LOUISVILLE MEDICAL MONTHLY. 155 DR. JOSEPH M. MATHEWS.

DR ••)osF.Pll M. :\1A'IIIF.Wl> was born in 1847, and gradu:ucd in medicine Ill 1867. He trlmH:d~atcly began the practice of his pro fc~sion in his native county, where he remained, acti vely engaged in a country practice, for live years. lie then removed to Louisville and pract!ced general medicine until 1878. In that year n r . .Mathews \'isited England and studted under Allingham, the celebr:ned proctologist at St. \larks Hospital in London. After a thorough traimng under this great master, Dr. \ [athews returned to :\merica and became· the pioneer spectalist in this country of rectal diseases. He to day IS confessedly pre-eminent both as authority and practitioucr in that branch of medicine. Dr. Mathews has done much useful work and ac·hicved an cn\'iable reputation as a teacher and writer in his profes~ion, :md his cdttorials in Jfalhrt.t.r' .lfl'diral /our11al are classics in medical literatllre. His work on discasls of the rectum, which has already

reac-hed a second edition, is regarded by all physicians as :u1 authority em the special subjects of which it treats. It 1s not too much to say that Dr. ,\fathcws ranks Ji~L :tl> an orator among th~ many bnlliant and attractive speakers who have contribuLed tu the fame of our profession ; his lluent and graceful diction, easy and impn s~ive dcJi,·ery, and pointed, cogent pre­ sentatiOn of facts and arguments enable him, indetd, to "sway assemblies" with a rare and commanding inlluence. Tn addition to arduous and industrious sen·ice as a practitioner, T>r:. Mathews holds and performs the duties of many prominent positions m the medical world. lie is Pro­ fessor of Surgery of the Kentucky School of Medicine ; Yisiting Surgeon of St:;.

Recog­ nizing the fact that these nddres~es would sufficiently cover the ground of purely ~eicntific communications, so far as ad<.lresses were conccmcd, the president, Dr. :Mathews, wisely rend what lle himself denominated a "mcsJ;uge," rather than on adclrc.~s on any one mcdicnl topic, although he dealt most forcibly with plans for restricting the prevalence of tuberculous and syphilitic disease.

PRESJDi'~Xr MATHEWS' ADDRESS. The prc~:;idential address, published in this issue of the .JouuN \I.. calls for more than a passing notice. It is not for us to comment on some of the recommen. elations it contains, but others may well be noticed h<'n•. The points made as to the need of recognition of mL·dical societies that can not obtain such under present rules, and as to a more thorough canvassing o£ the profession in the interest o£ the A.SSOOIATION, are timely and well worth the consideration of its mombers uncl friends. That the .JouuN \L alone is worth more than the I Nllm pnid for membership, we trust is true, and it will be our endl'nvor to so increase its value that the fact will be even more self.evident, and that its title to rnuk as :peer to any medical journal published any­ whero wt\1 be heyond all question. To some extent t~t· .Joun-.:At, is in this respect in the hands of its con- 1rlhutors, but there is little fear of trouble from that quarter. ~l'~e pro~rai:D of the AssOCL\Tiox this year would sutlicumtlr m~tcate this, and there is no reason to look for detenoration hereafter.

- MEMBERS OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, Ladies and Gentlemen :

In assuming the duties of the presiding officer of this Associ­ ation, I must confess that it is with a feeling of great diffidence. For many years I sat at the feet of the masters in medicine, as they were wont to assemble at their annual meeting, and was content to listen only to their wise counsels, to emulate as far as I could their example, and to profit by the words of wisdom which fell from their lips. When I reflect upon the names of my predecessors who have oocupied this chair, their great achievements in medicine, the high rank to which they attained, and the good which they accomplished, it is no wonder that I assume the role with some trepidation. You will therefore permit me to offer you my very sincere thanks for the honor which you have conferred upon me. In assuming the duties as your chairman, I hope to be just to all, and if at any time my decisions should appear otherwise, please attribute it to my head rather than my heart. It pains me to look over this great body and recognize the fact that not only many of its most prominent members in the past are absent, but also that the majority of those who have served you as president have also gone to their eternal home. Let their departure remind us that we, too, must soon lay aside our armor and join the oilent majority. This thought brings me to consider for a moment: OUR NATIONAL BODY; ITS PURPOSES AND DESTINY. I imagine that when the father of this Association, the Nestor of J American medicine, called around him a few devoted friends, accom­ plished physicians and surgeons, and effected an organization to be known as the American Medical Association. that the first thought which filled their minds was the unification of the profession which they

