He will acquaint you with the laws of the land, and of this State in particular, which regulate the practice of medicine; he will explain the points on which a Doctor may come in contact with the law courts, either as a practitioner having to account for his own actions, under a charge of malpractice perhaps, or as an expert summoned as a witness before a court in matters of civil contests or criminal prosecutions.

"It's got to be known sometime," he said, "and you'll be my lawyer when I'm put into the ground you're clever. They call me a quack. Malpractice bah! There's my diploma James Clifton Welldon. Right enough, isn't it?" Rawley was petrified.
