Thero is an old saying that physicians are a elasa of men who pour druga, of which they know little, into bodies of which they know leas. Thia is both true and untrue at tho same time. There are good and poor lnwyere, ond good ond poor doctors. Tbe troublo with theae medical gentlemen as a profession is that they are clannish, ond apt to be conceited. Thoy don't liko to be beaten at their own trade by outsiders who have never studied medicine. They there foro pay, by their frequent failures, tho penalty of refusing instruction unless the teacher bears their own " Hall Mark."

An eminent physician— Dr Brown-Sequard, of Paris — Btates the case accurately when he says- - — " The medical profession are bo bound up m their own self-confidence and conceit that they allow tho diamond truths of science to be picked op by persons entirely outside tbeir ranks." Wo give a most interesting incident, wbich illustrates this important truth.
