DOCTORS TALKING.
The sixty-third annual meeting of the
British Medical Association opened in
London on Tuesday Among the inter-
esting subjects under discussion was
that of tState-aided versus Voluntary
Hospitals" DR.. knowsley Sibley read a
paper on the subject yesterday. He
contended that the chief evils of the
voluntary system are extravaganza, the
difficulty of obtaining funds, overcrowd-
ing ard the abuse of the system by pa
tients able to pay. In conclusion he
said that the system was decidedly in
ferior to the State control system. He
held that hospital doctors ought to be
paid by the State. The motion was
well supported. but was rejected by a

The 'Pall Mall Gazette" has had an
interview with DIR. Cornelius Herr at
Bournemouth. The doctor is worn with
anxiety and pain and is clearly dying.
He declared in broken utteranees that

patented and developed. The gtst of the
invention is an enormous improvement in
