MlsunrstnndlnB, some ludicrous
u cabinet officer and the chief magistrate of New York City all and some grave, frequently occr
draw the fiamo coiiclusionH and liamnier the same lesson home-that 7it
parents may not wish tncir nunds oi uie rcspoiisiniiities or parent
hood. 'It is well,' ohscrves the Philadelphia Inquirer, 'when the
President of the United States and the prelates of a great religious
hody agree upon the nature of the disease and the remedy.' While
the President deprecates a tendency to shift moral obligations on
government and institutinnnlism, it is insisted elsewhere that govern,
pient, too, has its part in effecting reform by improving unhealthy
eeonomic and industrial condition., .
"A feeling of disquiet pervades the separate messages when they
take account of conditions in the home. In their message of 'love
urn! counsel,' the Iiishops of the Episcopal church, in convention at
New Orleans, say they 'see a weakening of the tics and a loosening
of the standards of home life, due to lack of proper parental con
trol and to the absence from homes of definite religious influence.'
They say further:
" 'We see in our land lens of millions of men and women
who acknowledge no connection with religion, and, as a result '
a large proportion of our children growing up without re
ligious influence or religious teaching of any sort. Can we
fail to sec the connection between this situation and the spirit
of lawlessness, the startling increase in crimo, and especially
the increase in the number of youthful crimhuds now chal
lenging our attention.'
"And to President Cuolidge, too, it is apparent that 'there are
too many indications that the functions of parenthood are breaking
down.' Jn his address to the international convention of the Y. M.
C. A. of tho United States and Canada, in Washington, quoted in
full in the metropolitan papers, President Coolidge warns us further
that 'too many people are neglecting tho real well-being of their
children, .shifting the responsibility for their actions and turning
over supervision of their discipline and conduct to the juvenile
courts.' "

corkscrew for seven days; you sternly test it in fifty ways;
you pull the cork from n row of flasks, you pul the bungs from
n dozen casks; and if you find it tho best you've known, you
send the makers n silver bone; but if you find it a false alarm,
you send it back, and it's done no harm. You send it straight
way to Gigg & Uard, and they'll acknowledge no feelings hard;
they'll merely nuk to supply your homo with their newly pat
ented fiue'-tooth comb. You send, no money, you merely say
you'll try tho comb as the makers pray; you'll comb your whis
kers mid comb your hair, and try it out on a polar bear, and
if it isn't tho finest comb you ever used on your classic dome,
you send it back and no harm is done; but if it suits you, you
send tho inon. A million cheerful and harmless chaps are always

boast as to what miht huvo happen
ed to all tho sick cats people have con
sidered me incompetent to attend, had
people felt more confidence In my
medical skill. The jjjreat Dr. Osier
himself unquestionably had many su
periors In tho practice of medicine,
though he wan the foremost teacher
of his time. For that matter, I have
no doubt that there are many reme
dies, cures or methods of treatment or
of diaKnosl.H better than those which
wo consider tho best; 'knowledge of
which pood doctors have not imparted
to their colleajxues. In other words
a very fine doctor may be a poor
teacher, a. miserable author and no
authority at all; and vfre versa.

that Is hard as I drifted aimlessly
among these Idle thoimhts it dawned
upon me fro mthat birthplace of ideas,
tho subconscious, that the public has
never been properly appraised of the
fact thnt we are in a new era, and that
consequently nearly everybody is still
puttering along In the old. at consid
erable cost In health and money.
Tho new era Is that of asepsis, tho
aseptic era. The old era was that bf
antisepsis tho antiseptic era. !
Jtlght here it will become obvious !
to tho discerning reader though I!
am not nt nil sure there Is such a i
render that powerful interests in
perfectly good odor nre wllliiTg nnd
prepared to spend the public's Inst
loose dollar If necessary to keep the
public -hack in the antiseptic era. nnd
it Is more thnn mv Hfn ns ft tenher is
worth to even Ihdlcato or identify i
these interests. Jf you can't guess
who or what they nre, you may re- !
main there where you are dawdling. If
yon do pet tho Idea you enn readily
comprehend how the very life of nn
extensive Industry" nnd business de
pends on holding the householder in
tho antiseptic em nnd why the Inter
ests appropriate such nn enormous
amount of the householder's budget to
tho purpose of keeping him in that
ern. For, once tho householder
breaks- away and takes a think for
himself he Is pretty certain to hop
blithely forward into tho aseptic era.
nnd once arrived there ho will inevit
ably cut down ruthlessly on tho sum
he has been in the habit of squandering-
nnnunlly on mere fancies.
Several laymen have nlready heard
that tho nntlHoptic, era of surgery is
a thing of the past nnd that modern
surgery is aseptic. I want everybody
to know that tho same advance has
been made in sanitation and In house
hold practice. If I can ldnnt in your
mind a suggestion which will not only
forward your general well being but
also snvo you pood monry. it won't
matter much whether I am a success
or n failure with sick cats, you'll have
to admit I am a good teacher.
Well, before we call It a day. let's
make certain wo know what we've
just been talking about." Asepsis
means without Rerm life, without
poisoning of that character, free from
infection, a state of sterility so far ns
germ life Is concerned. Anti-sepsis
merely signifies retnrded or discour
aged perm life, n condition which bin-
tiers the growth or multiplication of
germs, or nn effort to get rid of ln-
body. nnd the majority of tho agents
which were popular iti the old era did
not greatly disturb the germs which
happened to be disporting themselves
on the surfaces or in the cavities of
the body.
This does not imply that germicidal
agents aro of no vulue in surgery, win
llatloti or household practice. ' The
first aid application of lodln or other
germicidal agent to the fresh wound is
still, tnu hest routine practice. All I
hope to convey to the greatly misguid
ed layman in this respect is the sug
gestion thnt it is' practically always
futile, if not actually harmful to at
tempt to rout germs with antiseptics.
once the germs huvo invaded the tis
sues; that Is, It is foolish to:imaglne
such agents hnve any remedial value
after Infection has taken place.
Whether antiseptics nre- worth
while In the prevention of infection di
ns prophylactics against dlseuse, is a
question to debate another time.
