Protest by a Medical Paper Against
Too Much Surgery.

London Hospital.
The introduction Of anesthetics, by aid Of
which the horrors of an operation are re-
duced to a mere discomfort of breathing
few times into a bag; the extended use Of
hospitals and nursing homes. which has the
result Of relieving relatives and friends or
all the trouble and all the disagreeable in
cidents of an operation, and, finally the
fact that with modern aseptic methods the
scar left by Ii is often quite trivial, have
conspired to make people regard the ordeal
with curious indifference and enter with
light heart into adventures from which
they would perhaps have shrunk had they
known little more. And where operations
are necessary all this is good. 1t has to be
admitted. however, that there Is another
side to the question.
Partly owing to the publicity given to
operative work, partly to the fact that the
successful case is apt to be by no means
the thing over" and partly to the fact that
dead men tell no tales, the public at large
has come TO look with unlimited and undue
confidence upon operations as a way out OF
every dif1culty-a deus ex machina which
can always be invoked to hurry matters up
should the treatment Of a malady prove a
little tedious. curious sort of demand for
operative treatment has arisen; people urge
each other not to allow their doctors to
daily" with their cases, but to do some
thing radical" and II is to be feared that
sometimes IL the doctor does not adopt this
radical policy-or at least do something
that requires an anesthetic-they regard
him as ''old-fashioned" (the very hardest
thing that one can nowadays say Of any
DOCTOR and run off to some one else. This
is a kind of public sentiment which IL Is by
no means easy TO combat; the irresponsible
chatter Of the patients friends condemns
the cautious surgeon. while the unmeas-
ured praise bestowed by the same irrespon-
sible authorities upon the occasional sue
cess Of an adventurous operator leads 20
undeserved fame AS we need hardly say.
the effect of all this must react injuriously
upon the medical profession. Some medical
men indeed, assert that the evil conse-
ouences of this mania for operating have
already attained considerable dimensions.

/. BLONDE VS.. BRUNETTE
Burning Question Fee1ingly Debated
= = - by Ardent Students.

& The burning question Of the hour, before
which all other questions of higher
education st god aside at the university
last ight was the subject Of debate at the
armory:; 8 Resolved, That Blondes are
Preferab1e.to Brunettes." Two able de-
batting, teams argued this momentous
problem zJohn Philip Smith and Frank
J. McPartland stood for the affirmative.
Bert Russell 3 and Edward Tuohy rep
resented the negative.
Mr.. Smith .bo1stered up his conten-
ton by citing the case of Joan dare
andaof Ruth, of Biblical fame, whose name
had come laundering down the corridors
Of time as that of a woman courageous
enough to kiss her mother in law.
Another argument against brunettes was
that Mr.. Tuohy, one Of his opponents, was
at that moment being rushed by bru-
nette.
For the negative, Bert Russell declared
that the dusky beauties, Helen Of
Troy, Cleopatra, Sappho, Mother Goose
and Topsy were names to conjure by.
Winding up for the Affirmative, Mr.. Nc
Partland said the stamp Of divine dis
approval of brunettes had been. placed
upon Ham when he was given a dark
complexion for quarreling with his father.
He also produced testimonials in favor
of blondes from Mr.. Jacobson Of the
state legislature, and Mr.. Dooley Of Chi
cago. @ ~ tss
Mr.. ,Tuohys came back atshim with af1-
davits from Carrie Nation. Sid the. rat
man and Minister WI and others, all OF

being awaited with breathless suspense
