NOT READY FOR PRACTICE.

In our enthusiasm over the grand achievements Of laboratory workers, especially in the domains of bacteri- olOgy and pathology, we are apt to for get. and do forget, that medicine in the last analysis is a healing art, and, like any other art. must be continuously and persistently practiced before pro ficiency is attained. Laboratories and theoretical instruction are good enough in their places, provided they supple ment and not supplant practical ex- perience in the diagnosis and. treat ment Of disease.
 In Russia, where medical education is ultra-scientific and ultra theoretical, the cry is now heard all around that the graduates of the several medical institutions are ill prepared for the ac- tual practice of medicine. The neces- sity for more bedside teaching is being urged even by the students themselves as is seen from a publication by the Imperial Military Medical academy "The students complain" says the journal, that they graduate with T lack of practical knowledge, and as q result, when they enter upon the field of Independent activity at the bedside they make mistakes, and thus may do injury to the patient and to their alma mater. This lack of practical prepara - ton depends on many causes, among which are insufficient amount of time devoted to thorough training in the clinics, superabundance in the ad- vanced grades of didactic lectures 10 the detriment Of clinical instruction. and the lack of clinical material"
 As in this country we are gradually diverting medical education to the lab oratories rather than the clinics, it is well to take a timely warning.-Phila- delphia Medical Journal.

they had never spoken, had rarely met
"Oh. Neil. you are too good-you can
not mean it!'
81 mean It," he said coldly.
Through it all he had never suffered
as he did now to see how willing she
was to have him sacrifice himself for
Mark.
1t was a moment of supreme bitter
ness, yet in spite of himself he fingered
to gaze for perhaps the last time into
the sweet face.
Her eyes were full of tears, and,
catching his hand, she passed it to her
lips, sobbing:
You are SO good. SO noble! If It
were not for the children, we could not
consent to your going.

but We have little to sell, and there is
no one to buy what we have"
