DEAD SURGERY.

NEW METHODS OF TRAINING URGED.

LONDON, Oct. 7. “There is no doubt that a cliango in the training of surgeons is imminent, hut it is largejy overdue,” said Sir Berkeley Moynihan (Professor of Chemical Surgery at Leeds University) speaking at King’s College Hospital. He deprecated the fact that physiologists were neglecting opportunities for direct research by trusting too implicitly in the demonstration of physiological truths by the use of animals and that surgeons were teaching students only on the dead body when hospital wards enabled the. teacher to indelibly implant truths derived from livjng human beings. Surgeons, teaching by the former means, developed in the students an intellectual complacency, due to the belief that they had mastered the subject. If surgery were to become the instrument of research which he believed it would, and not merely a wonderful craft, then surgeons must have their minds shaped and strengthened by conflict on unsettled problems and not sterilised by monotonous exercises within the narrow province of static knowledge.

A farmer at Little Rakaia, Canterbury received a surprise one morning last week when going round his sheep, to find that one ewe hail given birth to five lambs, all of which were living. The lambs were about the same size as the average twin lambs, aid strangely, very 'few of the other ewes had produced more than one. The ewe is a bigframed crossbred. On a previous occasion, the farmer said he had had a ewe with four lambs, all of! which lived, hut this is the first time lie lias heard of one ewe producing five.
