Physicians Notebooks.

A question Is raised and discussed
by the British Medical journal. 1t
IL. "What becomes of physicians
case bOoks?" 1t Is we'll known that
most physicians keep u careful record
of all cases, and where experts are
called In consultation there u a reg
ular daily chat which even contains
the most minute details OF the case
from the nurses or course no rela.
tiOnship Is SO private or confidential
as that of the physician, and IL Is
naturally a curious query As to what
becomes of the records In which they
set down everything In black and
white There Is one famous physi.
clan who Is known to use books with
a cover that locks, and many doctors
probably use great caution to prevent
their notes from falling Into wrong
hands The best plan IS undoubtedly
that OF tho surgeon who once year
or more consigned the record Of all
his cases to the furnace. Nowadays
few cases are published, and the con.
scientious physi ian owes II to his
patient not to keep records OF such
u private character that might be
misunderstood lying around to be
seized upon BY tho idle or curious

roads In the business world, and have

difficulty which u bright, smart girl
who has to earn her own living has
to contend against at the present
time Is the abundance Of her fellow
creatures who want "just Il little
spending money" and are willing to
accept any position for any amount
OF wages they are offered. This works
u hardship on those who have spent
time and money In ttting themselves

hardest competitors are their sisters
whose only ambition Is to have n lit

To master shorthand or typewriting
requires not only time, but hard
work, and after this Is accomplished
it is rather discOuraging to find a
