Ii Is the common belief that a
surgeon must possess what is spoken
OF rs au extraordinary good nerve,
and you may perhaps doubt il you
possess this. Al the same time YOU
must bear IN mind that in the case
OF a surgeon the GOODNESS, or calm
ness which is So admirable and neces-
sary in an operation does not imply
the possession OF any remarkable per-
sonal quality, but IL is the simplest
result or a complete knowledge OF
what he is doing. 1t is rather the
natural outcome OF his accurate
familiarity OF anatomy, and his daily
habit.
A trooper would require very fine
nerve TO 20 TO a masthead, or a sailor
TO ride an unmanageable horse across
country, hut sailors confidence
aloft Is due more To matter OF habit
than TO any particular amount OF
courage. ln saying this, do not
wish TO depreciate the calmness OF
the surgeon in the face OF difficulties,
but / may tell you quite plainly that
IL you haven't enough courage TO be a
surgeon l should be very much
ashamed OF you and you would turn
out TO be very poor creature, what.
ever occupation you might follow.
Still this fact remains, and you may,
perhaps, be interested TO hear that l,
who have known many good surgeons
have never seen one who has not pos
sesscd very fine courage.
In short very good surgeon is, in
my humble opinion, very fine fellow,
and when / see (as | do see) the ex.
traordinary achievements OF modern
surgery, | am very proud OF belong
ing TO a profession which has made
life SO much more endurablc and pro.
longed TO the human race. So, posi-
bly,, the great fascination which
surgery no doubt possesses to many,
appeals more strongly TO men OF cour.
age and determination than TO those
persons OF more weakly constituted
minds, or TO those who are less yer.

Cheeky Green Goods Men.

down as far as &C." Some of the

not escaped. Senator Allison, of
