The Great and the Small.

The presence of DIR. Lorenz. worker
of surgical marvels that are almost
miracles, gives an excellent opportunity
for comparison between the really big
men of the world and those who are big
only in their own conceit. The great
Austrian is as simple hearted as child.
He makes no occult mystery of his
science, assumes no airs of owlish gravi-
ty; bothers his big. open mind not at
all with that fetch of the pigmies,
professional ethics" Ask DIR. LorenZ
a simple, civil question, and he will
give full lucid answer He is accesi-
BILE to everyone who has plausible ex-
cuse for seeing him, and he needs no
fiunkies to guard him from impertinent
intruders.
Incredible as it may seem to the little
medicine men of Philadelphia. DIR.
Lorenz does not deem it uuprofessional
or beneath his dignity to talk to news
papers" He answers a reporters in
telligent questions with freedom and
frankness, and, while not seeking adj
vertisement in the public press, never
dreams of holding himself loftily aloof
from the public and pretending that it
pains him to see his.name in print.
DIR. Lorens is today the most widely
known and best appreciated man of his
profession in the world because he has
not given a thought to self-advertise-
ment one way or the other. but has
done his work with scientific thorough.
ness, and has had no ignorance to con-
ceal under the pretentious reticence
borrowed from the charlatans aud fa-
kers of the dark ages of medicine, i'm
posed upon mediocrity by professional
ethics
Because he is really great in mind and
in heart the Austrian is as modest as
he is kindly and approachable. He
knows so much that he sees the limita-
tions of his knowledge and is humble
before the vastneSs of the unknown and
the unknowable That which he can
do with certainty and the skill of inf

mite patience seems TO him IA simple
thing, and he cannot understand why
there should be so much amazel admir-
arion of his powers. SO much talk about
him in the papers.
Perhaps there is lesson in this for
the Liliputians of the profession, but
it would be futile topoint it out to them
They know they are great people. and
they are not troubled with modest
doubts of the vastness of their own
knowledge and the supreme importance
of regulating their conduct in public by
