A BADGE FOR DOCTORS.
A curious suggestion this, and it hails from Russia. In that country, we are told, doctors are hereafter to wear, as a sign that they are legally qualified to practise, a little zuak or badge—a silver oval plate an inch and a half long by an inch wide—on which is a design of two intertwined serpents. The object is to increase the safety of the wearer in the less civilised parts of the country. The plan might be worth trying in Britain, and help to do away with quackery. There would be difficulties, however, in the matter of getting medical men to adopt it. and some of those who did would be likely to forget to put it on.
