The Triumphal Chariot of Antimony. 155 



counsel, and to suffer this tempest of 

 rebuke and censure to sweep over your 

 bowed head, lest you suffer shipwreck of 

 reputation as well as of knowledge. 



In order that you may escape this 

 danger, call at once upon your sleeping 

 Master, as the disciples of Jesus called 

 upon their Lord while He slept ; invoke 

 Him with an unfeigned heart, and you 

 will be helped, and will see the wind 

 and waves obedient to His Word, while 

 your undertaking will be brought to its 

 desired close. If men would only be 

 more earnest in their endeavour to know 

 the truth, God would then give them 

 grace and wisdom, and they would in due 

 time find the precious corner-stone on 

 which the whole structure rests. Then 

 the ears of students in the schools, and 

 the heads of patients in sick-rooms, 

 would no longer be tormented with the 

 absurdities of the old system of medicine. 

 The stone-built citadel of our Art cannot 

 be so quickly destroyed by fire as a 

 dovecote or a stork's nest made of rotten 

 wood, and dried day after day by the sun.
