BALM IN ACTION
’ MEDICAL AUTHORITY'S VIEW. I An eminent medical authority, who has made a special study of the nervous system, writing in the "Evening News” of London about "war strain" and its effects on people, says: —Every surgeon knows that occasionally a medical student merely watching an operation may faint, though I believe this is a much rarer event than it used io lie,' he ; iso knows that this does not happen if lhe student is allotted some duty, however minor, to perform in connection with tile operation. Just so. the best antidote against, this long-drr.wii-out war of nerves is active co-
operation in some form of national service. For each of us to play some part in national defence is the best way of being released from obsessions of fear, as well as being best for our country. lr. a war of nervous attrition I do not. think we shall bo the losers! For unoer our modern veneer is the same stout English oak which has carried us io victory and secured our freedom in lhe past. Once again in Pitt's immortal words: "We shall save England by our exertions and gave Europe by our example."
