human hand and foot are still required,
though their labor Is reduced But It is
obvious that the next step in the course

Of electricity as motor il once it can

Surgery is science which seems des-
tined to benefit largely by tho progress
Of science. We Noticed the other day
the admirable use to which the telephone
had been put Tor purposes Of ausculta-
ton, and for the diagnosis OF throat and
lung diseases, where the patient could
not visit the doctor. Here is a field of
wide promise for the scientist. The
tendency Of medical and surgical science
Is toward the adoption OF specialties;men
OF the highest scientific rank will evil
IDENTIFY hereafter devote themselves to a
single organ, or to a single class of
diseases, and will deal with them exclu-
siyeIy' Such men will be unable to spare
time to travel around visiting patients,
and in many cases patients will be pn-
able to visit them. Tile telephone will
bring tho doctor to the sick mans bed
side, and with the assistance Of photo
graph and a careful record Of symptoms
from the family physician, the specialist
will beenablcd 70 diagnose and prescribe.
