As there comes n better understanding
Of the laws OF nature, and science be-
comes more and more practical, aud it's
results are brought more and more into
daily life, into business and the house,
hold, great changes are taking place in
the ways and methods OF employing these
additions TO human welfare and comfort,
and nowhere has this been more appar-
ent than in the work Of the physician and
the surgeon. In former times and up to
within a few years a doctor was n general
practitioner, physician, dentist and sur
geon; and thus, while he acquired large
2 general knowledge, he could not, by con-
ccntratng his time and talent, become
proficient in any one portion OF this enor-
nous field; but, with the immense pro-
gress OF recent years. the duties OF this
great profession have been divided, and
able, earnest and enthusiastic men have,
by devoting themselves 10 particular
branches, become wonderfully expert,
and the term Specialist" that was once
a rcproach, is now title of tho highest
honor A Specialist must Of necessity
become much more perfect and useful in
his particular branch OF science than Is
possible for even the most earnest aud
talented general practitioner. This is
rapidly becoming recognized truth by
the best minds in the profession, both
Specialist aud otherwise.
