rgeon, operating
iision the wounded. NaPoleon passed on
and 24 hours afterward:. came along the
same place, and he saw the same surgeon
operating in the same place, and he had.
not left it. Alas for the battlefields with-
out chloform. But now the soldier boy
takes a few breaths from the sponge and
forgets all the pang of the gunshot frac-
ture, and while the surgeons of the field
hospital are standing around him he lies
there dreaming of home and mother and
heaven. No more parents[ standing around
a suffering ohild, struggling to get away
_from the sharp instrument, but Mild
slumber instead sif excruciation, and the
child wakes up and Hays: "Father,
what's the matter? What's the doctor
here to -day for?" Oh, blessed be God for
James Y. Simpson and the heaven dle-
scended mercies of chloroform. -
. Public: Hygiene. '
The medical profession. steps into the
courtroom and after 'conflicting witnesses
have left everything in a fog, by. chemi-
cal analyses shows the guilt or innocence
of the prisoner, as by mathematcal de-
monstration, thus adding honors to medi-
cal jurisprudence. , .
This profession has One wonders for
publio hygiene! How often they have
stead between this nation and Asiatic
cholera, and the yellow fever! The
raonuments in Greenwood. and Mount
Auburn- and Laurel Hill tell something
of -the history of thosemen who stood
face tceface with pestilette in southern
cities, until, :staggerin in their own i
• sickness, they stumbled cross the corpses
of those whom they had 'come to save.
This profession has .been the successful
advooate of ventilation, Sewerage, drain-
age and fumigation, until theinsenti-
mente were well expressed by Lord
Palmerston when he said to the English
nation at the time a fast had been pro-
claimed to keep off a great pestilence:
"Clean your street e or death will ravage,
notwithstanding all the[ prayers of this
nation. Clean your streets, and call
on God for help." .
See what this profession has done for
human longevity.- There was such a fear-
ful .subtraction from human life that
there was a prospect that within a fete
centuries thin world should be left almost
inhabitantless. Adam etarted with a
'whole eternity of earthly,existence before
him, but he cut off the most of it and
only comparatively few years were lel t-.
only 700 years of life, and then 500, and
then 400, and than 200, and then 100,
and then 50, and then the average of
human life came . to 10, and then it
dropped to 18. But medical science came
in, and since thei sixteenth century the
average of "mina's life continues to rise
until the average' of human life will be
60, and it will be 60, and it will be 70,
and a man will have no right to die be-
fore 90, and the prophecy a Isaiah will
be literally fulfilled, "And the child shall
die 100 years old." Tho millennium for
the souls of men will be the millennium
for the bodies of men. Sin done, disease
will be done -the clergyman and the
physician getting through with their
work at the same time. 1
g The Dispensaries.
But it seems to me that the most
beautiful benediction of the medical pro-
fession -has been dropped Upon the poor. •
No excuse now for any one's not having
Scientific attendance. - Dispensaries and
infirmaries everywhere under the control
of the best doctors, some of then t poorly
paid, some of them not Paid at all. A
half starved woman comes' out from the
low tenement house into the dispensary
and u.nwsraps the rags from her babe, a
bundle of ulcers and rheum and pustules
and over that little sufferer bends the
accumulated wisdom of , the ages from
2Escu1aplus down to last week's autopsy.
In one dispensary in one year 150,000
prescriptions were Issued. Why do I show
you what God has allowed this profession '
to do? Is it to stir up your vanity? Oh,
no. The day has gone by for pompous
doctors, with conspicuous' gold headed
canes and powdered wige, which were the
accompaniment in the days when the
b srber used to carry through the streets
of London Dr. - Brockeleby's wig,- to the
admiration and awe of the people, saying:
"Make way. Here comes Dr. Brockelsby's
wig." No, I announce these things not
only to increase the appreCiation of lay-
men in regard to the work of physicians,
but to stir in the hearts of the men of
the medical profession a feeling of grati-
tude to God that they have been allowed
to put their hand to such a magnifieent
work and that they have been called into
such. illustrious company. Have you
never felt a spirit of gratitude for this
opportunity? Do you not feel thankful
new? Then I am afraid, doctor, you are
not a Christian, and that the old proverb
which Christ quoted in hie sermon may
,be appropriate to you, "Physician, heal
thyself." : .
. Another reason why I think the medi-
cal profession ought to be Christians is '
because there are so many 'trials and an-
noyances in that profession that need
positive Christian solace. , I know you
have the gratitude of a great many good
people, and I know it mist be a grand
thing to while intelligently through the
avenues of human life and with anatomic
skill polio retried.t on the terms and
fibers whioN cross and recreate this won-

