"I think," answered Endymion, slowly, "my sister would prefer a word or two with him alone." "Certainly. Will you step into the surgery, Miss Westcote?" He indicated the door at which the orderly had appeared. "Smithers will not take two minutes in fetching the prisoner; and perhaps, if you will excuse us, a visit to the hospital itself will repay your brother.

"Go on, Carter," said the chairman. "Shan't!" returned the other, snappishly. "I've finished." Shepherd was now called upon to open on the side of the negative. "War," he began, assuming his accustomed attitude, and beaming round on his listeners with a very good imitation of the Powler smile "war is like surgery.

He then went to Lyons, where in the course of his practice he attracted so much attention that he was offered the opportunity to teach surgery in Paris. He attracted what Gurlt calls an almost incredible number of scholars to his lessons in Paris, and by hundreds they accompanied him to the bedside of his patients and attended his operations.

In a word, we have a picture of the skilled surgeon of the modern time in this treatise of a fourteenth-century teacher of surgery. Chauliac discusses six different operations for the radical cure of hernia. As Gurlt points out, he criticises them from the same standpoint as that of recent surgeons.

I readily agreed to fall in with the wishes of the editor, and thenceforward devoted myself, heart and soul, to correspondence and surgery. In both fields of labour I found ample scope for all the powers of body and mind that I possessed. Just about this time I received a letter from my dear mother, who was aware of my plans.

"Well, you must come back with me to the surgery, for I want you to run an errand for me," he said testily, hoping to pump the boy by the way, but Tommy dived beneath his stick and escaped. This rasped the doctor's temper, which was unfortunate for Grizel, whom he caught presently peeping in at his surgery window.

"We have no common ground to start from," he said; "and if we talk till doomsday, we should not agree. Excuse my leaving you rather abruptly. It is later than I thought; and my morning's batch of sick people are waiting for me in the surgery. I have convinced your mind, Mr.

"Amen," said the doctor. "Here, Bob, bandages, scissors. Fine lesson in surgery for you. Now, captain, you first." "No, no the men," said my father. "Here, I've no time to waste," cried the doctor. "Now, then, who's worst?" "Mas'r Sep," cried the foreman loudly; and there was a sort of chorus of "Ay, ay!"

When the work was over, and every stain or sign of surgery removed, sleep came down on the bed a deep and saturating sleep, which seemed to fill the room with peace. For hours the surgeon sat beside the couch, now and again feeling the pulse, wetting the hot lips, touching the forehead with his palm.

"Besides being a lawyer, he knows surgery, and he's an authority on the habits of criminals." "Is he a friend of yours?" asked Bagley, at the same time that his eyes lighted up at the chance of an auditor free from the incredulity of ignorance. "I never met him," said Turl. "Nor I," said Larcher; "and I don't think Murray Davenport ever did." "Then if Mr. Tompkins will introduce Mr.
