suddenly yes � and i told him what the doctor had said i hate him burst out suddenly an devil i ve done a round of the doctors here and he is the worst have you ever taken any interest in the subject of i started violently � why h he hesitated coloured only my mother saw in a newspaper that at a banquet held by the new york medical association some remarks were made in support of the of life under certain conditions i felt myself suddenly grow tense i would have liked to see that i said i have the cutting here in my pocket book � he felt in his breast pocket think not ambition wise may i see it we paused outside where it was light as day and after a momentary hesitation he gave it me it said that while the difficulties in the way of the practical application of the doctrine seemed not beyond the bounds of possibility of course it would be necessary to have the advice and approval of men of the highest scientific the city might be divided into districts and every application should be considered most carefully not merely by but by some eminent selected for the purpose and of course there should be the consent of relatives and the consent even the request of the patient himself but where all these conditions were fulfilled and where the of life was simply the of hopeless agony it would seem proper that such a patient should quietly decently modestly be allowed to end his sufferings and that such a course would be a step forward in and a step farther away from silently i gave it back to him understanding the trouble in his suddenly face much better than he supposed and then he produced another cutting which i also read it was headed medical murder and ran thus � french medical opinion has been strongly moved by a theory openly by a the certain section of medical men in the united states that in certain stages of hopeless suffering it is to hasten the patient s death the new york state medical association is stated to have given its sanction to this theory by the immense majority of french medical men the theory is as bad both and since many instances could be quoted of recovery after the case had been pronounced hopeless in a medical journal by dr french doctors record their protest against what they describe as medical murder a doctor s function they contend is always to preserve life never to it as he replaced both in his he said i don t believe in one s on other people but i may as well tell you that my mother sent me over here to find out if what you have just read about the american attitude was true i ve been to three doctors � was one � and they say it s false � that no doctor made those remarks only a minister � and that no one here would dare to entertain such an idea they laughed in my face when i offered a fee of a thousand pounds to come over and give my father an of what the doctor gives him daily not dare my god � his voice choked � i d dare fast enough if i knew how to release peacefully my dear old think not ambition wise i said he nodded gave me some dreadful details and we walked on suddenly there to me a remark of his the day before what a blessed observer you are getting you every face in the street as if you were looking for your long lost br r other and it was true i never ceased to watch for those who might be in need of tom s but hitherto had not seen one while by my very side this boy walked who had crossed the atlantic to find a doctor who gave him a stone for bread i understood now s with me that afternoon probably he thought all the english were mad on one subject � he might find them still before they had done look here i said forget it for the moment � we will talk it over some other time now let us get back and dress and dine and do a play but long after the boy had up and dined and declared that he could not see that the beautiful were any different to ours in town � that they all smiled at the while ordering the dinner and were at once as eager and unwilling to take off their long gloves i was thinking of how badly s younger brother was wanted how much work there was close to his hand crying out to be done chapter v the heavenly hills left behind me the merry go round of the where a hundred swift cars furiously upon you at the same moment a very of traffic and danger and found myself at last on s wonderful bridge for awhile i pushed forward then looked back � looked back to a scene that no poet or painter alive could re create that caught the very breath between my lips for pure rapture for tis distance enchantment to the view and far away fairy like ran a living wall of splendour as of a million caught in reaching to heaven and between me and it water and the great hollow of the town whose lights did not count � nothing counted but that with illuminated tower
