HIGH MARK OF SURGERY
" Toi-day it may safely be claimed that the craft of surgery has almost reached the end of its progress along the lines.which it has so far followed," said Lord Monyihan, in his Romanes Lecture at Oxford recently. "The full fruits of Lister's work have now been, garnered," added. Lord Moynihan. ; "(Infection may confidently, be denied entrance to any fresh wound in which an infective focus is not opended.j Operations are consequently performed ,by the greater masters with a success that leaves little hope of betterment. New methods of treatment, may)no doubt, appear in ouv further development, but so iohg as cutting 'operations of the kind now practised have to be applied for relief or. cure of disease, it is hardly possible that their success can be improved, except by change, in the quality of material, submitted, that is by preliminary preparation of the patient increasing his powers of resistance to attack."
