Are we not correct in insisting that those surgeons who work in sacred regions - speaking anatomically and where a single germ may be fatal, when elsewhere the general result would be but little affected, shall guard themselves against carrying infection, and so limit their work and husband their physical and psychic resources as to always be in such good form that their five senses, the sixth also - common sense - but most of all the sev cuth - moral sense - shall be acutely alert and their hands shall have their fullest cunning? The victim of excessive. Fatigue, drink, drugs or disease is in poor form for practicing medicine, but least of all, surgery. The half-sick doctor in charge of a patient is an epitome of the blind' leading the blind, and all these points are arguments in favor of every medical and surgical worker limiting his labors and having a pride as the years pass in not doing more work but better work, and having his patrons say, how well you do your work, not how cheap, and realize that there will be one or more months in every year that his services are not available, as he is taking his propel vacation, recreating and seeing how the good workers the world over do their work.
