Scientific terms are ordinarily
crammed without mercy into the medt-
cal certificates that are brought into
courts Of justice. These have always
the effect Of thoroughly frightening
the magistrates, who hardly under
stand them more than do the good pub
lie.
At a recent court session M Masse,
the presiding judge, interrupted the
reading Of a medical certificates:
''When will these doctors resolve to
abandon their gibberish and speak
French2"
Monsieur the president, the doctors
remain. as they were in the time Of
Moliere."
The presiding judge said with a
sigh: "They are worse than in the time
Of Moliere. In that epoch at least the
doctors made use Of a kind Of Latin
that one could understand. Today no
one can understand them at all"
Does Monster the President believe
that the gibberish Of the lawyers is
any more understandable than that Of
the doctors?"--Le Cri de Paris.
