In nothing has ibis change been moro marked
or the reaulta brought about by it moro beneficent
than in the practice of medicine. Most of ua can
remember when the doctor was supposed to be mas
ter of his whole profession, when he pulled a tooth,
straightened an eye, felt a p jlso, cut off a leg, and
ran the whole round of medical work. A man
would be considered foolish now who would go«to,
anoccullst for a constitutional trouble or who
would go to a general practitioner to have his leg
cut off. There are surgeons who atteud
to surgery, there are occullsts who
atteud to the eyes, there are physicians who
attend to diseases of womsn, others who are skilled
in the diseases of children. Each of these special
ists is recognized by the profession as indicating tho
inovltablo drift of things and by the public as
giving vastly more efficient service and attention
than was possible under the old regime. No man
can master the whole science of medicine, and he
who tries to do it must be more or less 1cm deficient
