This winter may be blessing in disguise.

it may be summer en- masque. And yet 1t
may be none the less helpful and inspiring
for that reason. Nobody is now heard COM
planning OF mosquitoes, chggers, ants, flies
or other insects, all of which, in their season,
are regarded as such Affections, by the COM
planning, that 'the old-fashoned winter" is
longed for and invited. This belated ac-
ceptance of long standing invitation should
meet with more cordial hospitality.
True, the freight congestions and conse-
quent coal shortages have vexed us. But it
is easy to set against all OF this the fact that

American Doctors in England.

One of the oddities Of international relations
has been brought out through the exigencies OF
the war. American doctors, particularly surgeons,
army, both in England and in France, and sue
cessfully have applied their sk and knowledge,
born of scientific training and experience, to the
healing OF the sick and the making oyer OF the
wounded. Wonders OF restorative surgery have
been accomplished by these men and Great Brit
air. would have been in sore straits without them.
Yet under the singular conditions that prevail
when !the graduate Of an American school of
medicine, no matter how thorough his training
or how extensive and comprehensive. his expert
enee,s sets foot On: English soil he dases to be
recognized as doctor" and becomes merely a
licensedprsetitioner. This goes back to the time
when the great schools OF Edinburgh and London
sought to maintain themselves against the nfu-
sion Of qyackery thatsthreatened> them from, the
irregular and incompleteiy equipped schools of
Yankeeland. It also has to do with the stringent
regulations undert which medicine and surgery
are practiccd in Great Britain. Men OF science
over there now recognize the thoroughness of
American medical training, the advance that has
BEEN made in standards Of schools in this coun-
try and .sympathise with the efforts that have
been put forth to uproot quackery in all its forms
on this sidey " s2ta
The reverentiai difference paid to the designa-
ton Of doctor" is yet too strong to permit its
application to one who has not been duly regis
tered as an accredited graduate of British
school. Perhaps the war service of American
practitioners will have the effect Of doing away
with h;psesent distinctions At any rate the Eng
lish know to what extent they are indebted for
service to Americans who are skilled in the arts
Of healing
