tory. Higher standards have been set in

out a more finished product in the young
practitioner.

defense. The latter took the stand, and in
answer to questions of Attorney George

four others. All of them were drinking
whisky. Sims and his brother took several
drinks with the other men, who were
strangers to the Sims brothers.
Soon, the defense contends, Williams and
his friends began quarreling with the Sims

his hip pocket, continued to advance, cry

Notes of the Congress.

NOTES OF the SOuSIcSS.
Prof Tillmanns of Liepsic, whose treatise
on modern surgery has been translated into
all of the modern languages, the Japanese
translation having just been completed, Is
one of the prominent figures in the con-
gress of American physicians and surgeons
Prof Tillmanns has expressed himself as
greatly impressed with what he terms the
wonderful practicability of the American
scientific mind" He declared last night at
the banquet of the Therapeutic Society that
he had learned many things during the con-
gress and expected to learn many more be-
fore It's close.
You can expect a great discovery In
medicine only about once in ten years, re-
marked Dr. Reynold Webb Wilcox of the
Harvard medical faculty today. The last
discovery of Importance was that OF the
serum theory, about ten years ago. Since
that time this theory has been developed
through the application Of the best thought
of the medical profession, and the advance
ment in It's perfection has been steady, with
results highly satisfactory
There are no national lines which can be
drawn in science" remarked prominent
member of the American Therapeutic So
ciety today. Science embod1es the very
best thought of every nation, and 1t is not
influenced by geographical lines of govern
mental systems. 1t does not reduce all to
lower plane of mediocracy, but 1t raises and
brings together the best in every country.