1 loved so dearly. It was their desire, no doubt, to bring together each year the men who were laboring earnestly and honestly for the elevation of the profession; that they in conclave could impart to each other the advance that each succeeding year had brought forth in their chosen calling, and this done in order that the sick and afflicted eould be profited thereby. Sacrifices and great personal discomfort were endured by them to obtain the good; but what splendid results were accomplished by their efforts is evidenced in the assembling of this great body here to-day. I opine, too, that any thing that partook of the nature of jealousy, unfairness, or politics was deprecated by them, but to the contrary they desired that peace and good-will should always obtain. What could be more beautiful than the fruition of thi~ hope? How grand the thought that here in the mother society men of all grades, so far as education and accomplishments are concerned, be they great or small, poor or rich, the rank and file of the profession can meet on common ground and exchange views for the benefit of suffering humanity. Some must be teachers or instructors, others listeners; they each in their way contribute their mite. It may be that some member from a far­ off and sparsely-settled country has heard some truth that in its appli­ cation a life may be saved, or in return he can give an experience which may prove of incalculable benefit to his more fortunate brother. Let me impress upon you, then, that no class legislation should be indulged in by this body. Let it not be said of us that we rule without reason, or that we are a set of politicians trying to secure benefit for the few against the many, or for the many against the few, for in nowise are we a legislative body. In lieu of all this, let us receive with open arms all cho represent honesty, fair dealing, and entertain an earnest desire to elevate the standard of the medical profession, and of this Asso-

2 ciation. Let no wrangling come into our midst, but rather let peace and harmony prevail, with love to one another, as become gentlemen. SHALL WE HAVE A LOCAL HABITATION? It is to be seriously questioned whether this Association, so numer­ ically great as it is destined to be, or in truth is now, profits in any manner by its migration each year to distant parts of the Union. It can not be denied but that a mistake has been made in the past in going to cities too small to entertain it. It certainly adds no dignity to this distinguished' body to be thus traveling about, not to speak of the inconvenience occasioned to the majority of its members by the so doing. Nor is it right or proper to impose upon a local profession the expense and trouble that it takes to entertain it. If the members will give the subject careful thought and consideration, I believe that they will come to the conclusion that the Association should have a local habitation. The natural question would then be, where could such habitation be found? In the selection of the same, many things would have to be con- sidered. A city within easy reach, which offered the most attractive

advantages. Of all, the City of Washington is the best suited. The Capital of the nation, it has advantages that no other place can offer. With its great free libraries, it is the seat of learning; its magnifi­ cent Government buildings, its natural beauty, its select society, its two houses of Congress, the rendezvous of foreign representatives and diplomats, the home of the Medical Departments of the Government Army , Navy, and Marine Hospital Corps. Then, too, the idea is not far fetched that the Government, liberal always, would at some time lend the Associa­ tion a helping hand in the way of securing a suitable building in which to hold its meetings and to become the owner thereof. Again, it would be in touch with the legislative department of the Government, and it can readily be seen of what value this would be in securing much-needed

