Before 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 residence; 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 mantwhose experience and practice, perhaps, lies in quite an opposite direction.
