Dr. Clements made this tour va'tiy
with a view to visiting witlrgreat med

Ihe time to close observation of what
the medical and surgical sciences were
doing in the way of modern methods.
Among other institutions he stopped
at Johns Hopkins university and at tht
Mayo Brothers institute at Rochester,
Minnesota. Questioned as to the merits
of this institution, tl' doctor was
guarded. It is unouostionifbly the great
est thing of its kind in the world. In
the matter of efficiency, system and
orgu nidation it is magnificent and mar
velous. He found that every appliance
and equipment know to the profession
was being utilized with a view to hand
ling the greatest number of pr.tients in
a given time. The four great hospitals
and the grounds and the city itself is
constructed to this end. But when his
