Prob ably no other group of regular quacks in 'the 'profession hatea me: and' all my works so venomonously as do the Internists. These are the ponderous humbugs who pose as specialists In Whatever1 you happen to have wrong inside. There are' many 1 comical things In our profession and In our modern medical ethics, but nothing, I am sure, more absurd than the rec ognition of "Internal medicine"- as a legitimate special field of .practice. In my Judgment,' arrived at after more years of study than most of these humbug speolatlsts have- prac ticed, the rolson d'etre of this allcced specinlty'ls merely to afford the' pam pered gentlemen who elect to follow It a legitimate opportunity to gouge and exploit the . credulous folk who believe that a doctdf must be st better doctor If he holds out as a specialist. In an elder day there were a few physicians who really limited their practice to consultatlonswthat is, they accepted only patients referred to them by' practicing physicians or answered only calls sent In'by physi cians at tho bedside. They were real specialists, with a solid background of experience behind them: Their col leagues knew and recognized the val ue of their help, opinion or advice In difficult tases. Theso honest consult ing physicians did hot cater- to the Wlsecracker crowd In tact there -was no such class of near-rich or newly- rich to cater to. They depended sole ly upon recognition of their skill or ability by their colleague!.'

I haven't the shadow of a doubt but that some of the bfethcreh now making a good Income' from 'tho In ternist racket might be able to sup port themselves If they were com pelled to roturn to honest general practice and be it bit less finical and choosy abqut answering calls. But I am reasonably certain that most of these pretentious charlatans we tol erate In the ranks of argonlzcd piedl clne would starve If they had to com pete on honest terms with honest doctors. . . f , , , ( ' , . QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ' 'The riiience of Underwear -. For years I have wdrn heavy wool underwear in winter and very light wool In the summer, for the reason that wool absorbs the sweat better than linen or cotton and also that the air dries the wool :bettr than it does cotton next to the body, thereby leaving the layer next ta the body less sticky and giving freer ven tllatlon. What do you think of my practice? (M. C.) Answer X A think you . are . quite right. Any one who haa worn a wool bathing suit and compared its com fort when wet and iri the breeze with that of cotton , knows that light weight wool underwear is ideal for summer, and for those whose habit or occupation keeps them much In doors In winter.' . : . : . -.
