THE FAMILY DOCTOR. -« " I am glad," said an elderly woman recently," that I have lived no later than ohis generation for one reason at least. I .have known and valued a personago that my children's children are likely never to encounter— the family physician: We are becoming such a race of specialists that this representative of the profession must soon disappear. In my daughter's home at one time last winter two doctors visited the houso daily attending herself and one of her children for 'special' complaints, and another child went three times a week to a third doctor for more treatment of another sort." "I have always pinned my faith to one physician; ha has been my stay and support through the needs of thirty years of family life, and I should have thought the ill serious indeed that was beyond his skill. " I appreciate tho causes and necessity for the new condition of things, and realize that the science of medicine has outgrown any onn m»n, and that to know everything of even one branch of healing cannot bo accomplished in a lifetime, but I still deplore the vanishing family physician, and I am glad, as I said, that I did not have to do without him." C AN A WOMAN"REFORM A MAN. 4 I would not advise any woman to marry a man with tho idea of reforming him, writes Ella Wheeler Wilcox in the Ladies' Home Journal . — When a woman succeeds in reforming him it is beennse his spiritual nature ia influenced by her. The very same influence— patience, devotion, and self-sacrifice — would not have effected a reform in a man whose higher nature was less developed. I believe that each one of ua is connected with divinity by » spark of light within. Perhaps the man within whom the spark" is very small and feeMe may conceive a mad inffttuation for some woman who believes she cm reform him through this love. But if he is merely infatuated with a woman in whom tho divine woman is feeble", hi-s reformation is liable to bo on an unstable foundation. The man who has folc the divine within the woman appealing to his bitter nature, who has felt the holy 3park within his soul fanned into a hrger fktne by her- influence, who has folt her spiritual influence above her physical charms, that man may be reformed, although his past may have been worse than that of the prodigal son.";j 5 BUOHEYE ' ALWAYS AHEAD.
