one of the leading surgeons OF Baltimore
and the father of DR.. Fitz r. Winslow
of the Baraboo Hospital staff. DR..
Winslow of Baltimore went to London
last summer to attend the Clinical Con-
gress of Surgeons of North America and
while there the war came on. He expect
ed to make trip to Holland, Belgium
and France, but was disappointed in
this.
He speaks of the clinics being held
under the direction of Dr. John B. Muir
| phy, then the president of the associa-
n. 1t was difficult to see some of
The noted surgeons operate on account
of the large number who desired to at
tend the clinics, some of the operations
being most wonderful. One of the ar
ticles says the large intestine is the
cause of many ills, poisons getting into
the human system fro this source. At
clinic the colon was removed and
stones were left in the gall bladder, the
operator stating they would do no
harm. A woman with large goiter
was shown whose neck was rigid and
fixed. The colon was removed and her
neck was better the next day. A girl
with her arms and hands immovable
and rigid began to move the fingers the
next day after removal of the colon.
DR.. Winslow does not think the oper-
ators in England are any more skillful
than those in America. Some of the
operations he saw were unusual and in
teresting, he says. During an opera
ton the English surgeons do not talk
as much as those in America. and one
case is mentioned where nothing at all
was said by the surgeon.
Dr. Winslow tells in the articles of
the early war scenes in London, of his
visit to some of the great educational
institutions and of his zigzagging
through England and Scotland.
Picture of Hyde Park
Concerning a stroll through Hyde
park in London the writer says:
"Mr John Bull and wife and family
were out in force, strolling over the
grass or listening to addresses by
groups of peripatetic orators. John US
ually wore top hat, cutaway coat and
spats; his wife and daughters wore nom
descript costumes, not remarkable for
beauty. They were, however, good
pedestrians and each group was enjoy
ing itself in its own way. On Sundays
it is customary for agitators of one
kind or another to go to Hyde Park
and address the people. Some of them
go in wagons and speak from their
conveyances; more frequently they go
on ct and speak from table or stand
of some kind. The auditors come and
go at their pleasure and frequently in
terrupt the speakers to ask more or
less irrelevant and often exasperating
questions. We listened to group of
suffragettes who were in a wagon; they
were neither handsome nor venomous.
They were probably not militants. Near
by was amuch wilder looking woman,
VINO was not even as handsome as the
others, and who was venomous. She
breathed dire threats against that poor
beast-man. She was accompanied by
poor-looking member of the genus
homo, whose whole duty appeared to be
that of holding a dilapidated- looking
suffragette flag. There appeared to be
no limit to the ability of these women
to instruct or entertain the people. An
other group of speakers were evange-
lists preaching the gospel, while within
earshot Hindoo was loudly calling
upon Christians, Jews, Mahomedans
and all other misguided sinners to ac-
cept humanitarian deism as a refuge
from their sins. did not learn what
humanitarian deism was supposed to be.
The Irish question was being discussed
by another group. One man said he had
already served Is years in prison and
some one in the audience suggested that
| it would have been better if he had
served 20 years instead. Another
speaker was interested in the negro
question and told how hard it was for
negro to get employment in London. A
splendid man named Kennedy, a negro,
almost starved because he could not Sc
cure employment was surprised to
hear that there was such prejudice in
England against negros, but when the
speaker told of the barbarous treat
ment of negros in the United States and
/ said they were not even allowed
to walk on the sidewalks with white
people he showed himself either an ig-
noramous or a plain fool. 3"
