against publicity. IN 'ENGLAND AS IN NEAV ZEALAND. (Aust and N.Z. Cable.) (Beeeived Dec. 29, 2 p.m.) London, Gee. 28. '[’lie conservatism ot the General Medical Council oi Britain was criticised by Sir Arbiithnot Lane, a leading surgeon. He declared that a doctor hesitated to write to the press because lie never knew .what the Council wou|d do about it. Ihe situation should be ended. America was a splendid example. Over there anything beneficial to the public was published .without hindrance. As a result, Americans were much more interested in health matters and studied them more closely. In England, although a doctor might be the highest authority on his subject, be was not allowed to spread bis special knowledge far and wide, because of the absurd idea that he was advertising himself.
