prejudice in his own profession. The
man bore outrageous attack with rare
fortitude The biographer. DR.. Wrench,

He was ever gentle. courteous and
firm. Trying as are the eXactons and
responsibilities Of an important surgical
post, Lister was never known TO speak a
sharp word to house surgeon. dresser or
any one In his service. his sclentinc
spirit and discovery attracted the curl
osity OF the students and young graduates
OF Edinburgh; his personal nobility won

| loyalty was by inspiring enthusiasm and
giving encouragement. Often In the
| middle OF a trying operation, wrote one
| OF his pupils. "a gentle smile bestowed OF
US young students when we were non

was most encouraging" Many OF the
students afterward confessed that their

purest influence OF their lives.
