Who can resist sucii a winning comb^tipji? Surely not I.
fariefceCtt kfw! Today let us <t$ke up 4he science of medicine, which was in
vented in 1066 by a Greek named Hippocrates. He soon gathered aromid 'him a group of devoted disciples whom he called ^doctors." The reason he called them "doctors" was that they Spent all thfeir time sitting around the dock and shooting the breeze. In truth, there was little else for them to do because disease was not invented until 1477.
After that, doctors became very busy, but it-must be admitted that their knowledge of medicine was lamentably meagre. They knew only one treatment—a change of climate. For example, a French doctor would send all his patients to Switzerland. A Swiss doctor, on the other hand, would send all his patients to France. By 1789 the entire population of France was living in Switzerland, and vice versa. This later became known-as the Black Tom Explosion.
Not until 1924 did medicine, as we know it, come into being. In that year in the little Bavarian village of Pago-Pago an elderly physician named Winko Sigafoos discovered the hot water bottle. He v£{is, of course, burned as a witch, but his son Lydia, disguised as a linotype, made his way to America where he invented the Mayo Brothers.
Medicine, as it is taught at your very own college, can be divided roughly into two classifications. Tliere is internal medicine, which is the treatment of interns, and external medicine, which is the treatment of extems.
Diseases also fall into two-broad categories—chronic and acute. Chronic disease is, of course, inflannmation of the chron, which can be mighty painfuf, believe you me! Last summer my cousin Haskell was stricken with a chron attack while he was out picking up tinfoil, and it was months before the wretched boy could straighten up. In fact, even after he was cu*ed, Haskell continned to walk around bent over double. This went on for several years before Dr. Caligari, the lovable old country practitioner who treats Haskell, discovered that Haskell had his trousers buttoned to his vest.
Two yeara ago HaskeU had Addison's disease. (Addison, curiously enough, had Haskell s.) Poor Haskell catches everything that comes along. Lovable-old Dr. Caligari once said to him, "Jdon, f guess you are what they call a natural bom catcher."
"The joke is on you. Doe," replied Haskell. "I am a thwd basemen." He thereupon fell into such a fit of giggling that the doctor had to put hhn under sedation, where be is to this day.
But I digress. We were discussing medicine. I have now told you all I can; the rest is up to you. Go over to your med school and poke around. Bring popcorn and watch an operatioa. X-ray each other. Contribute to the lx>ne l>ank . . . And remember, medicine can be fun! • I«M. MMwuhi—
