Contrast Betwesn Work of Gorges and Work of War By DR. CHARLES H. PARKHURST. In the, going out of General Gorgas and his associates to reclaim Serbia from the power of infectious diseases we have the chivalry of the middle ages come back to us, only in finer form. Even more than that, ft is like the going out of the Bnglish Wesleyan missionaries to Fiji 185 to redeem the Islands from the power of idolatrous cannibaliam, for it is taking their lives in their hands and con- secrating those lives to the service of hu- manity. Itis offering to give life for the sake of saving life; and. as tho scripture has it, “What can a man do more than lay down his life for his friends®” A terrible contrast between the saving work undertaken by these surgeons and the destroying work that has been in progress in Serbla and elsewhere since last August! The very contrast between the two helps us better to appreciate the beauty of the one and the damnableness of the other. It is'a white spot on a black ground, which makes the white to look whiter and the black to look blacker. Here is an opportunity for parents to instruct their children on the difference between the two kinds of herolsm—the | physical heroism that dares to be brave in killlng one's brother and the moral and Christlan heroism that dares to he brave in making one's brother alive: One 18 the herolsm of a dog that is not afraid | to go Into a dog fight, the other is the | heroism: of a man and a Christlan, who | 1s saved from cowardice by the fascina- tion of being able to render heautiful human service: Whatever the exposures to which these ; surgeons and physiclans will be subject | we have the feeling, und the justified foeling, that most of them wilk be spared to return to home and friends. There is an interesting fact, or what is said to be a fact, lylng at the foundation of so hopeful an expectation, which is this, that there is something in the attitude of mind with which a physician approaches a dangerous or contagious disease that tends to make him immune, and to ex- empt him from susceptibility to the in- fluence of that disease. Is there in the effort he puts forth in his patients’ be- | half some energy that moets and resists | the energy of destruction emanating | from the patient? Perhaps that is tho secret of the idea so often cxpressed that | one is in nq danger so long as one is not afraid. It might be lllustrated by what we know of the Hudson river that the salt- néss of the sea is able to creep omly a . little ‘way uUp-streant because met, re-| sisted and overcome by the current of | fresh water continually coming down- stream. People of unsettled morals go- -ing among debasod tribes are likely to become contaminated by the immorality | with which they come in contact That is not the case though with missionaries that go among them for the sake of re- gencrating them. There is a fixed attitude op the mis- slonary’'s part and a regenerating force emanating from him that meets and stands resistingly in the way of the counter force impinging upon him. It is the phenomenon of the Hudson river acted over in personal life. Over and above, then, all the special preventives that physicians know so well how to use when dealing with contagious dis- eases, we may well belicve that there Is in their favor a certaln sanitary energy working out from them resistingly, -‘ certain outflow of determined sanitary purpose co-operating with other and su- | perficlal agencies which operates in an | exceptional way to render them immune. o« THIS WOMAN'S _ SICKNESS Quickly Yielded To Lydia E. new Pinkham’s Vegetable TEL e ‘ Compound. oaver to the house with her dauter two | days ago so we went to se them but Ma looked at rt ot 5, s0 Pa was ridgeton, N J.;“l'lnlto&lnkyou a thousand times for the wonderful good Lydia E.
