WANTED UP-TO-DATE PHYSICIAN 283 



The up-to-date physician is one who recognizes 

 this new light, and serves the sick accordingly; 

 adapts the cure to the cause. He doctors the body ; 

 he doctors the mind as well. To every patient he 

 explains the nature of the disease which ails him, 

 its cause, its cure, its prevention. To society new 

 light, no less than new health. 



Not " some great thing," but all as simple as to 

 " bathe seven times in the river Jordan." 



Yet great, because simple. The new physician 

 means new, higher education. Lower grade medi- 

 cal colleges go; the higher, and still higher, 

 come. Fewer colleges, fewer physicians. One 

 physician in the New Era fills the place of five in 

 the Old. To a population of the United States, 

 25,000. The other 100,000 better serve their coun- 

 try as " the man with the hoe." 



The dawn of the New Era in sight, how long be- 

 fore its noonday? No one can tell. But come it 

 must. Evolution goes not backward; always for- 

 ward. As surely as humdrum noises gave way 

 to Miracle Cure ; Miracle Cure to Drug Cure, so 

 surely will Drug Cure give way to Nature Cure.
