another hearing. But the jury doubt
less felt secure under the protection
Of the bailiff and the sacred pre-
cincts Of the court ROOM and if they
had returned a verdict adverse to
the plaintiff, there was, no doubt,
some rear door through which they
might have dispersed, and thus have
escaped violence at the hands OF a
ltigant outraged at the injustice
which had been melted out TO her.
Viewing the matter from this safe
distance, We are inclined to think
that the unseemly conduct of the
plaintiff would more likely have
prejudiced her own cause than it did
the defendants" Judgment for
plaintiff is affirmed.
Thus we note that the rule is laid
down in law that a physician does
not guarantee to cure q patient by
simply undertaking the case, and his
compensation. is not dependent up
on a cure, unless that is specifically
agreed i'll advance.
Generally speaking the duty Of
the average practitioner towards his
patient is to use the ordinary skill
and care possessed and practiced
by members of the profession in gen
eral in similar locations. No extra
ordinary skill or learning is expect
ed OF a physician in law, beyond
that possessed by the ordinarily
skillful practitioner The physician
is supposed to keep abreast Of his
times, be ordinarily skillful and
careful in diagnosis and capable Of
prescribing and administering the
recognized remedies and treatments.
If the physician does this he has
fulfilled his duty to his patient and
is entitled to compensation therefor
and is not responsible for any injur-
les that may occur.
One who claims to be a specialist

within his field and if he fails to
exercise special skill in the treat
ment Of a patient he is responsible
to the patient for resulting injury.
AS q general practitioner is supposed
to be possessed Of ordinary skill and
required to exercise the usual care
he is liable to his patients in dam
ages in a court Of law if injuries
occur to the patient because Of his
failure SO to do.
In the first place a physician may
arbitrarily refuse to take any case.
He is under no legal obligation to
serve any person if he does not so
desire. He cannot be legally COM
polled to accept a case with or with
out pay. But if he does accept a
case he is responsible to the patient
for his acts whether he is acting
for pay or gratuitously.
Given a proper opportunity for a
complete examination and diagnosis
the physician, once he accepts the
case, is bound to use usual skill and
care in the diagnosis. Following the
diagnosis the physician is expected

HOW TO USE RED CROSS SEALS

HOW TO USE RED CROSS SEALS
Red Cross Seals should, in accord
ance with order NO. 5000 Of the
Post office Department, "be affixed
to the reverse side of domestic mail
matter" and not on the address side
Of any packages that are going
through the mail. They may be
placed anywhere on matter going
by express. As many seals may be
used as may be desired Care should
be exercised in sending merchan-
disc through the mails not to place
seals over the strings with which
the package is tied, since this seals
the package against inspection and
subjects it to first-class postage
rates. Red Cross Seals may be used
Oh the reverse side of mail matter
sent to Austria, Germany, Great
Britain and most Of the British Col
onies, except India and Australia.
Guatemala, Uruguay and Portugal re-
fuse to admit mail bearing non,post-
age stamps. Certain European coun-
tries Will return to the sender any
mail bearing Red Cross Seals on the
address side. Red Cross Seals may
be used Oh the face Of checks, on
bills, on legal documents and on any
commercial paper. These Christmas
Seals are not good for postage. They
will not carry any mail matter, but
any kind Of mail matter will carry
them.

THE DOCTORS
RE RESPONSIBILITIES

Not long ago a Georgia court was
called upon to adjudicate a difficulty
between practitioner and patient ana
it seems worth while TO report the
case substantially in the words ct
the court itself. This was a contest,
says the court, between two mem
bers Of the gentler sex. Plaintiff
was Il practitioner of the art or
science of osteopathy, and the de-
PENDANT either needed Or thought
she did (Which is the same thing,

visits were made, at 1910 per visit;
the ten cents being added for street
car fare, and the whole bill amount
ed to $27.90. Defendant calims that
the bill includes charges for mum
Der of social calls, and that the SER
vices rendered by the doctor gave
her no relief and were SO unsatisfac-
tory that she was forced to resort
to a physician OF the allopathic
school, who administered pills and
mixtures in the good, old-fashioned
way. On the issues Of fact, the plain
tiff out-swore the defendant, or at
least the jury in the Justices court
thought she did, and the judge Of
the superior court refused to inter

doctor is entitled to recover only
where he cures the patient
So far as we are concerned the doc
tors may continue to bury their mis-
take and recover for their services
as they have always done. If We
were dealing with lawyers the rule
might be different, but sufficient
unto the day is the evil thereof.
1t appears from the record
that the trial waXed warm, and dur
ing the testimony Of the defendant
the plaintiff became excited and eX-
claimed, Liar! liar! liar!" and while
the defendants counsel was endeav-
Oring to persuade the Jury to ac-
cept his clients theory VI the case
the plaintiff did at intervals yell
out in court that the defendant was
liar and had lied" 1t is complained
that this conduct of plaintiff pref
udiced the jury against the defend
ant and that the verdict ought to
be set aside because the magistrate
failed to punish the plaintiff for con-
tempt. The court answers: Doubt
less the conduct Of the plaintiff
overawed the chiyalrous young JUS
tice and embarrassed him quite as
much as it did the defendant, and
we are not disposed to criticize too
harshly his exhibition of judicial
timidity. At any rate. the failure Of
the magistrate to punish the con
tumelious plaintiff must be allowed
to rest upon his judicial conscience.
If we had any means of knowing
that the plaintiffs conduct terrorized
the jury and coerced the verdict in
her favor we would, in the interest
