Medic*. Education.
The changes of the past 23 years
In medical education have been noth-
ing short of a revolution, and yet at
a conference of medical educators In
Chicago it was stated by one delegate
that three-fourths of the graduates
were unfit to practice medicine. The
condition of medical education in this
country 30 years ago was almost be-
yond belief. There were medical col-
leges In Chicago that graduated two
classes a year In a single town in
northern Illinois nine men were prac-
ticing medicine, of whom two had di-
plomas and the rest were druggists,
ex-hospital stewards from the army
and men who had taken one course of
lectures. The Immediate result of the
enactment of the medical practice act
was the departure of 1,400 practition-
ers from the state, some of whom com-
pleted their medical studies, but most
of them practiced where there was
not so much law. At a conference in
Chicago the other day. says the Phil-
adelphia Record, Dr. Means, chairman
of the judicial council of the Associa-
tion of American Medical College*,
said that the average man admitted to
practice was deficient in knowledge
of bacteriology, chemistry, physiology
and anatomy. Fifty-eight per cent, of
the men in 25 states who fail at their
final examination pass a few weeks
later. "In the few days intervening
where do they get their knowledge*
They don't get It." They simply learn
the answers to the questions, and the
same questions are asked them at the
reexamination. Evidently the reform
of medical education, although much
has been done, is not yet complete.

OBSERVATIONS IN
OKLAHOMA
The Land of
Opportunity
Antiquities have to give way to the
needs o? the present. The Egyptian
council of ministers has approved the
plan for raising the Assuan dam
across the Nile, a change that will In-
crease by two and a half times the
amount of water that can be stored in
the irrigation reservoir. The raising
of the dam will result in the submerg
ing of the Island of Philae and the
flooding of the ruins of the temples.
The Island itaelf Is a small granite
rock about a thousand feet long and
600 feet wide. It was the scene of
the worship of the goddess Isls. Many-
pilgrims from various parts of the an-
cient world visited the shrine when
the religion of Isls was most widely
spread. The worshipers of other gods
built temples near that of Isls, so that
there appeared on the small Island a
splendid collection of examples of the
best architecture of the various pe-
riods in which they were erected.
The enlarged dam will make jiosslble
an annual increase of the cotton crop
of Egypt amounting to between |1S.-
000,000 and 120,000,000 in value.

Vaccination to Prevent Blackleg.
The Oklahoma Experiment Station
begun the free distribution of black-
leg vaccine in 1900 and has con-
tinued since that time to furnish vac-
cine free of any charge to the stock-
companled by slight swelling. The
pig rubs its nose, sniffles and shows
in various ways that the diseased
spots irritate and burn. Gradually
these diseased spots break out as
! small sores, occasionally sloughing
I out to form ulcers of considerable
size. These sores nr ulcers may oc-
cur en any part of the head and oc-
casionally they will extend over the
sides and under part of the body.
Since the disease is contagious and
spreads easily, all pigs showing any
signs of the trouble should be sepa-
rated from the healthy ones. The

general description of the symptoms

seems to indicate that the disease is
present to a consMe-able extent In
fectlon is through the dirt of the
feed lot and by means of surface wa-
ter that is frequently used for the
hogs to drink and wallow in. The
treatment for most of the intestinal
worms is simple and generally very
effective, there being a number of
remedies available. The following
are among the most common and ef-
fective of the remedies and the dose
given is for each one hundred pounds
of live weight Fluid extract of spi-
gelia and senna mixed in equal parts
in half ounce doses twice or .rtree
times a day until purging takes
place. The cedar apple may be
ground up and given in thirty grain
doses three times a day for two days
and then followed by a physic. A
mixture of powdered wormseed and
areca nut in teaspoonful doses twice
a day is recommended. Turpentine
is probably the best general remedy
to use. Give two teaspoonfuls in
milk or a small amount of slop twice
a day for two days. If a number of
pigs are to be treated they should be
