MEDICINE AS A CAREER. ‘•As regards medicine as a career, it may be said that a living wage can be obtained by practically nil properlyqualified persons who run straig it. n the other hand, it is not a lucrative profession! the big prizes ate few am the life is not easy. Exposure to infectious diseases is part of the doctor s nrivilege, and so the average span of life among medical men does not equal that of the Church and the law, which have been said to see the best and the worst sides of mankind respectively. Medicine, however, has special attractions to those interested in human nature when seen as it really is; ’t appeals to those willing to • remain students all their days, for"there is no chance that the knmvlede with which a man begins practice will be sufficient to keep him efficient twenty years later It has been said forcibly but truly that medicine is a fine profession, but as a trade it is iieg’igiblc.”-Sir Humphrey Rollhston.
