A pupil of the late Professor Billroth.
I'm n communication to The klcine Zei-
tung, says that the great surgeon used to
tell his young hearers in the lecture rooiE
that the two main faults of the surgeon
were n neglect of the gift Of observation
and a self satisfied delusion that they prac-
ticed IL. lie had n favorite experiment
with which he used sometimes to test the
presence or absence Of this gift In now pu-
pills. "Now, gcntlcmen," he would say,
look at me and do exactly what do. I"
He would then thrust one of his fingers
into basin OF dirty water, raise his hand
60 his mouth and stick ono'of his fingers
between his lips. All mis- hearers, as they
imagined thcreupon initiated him. "Ah,
gentlemen Blllroth would then say,
what a defect Of obscrvationl You have
not observed that put my forcfngcr into
thc dirty water and placed my second I'm
ger into my mouth. You have all placed
the samc finger in your mouth which you
rad thrust into the dirty water. i hope
you like the taste Of It." OF course N any
youth had been forewsrncd he would net
have been caught In the professors trap.
