The prevailing diseases of that period were agues and bilious fevers. These were caused from the exhalations of decaying vegetable matter, in ponds and maishes, during the summer and autumnal months. They rarely proved fatal. Home cures were the remedy. Butternut bark pills-a decoction of wild cherry burk, dogwood baik, boneset, and black aller were used freely.
Some surgically inclined pioneer was armed with an old-fashioned pair of forceps, commonly called "pulli-
cans" or "turnkeys," to extract the aching fangs of the people, with a peculiar nervous twist, almost painful to call to recollection.
Some settler in almost every neighborhood acted as professional phlebotomist; and blood-ietting was regard- ed as a sovereign remedy for many ills. It is remarkable that the process that destroys the life of an ox, should ever have been adopted as a means of prolonging human life.
About the year 1818 one or two educated physicians located within the present limits of this county. In a few years these were followed by others, and ere long, every village and township contained from one to a half dozen doctors. Among the number were to be found raany who had true professional pride and high attain- ments.
Of late years the medical profession of this county · has advanced rapidly in scientific attainment; and pub- lic sentiment is being educated to a better appreciation of the responsibilities of the true physician. This may result in elevating the educated physician to his appro- priate sphere among the people.
The earlier physicians frequently changed location, and it is now quite impossible to follow the meanderings of each. Their number has been "legion;" and the schools from which they emanated are equally varied in practice. Indeed, this county has been an open field for every species of medical theory. The pubhe have tried all.

MEDICAL SOCIETIES.
About the year 1850, a county medical society was organized, with the expectation of elevating the stand- ard of medical practice and education. The society met considerable opposition, and, after one or two years, disbanded. Its organization was beneficiai.
In April, 1864, the physicians of Ashland and other towns within the county, organized a new medical soci- ety, in order to advance the interests and usefulness of the medical profession, and the social relations and courte- sies that belong to professional gentlemen. A constitu- tion and by-laws, setting forth the object and government of the society, were adopted. The members of the so- ciety as organized were: Doctors Gustavus Oesterlin, Jacob P. Cowan, l'. HI.

HISTORY OF ASHLAND COUNTY, OHIO.
THE LEGM. PROFESSION.
Prior to the erection of Ashland county, regularly ad- mitted attorneys were few. Elias Slocum," Sterling G. Bushnell," Silas Robbins, jr., Erastus N. Gates, and J. W. Smith, of Ashland, and Nicholas M. Donaldson, of Loudonville, were pretty extensively employed in jus- tices' courts, and occasionally in the court of common pleas at Mansfield.
Since Ashland became the seat of justice for this county, the resident attorneys have been: Erastus N. Gates, James W. Smith, John S. Fulton, Bolivar W. Kel- logg, John H. McComes, William A. Hunter, Jonathan Moffitt, James Sloan, John W. Rankin, John Clark, Harvey H. Johnson, Ohio F. Jones, Willard Slocum, S. W. Shaw, J. Vincent, A. M. Fulton, Albert I. Curtis, Alexander Porter, Thomas J. Kenney, William Osborn, John W. Fry, Almer R. Campbell, A. V. Watts, S. D. Gault, J. S. Wertman, F. C. Semple, T. J. Smilie; Geo. W. Geddes, of Hayesville; Nicholas M. Donaldson, of Lou- donville; Wm. Henry, of Savannah; and, subsequently, Thomas J. Bull, of Loudonville; Amos Norris, of Or- ange; George W. Carey, of Rowsburgh; John J. Gur- ley, of Hayesville; William Cowan, of Green; Francis Kenyon, of Savannah, and john Scott, jr., of Hayesville, became practicing attorneys.
About the year 1849, William B. Allison, T. J. Ken- ny, George W. Hill, George H. Parker, William B. Mc- Cart, and Robert Beer were admitted, and, shortly after, the list was enlarged by the names of John J. Jacobs, Robert M. Campbell, C. S. Van Arnam, J. D. Stubbs, and William T. Johnston ; and has since been increased by the addition of the names of George D Smith, H. S. Knapp, I. S. Lee, J. P. Lever, John D. Jones, D. S. Sampsell, J. Hahn, John McCray, Henry McCray, By- ron Stilwell, William O. Porter, Peter S. Grosscup, and Charles Dorland.
In point of ability and learning the bar of Ashland will compare favorably with those of the surrounding counties.
The bane of the lawyer is politics. Whenever an at- torney devotes more attention to party discussions, and efforts to obtain political promotion, than to the study of the principles and practice of law, the result will soon be apparent. The politician becomes rusty and demoralived, while the industrious practitioner and legal student aiways advances in knowledge and efficiency.
No signal achievement has ever followed a profes- sional man who neglects to be a laborious and continued student. Many brilliant men have destroyed their use- fulness by want of application, and by attempting too many things at the same time.
The man of many books, ill digested, will prove to be a smatterer in all. One thing well done is worth more than many ill undertakings.
