William Gull as illustrating the doc.
tors maxim that it is necessary before
all else that the patient shall have con
fdence in his medical adviser.
Being called in haste to a patient un-
der the care Of very young practition-
er, Sir William found that branCy and
water was being given at intervals. with
certain other treatment. The great ply
sician carefully examined the patient
and said, Give him another spoonful
Of brandy"
He then retired to a private room
with the young doctor in charge.
1t Is a case Of SO and SO, " he said as
soon as the door was closed. You
shouldn't have given brandy on any &C
count
But. said the junior practitioner
III amazement Il thought. Sir Will
liam. that you just told the nurse to
give him another spoonful "
so did, " said the great man. be
cause we must not destroy mis- confidence
in you. or he'll never feel comfortable
or believe anything you tell him again. -
