the world in this speciality. Dr.Mc-
Kenzie has received caustic criticism
from some of the German aud Aus
trian physicians because of his
course in the Crown Princes treat
meut, but the Prince wrote note to
the press saying that both he and
his wife were satisfied with the
treatment and wished it TO be so un-
derstood 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 10 advance med
icine 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, Drs.

whose books are treasures to all
Medical men, such as jackson,
Payet the golden mouthed," and
Bryant who wrote a work while yef
a student DR. McCormac is a well!

famous histrologist. Among the
most classical writers aud f4theriy
advisers Of London stands DR..
Fothergiil. HIS writings are read
with interest in both continents.
These men are all specialists. Thry
keep livrrled cuachmeu who drive
them over London IN closed carriages.
Their fees are seldom less than 81
for any service aud are very elastic
in their rise. Such men are gener
ally quite wealthy. Their fees are
generally graded by the amount Of
practice they command. London

The dress Is generally mild. II

London are generally treated IN
hospitals or clinics bat thous lnds
are born and die without the aid of
a physician to hasten either birLh or
death. These hospitals or clinics
are the very corner stones of in
strucLion to doctors. Then each
department of medicine cultivates
its speciality 10y these and the spec
iaists unite into debating societies
which meet every few weeks TO ex-
change views and discuss medical
questions. These meetings are of
great interest To foreign doctors be-
cause at such are gathered the best
specialists of London, aud TO see
and hear great men is the best
known privilege.
