Jieiore negotiating with a merchant, before engaging with a confidential clerk; before employing a barrister, a careful man makes enquiries as their standing, their length of occupancy or residences and, in the case of a legal adviser, both as to his legal qualifications and as to his capabilities of transacting the individual business he consults him upon. Strange to say, however, in the selection of medical man, the sufferer frequently omits these necessary precautions and without regard to the fitness, qualification, experience and ability for the particular ailment, requiring treatment, he consults the nearest mant whose experience and practice, perhaps, lies m quite an opposite direction. Is it astenißbing that so many are driven mad, are ruined in health, and are bankrupt m spirits, hope and money ? Have I not for years pointed out to them that I, Dr L. L>.
