TEE DOCTOR'S DBEAMi- 

 Dr. Smith is a practitioner in one of the 

 large cities of the middle "West. He is a 

 man of good training, a classical graduate, 

 took his professional course in one of our 

 best schools, and did hospital service both 

 at home and abroad. He is a general prac- 

 titioner and keeps well posted in all that 

 he does. He makes no claim to universal 

 knowledge or skill, but is conscientious in 

 all his work, and when he meets with a case 

 needing the service of a specialist he does 

 not hesitate to call in the best help. He 

 has made a good living, demands fair fees 

 from those who are able to pay, and gives 

 much gratuitous service to the poor. He 

 is beloved by his patients, held in high 

 esteem by his confreres, and respected by 

 all who know him. He is a keen observer, 

 reads character for the most part correctly, 

 and is not easily imposed upon. While he 

 recognizes the value of his services, he is 

 not in the practise of medicine with the 

 expectation of getting rich, and his inter- 

 ests are largely humane and scientific. He 

 has deep sympathy for those whose ignor- 

 ance leads them to sin against their own 

 bodies, but he is devoid of weak sentimen- 

 tality and does not hesitate to admonish 

 and even denounce the misdeeds of his 

 patients whatever their social position. 

 During twenty years of practise in the 

 same locality he has become acquainted 

 with the vices and virtues of many families. 

 He is not looking for the coming of the 

 millenium, but he is often impatient of 

 the slow pace with which the race moves
