In recent lecture at the Harvard
Medical school Dr. Maurice IL Rich
ardson set forth the absolute need Of
resortiHe to the knife in certain cases
The idea that the surgeon lacks sensi-
bility and is more or less Indifferent
to human suffering and may even per
form an operation when not absolute
ly necessary he declared to be all
wrong. He said that the contrary
was shown by the fact that the sur
geon is constantly laboring to make
his profession unnecessary by prevent
ing the recurrence of the diseases for
which he operates, as well as by en-
deavoring to cure without resorting to
operation. "A popular delusion that
the surgeon Is simply looking for an
opportunity to keep busy all the time.
DR.. Richardson added, results in thou
sands of deaths of sufferers who are
persuaded by friends not to submit TO
operation, until it is too late to save
the patient"

a stiff one the trouble is increased
fourfold. TO prevent the line from

until the twist appears, then change
the ball to the right hand and twist
with the left hand and the twist will
