fired the pistol. Other witnesses testified
that they had been with Southern, but that
when the fatal shot was fired their backs
were turned so that they did not know of

esting and practical discourse than any treatise
on argon helium could have been and had
behind II the weight and authority of great
surgeon and an investigator of original power.
A GREAT SURGEONS CAUTION
Nothing in this address was more character
istc than the confession Of the originator Of
the antiseptc system that while he suspected
from the beginning Of his experiments that ex-
posture to atmospheric dust might be wholly dis
ins safeguards. which rendered surgical practice
more difficult and inconvenient. While he
based his medical theories upon experimental
work. he had too great respect for his patients TO
relax any precautions for their safety. There
Is. he remarked "one golden rule for all ex
periments upon our felowmen Let the thing
tried be that which. according to our best judg
ment is the most likely to promote the welfare
of the patient: In other words. DO as you would
be done by" That was a curious example OF
cor orservatlsm in the practice of progressive in
vestigator who may Justly be said to have
created in England the modern art Of surgery.
1t was in keeping with the main contention of
his address that all real progress In surgery is
to be attributed to scientific investigation rather
than to reckless experimenting with human pa
uents The patient may profit by the scientific
knowledge of the physician. The physician s
not justified in enlarging his knowledge at the
expense and risk Of the ratent AS the first
surgeon ever elected to the presidency OF the
British Association he has left in this simple
application of the Golden Rule to medical prac
tice legacy almost valuable as his instruc-
tive and brilliant review of the recent progress
of pathology