3 '--~~------~ reforms in a medical way. The Journal would here find the most suitable of all abodes: an atmosphere of refinement, education, and wealth. Its editor would all the time be on the alert, and much profit would come to the Journal from such surroundings and associations. I beg of you to g i ve this matter your most serious consideration. IMPORTANCE OF ATTENDING THE LAST DAY'S SESSION . I desire to call your attention to the importance of attending the general session on the last day of the meeting. Business of the very greatest importance always comes up for consideration on that day, and, strange to say, that often there is scarcely a quorum present. At the meeting at Denver last year less than 50 members were in attendance on the last day of the meeting. If, therefore, resolutions are rushed through on that day which displease you, it iu your own fault . Besides, if the busi ness transacted on that day comes up for consideration at the following annual meeting, it takes up time which it has no right to. Pl ease, therefore, see to it that nothing interferes with your attend­ ance on that day. CLINICS, DINNERS, ETC . It has been a noticeable fact for a long time that the clinics which are held each year during the meeting of the Association, by the l ocal profession of the city in which it happens to meet, very materi­ all y decrease the attendance at both the general sessions and of the various Sections. This should not be, and it is the duty of the proper official s of this Association to deprecate the holding of such clinics. Time and again many of the very best men of the Association have been kept away a half day, and often a whole day, from the meeting, when their counsel and presence were much needed at the different Sections, or at the meeting in general session. Need I remind you that absence of the same kind and duration is often observed by dinners to which the mem­ bers are kindly invited. This can be easily obviated. 4 THE JOURNAL. It is my painful duty to announce to you the death of Doctor John B. Hami l ton, editor of the Journal of the Association. This Associa­ tion never had a truer friend than he. Possessed of a clear- cut indi­ viduality, he was always outspoken, and what he did he at least believed to be for the best. We will miss his wise counsel in our del iberations. He made a most excellent editor of the Journal , and by his efforts it was brought up to the high standard which it occupies to- day. The Board of Trustees of the Journal, after careful consideration and dilibera­ tion, has selected Dr. Geo. H. Simmons to succeed Dr. Hamilton as editor. You are to be congratulated upon this wise selection. Dr. Simmons is not an experiment, for he has won his laurels in medi~al journalism, and already stands among his editorial friends as the peer of any. Having come up from the ranks in journalism, he is acquainted with every detail, and that he will make a good editor goes without the saying. THE MANAGEMENT OF THE JOURNAL . I trust that it will not be considered out of place if I make a suggestion or two in regard to the management of the Journal . It has been frequ~ntly urged that much appears in it that should be expurgated. In other words, that a censorship should be established and many arti­ cles withheld from publication. I desire to disagree from this senti­ ment entirely and unequivocally. The Journal is simply the mouthpiece of the Association, and if one single paper read before this body is to be refused publication, then you have viola~ed your pledge and obl igation. Any member has the inalienable right to disagree with the sentiment of any paper, and the editor is in nowise responsible for said sentiment. If a paper is good enough to be read before any Section in this Associa­ tion, it is good enough to be published in the Journal. If any action is taken, it should be by the Chairman of the Section before which the

5 paper is to be read, saying to the reader that his paper does not come up to the standard. But who will assume this responsibility? and who is to judge the judges? May it not be that a paper, although couched in bad English, might contain matter of real merit? Many articles, too, with high-sounding titles and verbiage beyond the comprehension of man may contain but little that is of worth, although written in perfect English, with deductions that would puzzle a philosopher, and which contain illustrations that would do credit to Puck. By all means let the editor improve the Journal in any way that he deems proper, but let every paper read before this Association or its Sections be published in the Journal. Let the reader select the wheat from the chaff, the good from the bad. In connection with the business interests of the Journal, I beg to make the following suggention: Let a suitable man be selected, preferably a doctor, to travel in its interest, thereby increasing the membership of the Association. This Agent, Secretary, Assistant Secretary, or whatever you may choose to call him, to solicit subscriptions for the Journal and encourage membership. He should visit the meeting of each State Society, District and County Society, besides calling on individual members of the profession. Of course, only those who are endorsed by accepted or recognized organizations can become members of this Association. There are many hundreds of worthy physicians in the United States who would readily join the Mother Society if properly approached. Many, very many of them are ignorant of the manner of becoming members. It may be urged that the salary necessary to secure such an agent would be too large to justify the employment of such. In refutation I would urge that by such individual solicitation many more would be added to the membership than would be necessary to pay said salary, and they would become permanent members. It can be said, especially to young

