DIR. NJ. Mackenzie In Fortnightly Review.
If specialists did not meet a distinct
want they would soon be driven off the
field. 1t is idle to inquire whether in this
instance the demand created the supply,
or vice versa; all that w are concerned
with here is the fact that the public voice
decisively approves of the existence Of
specialists. This is convincingly demon.
strated as time goes on by the increasing
confidence which Is placed in their opinion
and advice. A striking confirmation Of
this is afforded by the cir umstance that
when medical men nave sickness in their
own families they put prejudice aside and
invoke the assistance OF the despised
specialist
In my own province II is my pleasure
and my privilege to treat a large number
of my professional brethren with whose
personal ailments or those of their wives
and children l am occupied during "a
considerab c portion of each working day.
Many other specialists are doubtless re
c~ipicnts Of the like ~indisputably sincere
form of compliment. The growing favor
with which specialism is looked on by
the public. is also fully recognized by the
young physicians. and still more bY sue
cessful general practitioners am bitious Of
emerging into the more rareied atmos
phere OF consulting work. The press Of
competition is SO fierce in the present
