Grand Trunk was good on the monthly state

Gold is quoted at us 10Ad, and in strong de-

the belief that the New York drain of gold
from here will not be large. few eagles
will leave the Bank of England today The

large amount Of Japanese yen in the market,

revived rumors fom good sources in India of
possible increased import duty on silver.

once. They look at the question from
n humanitarian point of view more
h a utilitarian, and openly say
that the medical profession owes it TO
the public to be every ready to respond
to a call.
That there is a great deal of Injustice
on the part Of the public cannot be
doubted, and it is also true that if the
public would consider a physician not
as a bOunden servant, but as a profess
sional man full of duties, and never
infringe on his night leisure except in
cases of real urgency, the man of med
icine would always meet patients half
way. 1t is an error to suppose that n
doctor is compelled to consider all calls.
There is no law strictly covering the
case, while many eminent physicians
declare it TO be Il part of their religion
to regard calls, whether they bring
fees or not, as part of a bounden duty,
they as well point to the fact that a
failure to solve the problem of Just
when a physician should be required to
give his time at unreasonable hours
for nothing, has driven many persons
out of the profession.

life will have slipped away. In nine
cases out of ten the doctor Will hastily
dress, and without asking any more
questions take his medicine case and
start for the house. There he finds n
table covered with bottles and pills
and powders left by the other ply
stefan. and is told that they would have
SEN for the other doctor only he lives
so far away. OF course that sort OF
thing does not tend to make Il ply
stefan fall in love with night messages.
He finds Il case almost at his door
which was passed over his head to Il
doctor in another part of town when
the patient became Ill, but when a
crisis arises the family rushes to the
nearest doctor, and in nine cases out
of ten he is not paid for the call. After
a few dozen Of these experiences he Is
a little shy about chasing out INTO the
night on a hurry call.
The majority of doctors, however
go on the principle that n physicians
time is not his own, that he is enlisted
in the cause OF suffering humanity n
should be ready at all times to render
aid to the needy. These doctors for the
most part are the younger generation
who have not had so many hard