6 men, that the mere wearing of the button of the Association adds dignity and confidence. Then, too, it can truthfully be asserted that the Journal alone is worth more than the sum paid for membershiP• By this means I am sure that the treasury would be so increased as to enable the Journal to be the peer of any published. Besides, our ranks would be so increased as to make this Association not only the largest but the most important in all the world. THE SECRETARYSHIP. For several years there has been a heated debate, if not wrangle, at each annual meeting, in general session, over the secretaryship. This is both unseemly and undignified, and is to be much deplored. It seems to me that there is an easy solution to this matter. Let tne editor of your Journal be the secretary of the Association. The Board of Trustees has wisely insisted that he devote his whole time to the Journal. It does, therefore, appear that the secretaryship should be one of his duties. By so acting he is brought into a closer relation with the business management of the Association and with the active member­ ship of the same. He would himself be responsible for a correct report of all proceedings, and be enabled to keep them without fault. The question whether or not any addition should be made to his salary for this additional work can be determined by the Board of Trustees. Our present secretary has served us long and well, and for his services in the past the Association should, and no doubt does, feel deeply obli­ gated to him. I am sure that he would be the first one to acquiesce in any move that would enhance the business interests or the prosperity of the Association. I therefore very respectfully offer the suggestion as above stated. SOCIETIES WHICH SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED . In the last few months many good medical societies which have adopted the Code of Ethics have communicated with me through their 7 secretaries, asking how they could get recognition by this body. I have found, in many instances, that the State Society had failed to recom­ mend them, but for no particular reason. Anyway, they are debarred from recognition by this Association. In several instances I found that said societies had a greater number i11 attendance at their meet­ ings than did the State Society. I trust that something will be done it regard to this matter, in order that these good societies can obtain recognition from this Association. The appointment by your Nominating Committee of three such dis­ tinguished gentlemen to read the several addresses before this Associa- tion in general session assembled, relieves me of any duty in that line. I shall therefore content myself with employing the balance of my time in asking your consideration of a few things which are not only a menace to the public health, but also to the safety of society. Having served as a health officer for many years, my mind naturally turns into this channel. especially so when I see an opportunity to enlist the interest and co- operation of this large and influential body of physicians. TUBERCULOSIS .

It behooves this national body of A~erican physicians to t~ke some action, or at least to approve the movement to stamp out, as far as scientific effort can do so, that dread disease that kills one seventh ' of the world's population- -tuberculosis. A few days ago, May 24-27, there was held a tuberculosis congress in Berlin, international in char- acter. The Liverpool Medical Institution, one of the most important medical societies in England, has recently appointed a committee of its members "to consider what further steps can be taken for the prevention

of tuberculo~is, and for the treatment of the disease in the human subject." This committee propose to consider (1) the nature of pul-

8 '

monary tuberculosis, its communicability and preventability; (2) the provision of sanatoria; (3) the more effectual methods of controlling spread of infection, and (4) the desirability of adopting some form of notification. The eradication of bovine tuberculosis received a powerful stimulus throughout the Empire when recently Her Majesty the Queen gave orders to have killed such of her herd of Jerseys as were shown by

the tuberculin test to be infected. At the recent meeting of the French Association for the Advancement of Science, the Section of Hygiene, at the suggestion of Professor Nicholas, passed a resolution pointing out that the convection of tuber­ culosis by inhalation is only one of the modes of infection, and that a larger part of the diffusion of the disease is played by contagion through the alimentary canal, as proved experimentally and clinically, urging the necessity of taking adequate measures to insure the sterili­ zation and harmlessness of articles of food. All Europe is wide awake

to the importance of this subject. From carefully prepared statistics it is found that of the deaths from all causes between the ages of fifteen and sixty years, one third of the number are victims of tuberculosis, and that it kills four and a half times as many people as do smallpox, scarlet fever, typhoid fever, and diphtheria combined. It is estimated that at any given time in Germany alone 1,300,000 persons are affected with tuberculosis, and Osler says that 1,200,000 in America have t he disease at all times. One in every fifty persons has the disease. Over 13,000 die of tuberculosis in the State of New York every year. In every other American city the propor­ tion of deaths is equally as great. So important has this subject I become that at a recent convention held in England to consider the ques­ tion, "How to Prevent the Spread of Consumption," the Crown was repre­ sented by His Royal Highness, the Prince of , who presided over the

9 meeting. Great encouragement was given the move by Royal ty and all others. The medical profession all over the worl d is deeply interested in the subjcet, the aid by governments solicited, and every effort is being made to suppress this formidable disease. Since the germ which causes it is known, and its habitat, the condition under which it thrives, and that the disease is contagious, it does appear but rational to assume that it not only can be prevented by precautionary measures, but that it can be cured by proper environment and treatment . It is equally true that, even in the best of homes, the treatment usually accorded the patient is nil in effect and accomplishes nothing. Some­ thing more than this must be done if we expect to materially decrease the death-rate. What is that something? Detweiler believes that over twenty-four per cent of cases of tuberculosis are curable; Meisen, twenty- seven per cent; Braymer, twenty- one and one- half per cent. And this under ordinary climatic and hygienic treatment. A much higher percentage of recoveries could be recorded if a real systematic and scientific treatment could be afforded these patients. Such a course can be instituted only in well- ordered and equipped hospitals designed especially for such inmates. In regard to the extent of the disease, I