though it be the very triumph of aroh
and plinth and abacus. But how many
annoyances and trials. the inedloal pro.- .
fusion have! Dr. Rush need to aay, tit
his valedictory addresses to the etudents
of the medical college. "Young gentle-
• men, have two pockets -a small and a
big pocket; a small pocket in which to
put your fees, a large pocket in which to
put your annoyances" . .
A Doctor's Sacrifices.
In the:first place, the physician has no
Sabbath, Busy merchantand lawyers.
and mechanics cannot afford to be Melt
during the itecular week, and so they
nurse themselves • along . with lozenges
iind horehound ;candy until Sabbath
morning comes, and then they say, J1
nrinit have eedootor." And that voile the
Sabbath morning church service for the
physician. Besides that, there are a great'
many men who dine but once a week
with their familieg. During the secular
days they take a hasty laugh at the
restaurant, and on the Sabbath they
make up for their six days' abstinence by
especial gormandizing, which before
night makes their amazed digestive
organs cry out for a doctor. And that
spoils the evening churolvservice for the
physician. ,
T en they are annoyed by people- corn-
ing oo late. Men wait until the last
fortress of pbysical strength is taken and
death has dug around it the trench of
the grave, and then they run for the deo.
tor. The slight fever which might have
been cured with a footbath has become
virulent typhus, and the backing cough,
killing pneumonia. As though a captain
should sink his ship off Amagansett, and
then put ashore in a yawl and then come
to New York to a marine Oise and
want to get his vessel insured. Too late
for the ship, too late feiathe patient.
Then there are mSny who always.
blame the doctor becaute the people die,
forgetting the Divine enactment, "It is
appointed unto all men once to die,"
The father in medicine who announced,
the fact that he had discovered the art
by which to make men t in this World i
immortal himself died at 47 years °tags), 1
showing that immortality was less than
half a century for him. Oh, how easy it
- is, when people die,to cry out, "Malprac-
tice." Then the physician must bear
with: all the whims, and the sophistries,
and the deceptions, and the stratagehno
and the irritations of the shattered nerves
and the beclouded brains of women, and
more especially of men, who never know
how gracefully to be sick, and who with
their salivated mouth curse the doctor,
giving him his dues as they say -about
the only dues he will in that case collect.
The last bill that is paid is the doctor's
bill. It seems so incoherent • for a re-
stored patient, with ruddy cheeks and
rotund form, to be bothered with a bill
charging him for old calomel and jalap.
The physicians of this country do more
missionary work without charge than
all the other professions put together.
From the concert room, from the merry
party, from the comfortable couch on a
cold night, when the thermometer is 6
degrees below zero, the doctor must go
right avtay; he always must go right
away. To keep up under this nervous
strain th go through this night work, to
bear all thee° annoyances, many physi-
_clans have resorted to strong drink and
perished. Others have appealed to God
for sympathy and help and have lived.
Which were the wise doctors, judge yet.

Piety and Medical Skill.
Again, the medical profession ought
' to be Christian .because there are pro-
feesional exigencies when they need God.
Asa';s destruction by unblessed physi-
cians was a warning. There aye awful
crises in every medical practice when a
dootor ought to know how to pray. All
the hosts of ills will sometimes hurl
themselves on the weak points of the
physicalorganism, or with equal ferocity
will assault the entire line of suscepti-
bility to suffering. The nett dose of
medicine will decide whether or not 'the

never go there again. He has -written his
last prescription for the alleviation of
•human pain. The people will run up his
front steps and inquire, "Hew Is the
doctor to -clay?" All the sympathies of
the neighborhood will be aroused, and
there will be many prayers that he who
has been, so kind to the sick may be com-
forted in his last'pang. It is all over
now. In two or three days, his conval-
escent patients, with shawls wrapped
around them, will come to the front win-
dow and look out at the passing hearse,
and the poor of the city, brefooted and
bareheaded, will stand o the street
corner, saying, "Oh, how ood he was
to us all!" But on the othe side of the
river of death some of his old patients,
who are forever cured, will come out to
welcome him, and the Physician of hea-
ven, with looks as white as snow, aecord-
ing to the apocalyptic vision, 'will come
out and say: "Come in, come in. II was
sick and ye visited me!"-.
Boofs on American Buildings.
We are all affected in different ways
by color and form, harmony and discord,
the beautiful and the ugly. Experiments
have proved that certain colors have the
power te induce a temporary insanity,
froth which relief is only obtained by the
use of another color -as, -an instance,
green, the most reposeful of all the colors
In neture. Discord in music excites
irritability. Bad proportions in architec-
ture depress the spirits, although no
scientific experiments have been made to
prove the fact, none, perhaps, being
thought necessary, for a depression of
al:delta has assailed us all of late in look-
ing at certain new buildings recently
erected among us.
Each of these has its distinct virtues
and faults, but there is one fault* none
of them miss -the fault of a bad roof
and hideous sky lines. From the park
you get a glimpse of an imposing eite-of
a costly structure that might be a source
of inspiration. But a great white pile is
surmounted by a red roof, and that,
again, is topped by a white dome. One
iS distracted, depressed and disappointed
beyond words, .A gray stone armory on
another fine site has a roof that is like a
silly impertinence. A new mausoleum,
placed' as no other building among us
has ever been placed, has sins in ;the way
of sky lines that are not to be detcribed.
None of these roofs sinsgeat anything
in the way of utility, and as part of a
decorative whole they are failures. Is it,
as we wondered at that dinner the other
night, that our climate and our social
conditions have never made it necessary
for us to use the tops of our houses ex-
cept as storerooms and garrets, and that
therefore the art of architecture, which
is an adaptation of the ideal to the prat" -
tial, when .confronted by a roof must
fail? For we do not, like the Moham-
medan,use our roofsfor our daily prayers
or our nightly recreation, nor yet, again,
Is it necessary for us to retire to one for
observation of our enemies.
Utility has therefore not helped us with
a suggestion, nor yet has national custom
or the exigencies of a torrid zone given
us a hint. We are, in fact, in a difficult
place, one in which only the genius of
some young architect can save us from
enonstrosity;and that genius is one which
will make of roofs a special study. --t

