A writer in the London “Star' says .. “The proposal which comes from America that surgeons should ‘sign’ their work, just like other artists, is ten likely to find favour with some of outmen tif blood on this side of the ocean. But whether the public—their potential patients--will he pleased is more doubtful. The American surgeon who raises the question practises the plan himself: he tattoos his name, the date ami the nature of the operation close to the incision. For ourselves, wo should .strongly object to having another man's name tatoned on the spot where our appendix used to lie- wo should prefer to have the surgeon’s hill receipted in lull, pasted on it.”