can do no better than to use the words of Prof. Hirs~h . He says, "It is emphatically a disease of all times, all countries , and all races. No climate, no latitude, no occupation, no combination of favoring circum­ ' stances forms an infallible safeguard against the onset of tuberculosis, however such conditions may mitigate its ravages or retard its progress. Like typhoid fever, phthisin dogs the steps of man wherever he may be found, and claims its victims among every age, class, and race. " In answer to the question, What is to be done to prevent its progress? I

would suggest a remedy ~n using the words of a resolution adopted at the International Congress of Hygiene in Brussels, in 1897: "The hospitali- 10 zation of tuberculosis is ut·gent and will not long be withheld." In

several large cities in the United States an earnest effort has already been made to carry this thought into practical utilization, especially so in Chicago and New York. It can readily be seen, however, that but a comparative few out of this great number of afflicted can be accommo­ dated in this manner. A country or State that is ever on the alert to prevent the landing of a foreign foe, or a hostile army, surely should

ever be ready to aid in the suppression of a foe to the huma~ race ten times more destructive to human life than the invasion of the country by an army of great size armed with the most improved rifles. Let us, then, in the name of humanity, invoke aid from the government of this very humane people, in order to help put down and thoroughly conquer this foe. During the last session of the New York Legislature a report of the Senate Committee appointed to investigate the advisability of establishing a State hospital for the cure of consumptives was made . Many reasons for the same were presented in the repJrt. Among other things, the report read: "Tuberculosis is one of the most fatal dis­ eases that the human race has to eombat at the present day; its yearly victims inflict a serious and unnecessary drain upon the resources of the State. Unnecessary because it is now demonstrated beyond question that by the adoption of prop9r preventive measures a large proportion of those who suffer from this disease may be saved. This is proven not only by the revelations of sciettce, but by the results which have been obtained in the practical application of the means to prevent the spread of the disease. A large proportion of the cases brought under treatment have been cured, and so many have so improved as to be re­ stored to the producing class. It is als' shown that the efforts of the Boards of Health in this and other States, as well as in other countries,

11 have so far succeeded in reducing the percentage of deaths from tuber­ culosis by the measures adopted that there is good ground for assuming that with wise laws properly enforced this disease may be almost wholly obliteratad." Is it too much, then, to suggest that this Asuociation, representing the most advanced thought of the medical profession of America, take action in this important matter? I would most respect­ fully urge you to appoint a committee to prepare a careful report on this subject and present it to the next Congress sitting, beseeching that this Government erect, prepare, or donate hospitals or reserva­ tions in and at which the poor or others shall receive treatment for the cure of con;umption. Also that it be impressed upon State Boards of Health in the various States the advisability of the respective States erecting similar institutions. The blind, the deaf, the insane, the feeble- minded and other classes are so provided for, why nat these? They are not able to care for themselves, and they are a menace to the public health. It must be confessed that in so far as the prevention of the disease is concerned, that must come from the education of the people to the facts . The best way to accomplish this I leave to you. THE ANTI - VACCINATIQNISTS . It may appear superfluous to ask that you consider, in the proper way, a rebuke to a certain class that is doing much to endanger the lives of our citizens, and whose meddling ways are giving the Health Boards of the various States much annoyance. I allude to the anti­ vaccinationists, encouraged as they are by an Anti-Vaccination Society. It seems strange and beyond belief that citizens of respectability and supposed intelligence should band themselves together to prevent a means of saving human life. But "'tis true, and pity ' tis, ' tis true. " If these misguided people would only inform themselves of facts , patent to every reader of history, they might at l east stop long enough in their mad career to think. 12 The true condition is so well d3scribed by Dr. Seys in a recent paper that I beg to quote from him: "Well has smallpox been termed 'the