.
happy home shall bo broken up.' Shall t
be this medicine or that medicine? God
help the doctor. Between the five drops
and the ten drops may be the question of
life or death. - Shall it be the five or ten
drops? Be careful how you put that knife
through those delicate portions of the
body, for if it swing out of the way the
sixth part of an inch the patienfperishes.
Under such . circumstances a physician
needs not so much consultation with
men of his own calling as he needs con-
sultation w th that God who strung the
nerves and built thecells and swung
the crimsoa tide through the arteries.
-
You wonder why the heart throbs -why
it seems to open and shut. There is no
wonder about it. It is God's hand shut-
ting, opening, Shutting, opening, on
every heart. When a man comes to dootor
the eye he ought to be in communica-
tion with him who said to the blind,
"Receive thy sight." When a, doctor
comes to treat a paralytic arm, he ought
to be in coinmunication with him who
said, "Stretch forth thy hand, and he
stretched it forth." When a man comae
to doctor 'a bad case of hemorrhage'he
needs to be in communication with him
who cured the issue of blood, saying,
"Thy faith hath.saved thee."
I do not mean to say that piety will
make up for medical skill. A bungling
doctor, confounded with -what as not a
very bad case, went into the next room
to pray. A skilled physioian Was called
in. He asked for the first praRtitioner.
"Oh;" they said, "he's in the next room
praying." "Well," said the skilled doc-
tor, "tell him to come out here and. help.
He can pray and work at the game time."
It was all in that sentence. Do the best
we can and ask God.to help us. Theta
are n� two men in all the world, it seems
to me, that so much need the grace of
God as the.minister who dootore the sick
soul and, the physician who _ prescribes
for the diseased body.
Christian Usefulness.
Another reason why the medical pro-
fession ought to be Christians is because
there opens before them suoh a grand
Geld for Christian usefulness. You see so
many people in pain, in trouble, in
bereavement. You ought to be the voice
of heaven to their souls. Old Dr. Gasherie
De Witt, a practitioner of • New York,
told me M his last days, "I always pre-
sent the religioa of Chtist toany pa-
tients, either directly or indirectly, and I
find it is almost always acceptable." Drs.
.4bercrembie and Brown of Scotland,
Drs. Hey and Fothergill of England, and
Dr. Rush of eue own country, were cele-
brated for their faithfulness in thal direc-
tion. "Oh," say the medical profession,
"that is your occupation; that belongs -to
the clergy, not to us." My brother. there
_are severe illnesses in which you will not
admit even the clergy, and *at patient's
salvation will depend uporr your- faith-
fulness. With the niediejne for the body
in one hand and the inedidine for the soul
in the other, oh, what a chime! There
Heil a Oleg Christian on 5 1.1low. You
need to hold over him gm ' tern of gm
gospel until Its light streanie goose the
pathway of the departing pilgrim; and
you need to ory into the. duff ear of
death, "Hark to the song of heaven's
welcome that comes stealing over the
waters." There lies on the Dino* a dying
sinner. Ali the morphine that you
brought with you oanpot quiet him.

Knots, the " Small Graces" of Life.
Young men should not get the idea
that to know the "small graces of life"
is useless or frivolous. What we call the
"social graces" are very valuable to a
young man. That is the great trouble
with the young fellows who are earnest:
they are too earnest, and upon all occa-
sions. They can have a high Min in life,
a lofty purpose, and yet not close them-
selves up to all social pleasures or amen-
ities. Girls feel uncomfortable, and
pardonably so, when they go to a con-
cert or any other form of entertainment
with a young man who constantly
makes mistakes in little things. The
small rules ;and laws which must be
observed on all social occasiOns are not
to be frowned down; they are important,
and a ydung fellow makes a great mis-
take when he considers. them beneath
him or unworthy of his attention. -

The Speed of Beasts.
For a [short distance, a lion or a tiger
can outrun a man, and can equal the
speed of a fast horse, but they lose their
wind at the end of half a mile at the
most, They.have little endurance, and
are remarkably' weak tn ling-pewer.
Their strength Is the kind which is clop -
able of a tertifio effort for a shoet tline

about which her hearers were ,doubtful,
when she cried ben to John, her husband e
