the doctors treatment and wished
it to be so understood because
adverse criticisms had come to his
ear. The Crown Princes wife IS
Queen Victoria's daughter and
that accounts to some extent for
the English physician in the case.
1t would be pleasant to talk of
many more Of those who have
done so much to advance medicine
but time and space will only allow
the bare mention of a few other
celebrities. Both continents are
familiar with the authors Of books
on diseases Of females, Dr's Play
fair, Hewett, Hicks, Spencer,
Wells, Thornton and Barnes.
London is rich in good old sur
geons whose books are treasures
TO all medical men, such as Erick-
son, Payet the golden mouthed"
and Bryant who wrote a work
while yet a student. DR.. MCCor-
mac is a well known surgeon and
DR.. Klein famous histologist.
Among the most classical writer's
and fatherly advisers Of London
stands DR.. Fothergill. His writ
ings are read with interest in both
continents. These men are all
specialists. They keep livered
coachmen who drive them over
London in closed carriages.
Their fees are seldom less than S.
for any service and are very elastic
in their rise. Such men are gen
orally quite wealthy. Their fees
are generally graded by the
amount of practice they command
London contains about 5000
physicians. The dress is generally
mild. 1t consists Of dark mater
ial, frock coat and silk plug hat
The poor Of London are generally
treated in hospitals or clinics but
thousands are born and die with
out the aid Of a physician to hasten
either birth or death. These hos
pitfalls or clinics are the very corner
stones Of instruction to doctors
Then each department Of medicine
cultivate5 its speciality by these
and the specialists unite into de
batting societies which meet every
few weeks to exchange views anc
discuss medical questions. These
meetings are Of great interest tc
foreign doctors because at suct
are gathered the best specialists o
London and to see and hear great
men is the best known privilege.
