i IS A SUCCESS
(Continued from page 1)
The native doctor conies to see his
patient, the first thing he does is to
collect his fee; at least here is one
way thev are sunerior to the American
and European doctors. Next he dances
about ami screams and tries to drive
away the evil spirit. He sometimes
drives nails and red hot needles into
his patient and puts him through all
kinds of torture. Next he has a straw
man which he keeps in the room while
he goes through his performance with
his patient, this he takes outside and
burns, then the patient is supposed to
be well. Sometimes they administer
pills about the size of a gold ball.
These pills are made of herbs, ground
tree toads, hornets and snake venon.
These pills have been known to con
tain as high as seventeen differnt
materials.
After speaking of the adventures of
traveling in India. Dr. Barker dis
cussed the conditions in China. To
day China alone needs two hundred
thousand more medical men: Africa,
Egypt and Arabia are in proportion to
China. The conditions her are being
improved rapidly. Chinese men and
women are learning the are of modern
equipped hospitals.
More leprosv is found in China and
Africa than any other countries .Yel
low fever ravages the towns and also
smallpox.
In Egypt. Turkey and Arabia one
finds many new diseases. For instance
the "Fiery Serpent" which was spoken
of In the book of Genesis as the "Fiery
Plague" and which was a plague of
the children of Israel. This still is
found but the modern surgeon can
easily cure it by a simple operation.
In many of these countries the great
trouble has been with the teeth. One
dentist pulled twenty-one thousand
teeth in one year. The natives used
to think that toothache was caused
by a warm in the root and would have
their friends hammer the tooth.
In summing up the lecture Dr.
Parker epoke of the great number of
different cases found in these coun
tries. One woman had ten thousand
cases of sleeping sickness in one year
and two hundred baby case in one day.
Another doctor handled over nine hun
dred patients in one week.
The missionary societies of the
American and European countries offer
the doctors free passage over and
back if they will sign up for three
years' service. This affords the doc
tor a chance not only to practice their
profession but also to help civilize
these countries and elevate the plane
of medical science.
Dr Uatton. who Is on eye. ear. nose
and throat specialist, spoke on "Spe
cialization of Modern Medicine." He
pmnhasized the fact that a person
should not enter the medical profes
sion from the standpoint of dollars
and cents, but from the scientific side
of it.
He pointed out how medicine had
gained in the last few years. Mow
scarlet fever is being Investigated and
house where they enjoyed a big oyster
"stew." After the "stew" several of
the men gave short talks and Dr.
Barker lost bis championship of telling
medic stories. Thlsw as left undecided
tw.tT.il "Chuck" Weath. "Dutch"
Whymuller. Dave Ford and Everett
Next Dr. J. M. Patton, Junior mem
ber of the Gifford and Tatton oflicc,
was introduced. Dr. Patton was sent
in place of Dr. Jones, who was to
speak on the "Medical Man and the
Railroad," Dr. Jones being railway
surgeon for the Union Pacific Railroad
and coal mines.
the old theories are being broken. lie
showed the great value of the X-Ilay
in diagnostic uses. How a few years
ago nothing was known of yellow
fever.
N'ext he showod how by parents'
neglect so many children hated school.
That by removing a few adnoids, hav
ing an eye corrected, having the tonsils
removed the child was as bright as
any and would not be branded the
"onery kid" of town. In a few years
with the steady advancement of medi
cine the parents would learn better
and this great sin could be blotted out.
Then he showed how little the medi
cal man knew of the tonsils a few
years before. How seldom they were
correctly removed or removed at all.
How by the study of the blood vessels
in the eyes the blood of the body could
be anlyzed. If a brain pressure,
syphilis or brain ulcers were present
how they could be detected by the
blood vessels of the eye.
Next he told of the old theories of
the diseases. The ancient Egyptians
thought that the Nile was the hot bed
of all diseases. How people thought
they got disease from night air and
all such things that we know today
are absurd.
After dealing with the specialization
for sometime he spoke of the great
investigative spirit of the medkal
men. How the man with the enthu
siasm for his work was the big doc
tor of today.
Mr. Howard Grandon, '19, gave tha
Pre-Medics a couple selections on his
home-made one-stringed instrument
and Mr. C. Jones, '18, gave a couple
of readings, "The Shooting of Dan
McBrew." and "On the Road to Manda-
lay
After lecture everybody adjourned
and voted it the most successful even
ing the Pre-Medics have ever held.
This goes to show that the society Is
becoming one of the largest and most
successful in school and that they are
really doing things. It has been ar
ranged to have a series of these lec
tures by medical men of the city and
the Omaha faculty. Everybody inter
ested in the advancemnt of the medi
cal science are invited to these meetings.
