NOT LIKE NAAMAN.
A few of our correspondents show an indecent pride in their cunning in taking themselves and their ailments to foreign als for their cure at what they consider reonomie rates. They forget that auth action as this, were it common, would bring its punishment only too speedily, for there would soon he ng skilled surgedu at their command at home when swift fate plunged them into Cimmerian darkness or leath trod closely upon their keels.
But there other side to this question: one which was broached in rent, cor respondence in your columns on the re muneration of hospital doctors. Most of Us consultants spend the half or more of our tine giving gratuitous service at the hospital to which we are attached. As a necary ceroliary of such an arrange ment we needs must meet all our heavy charges of housing, equipment, and living in the other part of our time. Those whe ee to us privately must needs pay for the work which we do at other times in the hospitals. It is inevitable. If this arrangement is found to be inequitable the remely is manifest; the complainants must support the policy of the British Medical Association, which seeks to secure. that there should be remuneration "for the services of the hospital doctors who at tend upon patients who are not indigent but who pay in part or whole for the at- tention they receive at the hospitals. The Continental surgeon, whose moderate fees are commended, is in that position: he is paid for the work he does in hospital and does not need tput the costs of that ser- vice upon the shoulders of his private clients. There is no doubt about the greater fairness of the due apportionment of the costs of medical treatment to each class of recipient; and there is also the manifest advantage that the younger con- sultants, whose work is ales confined to the hospitals, are able to obtain a reasonable living at an carlier agu, so that The necessity for the possession of private means does not act as a limitation upon the entry-of-capable-men-into-the-raaka- of the consultant.

CHESTERTON EPIGRAMS.
Mr. U. K. Chesterton was the guest að Incheon recently of the London Commer cial Club at the Trocadero Restaurant. Mr. Alfred Edwards, who presided, had spoken about Mr. Chesterton's books, but Mr. Chesterton said he did not take the chairman aeriously, for those who read Ho my books never ask ine to lunch." went on to deliver sonic amusing. "Chestertonisms," of which the following are examples:-
There are a great many errors about prohibition, and one of them is that it has been established in America."
Where drink really is a poison people drisk too much; where it is a food and almost a sacrament people drink sparing- ly and with decent diguity".
"Modern politics would cenar tu modern politics without hypocrisy."
Mr. Chesterton "made some sacrastio comments on Americans who made Jaws for other people, and then entered inte a secret society for evading them. "After prohibition," he said, "evading the law became the national, sport of America," He concluded. by appealing to them not to be afraid to say that we stood for that central sanity of civilisation, the flower of which was liberty.
