80 FIFTY-FOURTH xVNNUAL SESSION are very crude, low, inconsistent and entirely unreasonable. Proof of this is plainly enough seen in review of the fact that the requirement for the general education of the trained nurse is a little higher than that of the aspiring physician under whose direction she must work. There are those, and they are rather many, who think it makes no difference whether one calls himself doctor or whether he is so appelled by others. Some think that a patent medicine that speaks positively of cure is more to be trusted than the true physician who examines laboriously and long before stating his opinion. Some, indeed, still think that it is the sign of an apt fellow to be able to tell the whole story at first sight or from acquaintance of some relative or even of some closely associated friend. So the people like other moving bodies are inclined to vacci-late, and we must recognize that they are partly helpless, the most intelligent layman often displaying a pitiful and disastrous lack of judgment in choosing medical advice. They must trust largely to appearances, and even the most incompetent practitioner usually manages to conceal his defects and to make a fine outward appearance. So with the human hunger for being humbugged the people through our last legislature got together and spoke out in emphatic but surely embarrassing tones for a return to that annoying and dangerous condition from which they first sought legislative relief, and would not patiently listen to reasonable and very conservative plans for the further improvement of our profession. And thus we are rotated back to the point of our beginning so far as legislative support goes. With reasonable and non-vaccilating support of our people our medical institutions would soon become endowed, our entrance requirements into the study of medicine would be perfected and our own young men would be educated at home in a scientific and practical way which would be a satisfaction and a just pride to our State.
