AN EXCESS OF CONSERVATISM. CONDEMNED BY SIR ARBUTHNOT LANE. (Received 29. 12.5 p.m.) London, Dec. 28. The conservatism of the General Medical Council is criticised by Sir William Arbutlmot Lane (the eminent surgeon). He declared that a doctor hesitated to write to the press because ho never knew what the Council would do. This situation should be ended. America was a splendid example where 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, though a doctor might bo of the highest in his subject, he was not allowed to spread his special knowledge far and wide because of the absurd idea that he was advertising himself.—(A. and N.Z.)