mo~t terrible of all the ministers of death. ' It dates back to the early history of our race, but from whence it came no man can say. Then all expected to have it, and but few escaped. No respecter of persons, it was found in the palace and in the hovel, in the fair green fields and in the foul dungeon. All ages yielded to its noisome touch, and no season of the year was free from its deadly breath. One third of all children born to the daughters of men died before they were a year old because of this pestilence, Dnd on9 half before the age of five. In epidemic years it is estimated to have caused fifty per cent of all deaths in Europe, and in non-epidemic years not less than ten per cent. Two thirds of the pauper blind in Europe of that day looked no more on the faces of their loved ones or the blue sky, nor saw the light of day, because of its blighting visitation. In Mexico it is said in a few years to have caused the death of three and a half millions of people. Iceland and Greenland were almost depopulated by it, and it has well­ nigh rendered extinct some of our Indian tribes. It was the all- important factor in keeping down the population of Europe. Nor would the task be a difficult one to-day, should we desire to do so, to bring back the horrors of but a few years ago." We may rest in peace and disregard the efforts of these half mad people, but we must not close our eyes to the fact that, by their loud cry, aided by political influence given often for self- aggrandizement, they are endangering the lives in every community. So far has this thing gone, that the vaccination law in England has but recently been amended so that only those who may desire shall be vaccinated. This is a menace to the public health and smacks of the dark ages. I again

resp~ctfully ask that you give to the medical profession in America an 13

• endorsement of their views in a resolution sustaining compulsory vac­ cination. The safety of the people from this most direful malady demands it.

A CRUSCADE AGAINST SYPHILIS. An International Medical Conference will be held at Brussels, Belgium, in the month of September next, known as The International Conference for the Prevention of Syphilis. A statement of this fact has been sent the Honorable Secretary of State of the United States, through the Belgium Minister at Washington, with request that he appoint a delegation to attend this important conference. The Honorable Secretary in turn requested me, as your presiding officer, to name said delegation. This I have already done, as the call was for immediate action. In the preamble which accompanies this notice the following language is used:

"The increa~ing propagation of syphilis and venereal diseases has become a serious danger to society, and it is important while there is still time to take efficient measures to stop the progress of this scourge. The spread of the evil is an incontestable fact: on this point all physicians who are in a position to know or observe its progress are agreed. The number of victims increases daily, and a serious consider­ ation is that this malady is penetrating into strata of society where it was formerly rarely seen. Scarcely any attempt hitherto has been made to check this social evil, or rather while some attempts have been made, without concerted action, without preconceived plans, and without an international understanding to success." What can be said of Belgium in this regard can be said of the United States. Perhaps the ratio of cases is not so large, but this matters little. It is estimated that there are in this country between six and seven million people who are afflicted in one way or another with 14 syphilis. A distinguished French authority says that one man in every four has the disease in France. When we consider that by this the very foundation of society is shaken, our families imperiled, the consti­ tutions of our youths undermined, our women wrecked, it is high time, as this official says, that we _turn our attention to the subject. The warning should be in words that the most illiterate man or woman could understand, and it should emanate from sources and places that would reach the greatest number. Our false modesty in the past has been too pronounced, and has prevented us from giving to the common people valuable information; so we are in a measure, as a profession, much to blame for the great spread of this blighting curse. The time has arrived when we as physician, singly or when in con­ vention assembled, should throw aside all restraint when dealing with this vital quest1on. Fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, and all others should be informed, and this information should be in the plainest language. The minister and the priest should aid the doctor in this praiseworthy undertaking. The doctrine should be inculcated into the young of both sexes, that freedom from this awful condition should exist before the marriage relation is thought of. Upon this declaration rests the hope of the State, as well as of families, for neither good soldiers, good citizens, nor good husbands, with tainted blood can be had. Please permit me to suggest that a committee be ' appointed from this body, to report at the next annual meeting, on the subject: »What is the Best Means of Preventing the Spread of

Syphilis?" A PLEA FOR HA.RMONY. In conclusion, let me beg of you that this meeting be one of perfect harmony and peace. Let nothing of an acrimonious nature be 15 indulged in, but rather let your deliberations be characteriZed by patience, love for each other, and a desire to ennoble the profession t o wldch you belong. For are we not brothers indeed, fighting for a c ommon oause--the obliteration of the common enemy, disease? May your f utur e life, each and all of you, be one of peace and perfect happiness; and may God grant to all a long life filled with good deeds. If fate should decree that any one of you should pass away before we meet again, may you find eternal rest in "God's next country. " 16
