The late Sir Edward Bradford was a
great figure in British official life.
especially in the Indian service Sir
Edward was a splendid huntsman.
Although possessing only one arm. he
rode a most spirited horse. The occa-

His Hardships Were Many, and His
Rewards Were Not Great.


The strongest impression gained In
reading of the experiences of old time
physicians is of their boldness and dar-
ing. Most of them were by necessity
surgeons as we'll as doctors of medi-

bear the ent - responsibility of the
welfare Of tlsa. patients. they learned
to rely upon themselves and to take
chances that would make the general
practitioner shudder in these days of
many specialists and wide division OF
labor. Perhaps none ever undertook
surgical operations who had no train
ing in that line, but with no hospitals
within reach. with few instruments
and with the modern antiseptics and
nursing systems undreamed Of. they
