TO SUMMON THE DOCTOR.
Use Of Hominx Pigeons Is suwxe.ted
for Country Distrtctu.

Thanks, perhaps. more than to any
thing else, to the successful use of
homing pigeons by the French govern
ment, both in military and naval man
euvers- there has been a general re-
vival of interest in the subject of the
possibilities of the utilization of these
birds as means of rapid communiea-
ton between points that are for vari-
GUS reasons uneonnected by the usual
means of communication.
The Medical Record and several of
its contemporaries are urging the great
benefits that medical practitioners in
sparsely settled districts may derive
from carrier-pigeon service. The idea
seems to have been successfully in
augurated by several medical men. who
have written of their experiences.
The plan is for the doctor who is ex-
pecting a call from distant farm or
hamlet beyond telephone or telegraph
service to carry one or more homing
pigeons TO the point. with instructions
to release the feathered messenger
when his services may be required.
The possibilities OF the homing pigeon
have never been estimated fully.
