THE SCIENTIFIC CLINICIAN

THE SCIENTIFIC CLINICIAN. THE average meeting of local, or even of national, medical societies is given up, as a rule, and justly and wisely enough, to the discussion of themes of immediately practical interest, and to the relation of personal experience in medical fields. “In a short hour, a short journey,” says the proverb. The hours which the busy practitioner can give to friendly meetings for mutual counsel are short indeed, and it is quite natural that the object of the short journeys these short hours make possible should be the reaping of practical hints as to how to meet every- day perplexities.
