SIR A CONAN DOYLE,
STARTED HIS PRACTICE WITH £10
LIFE OF VARIETY AND ROMANCE.
}
I have had a life which for variety and romance could, I think, hardly be exceeded. I have known what it is to be
pour man, and i have known what it is to be fairly affluent, I have sam pled every kind of buman experience. I have known many of the most remark. able men of any time. i have had a long literary career after a medical training. which gave me the M.D. of Edinburgh."
This is a quotation from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's new book called "Memo ries at Adventures," in which he briefly. sketches the main outlines of a very interesting life.
With £10 he started his practice us u doctor in Portsmouth.
When I arrived at Portsmouth (in 1889) I welit into lodgings for a week," he writes, I spent a week in marking dowu an unoccupied house, ad fantly settled at 10 2 year,"
**Having secured the empty house and its key went down to a sale in Port Sea and for about secured 'quite a let of second-hand-possibly tenth-hand- furniture. it met my needs and enabled ste to make one robim possible for pat ients, with three chairs, a table, und a central patch of carpet. 1 had a bed of sorts and a mattress upstairs.
KED LAMPS TICK."
**I fixed up the plate which 1 bad brought from Plymouth, bought a red lamp on tick. and fairly settled down in receipt of custom. When all was done I had a couple of pounds in hand. Ser. vunts, of course were out of the question, so i polished my own plate every morn ing brushed down my front and kept the house reasonably clean. I found that I could live quite easily and well un fess than a shilling a day, so I could hold out for a long period,
The back room was, furnished with ay trubk and a stool. Inside the trunk was my larder, and the top of it was my (dining room table. There was gas laid on, and I rigged a projection from the wall by which I could sling a pan over the gas jet. In this way I cooked bacon with great ease and became expert in getting a wonderful lot of slices frem a pound. Bread, barn, and tea, with do cecasional savetoy-what could man ask for more It is (or was) perfectly easy to live well upon a shilling a day.
THREE BOO THIS WEEK."'.__
It was a busy thoroughfare with a church at one side of my house and i hotel on the other."
A vivid glimpse of this life at Ports- mouth
was given by Conan Doyle's young brother Innes, in a letter home in 1852, He had come to stay, and wrote : ---
The patients are crowding in. We have made three bob this week. We. have raxenated a baby and got hold of a man with consumption." Conan Doyle adds to this
*
Month followed mouth, and I picked up a patient here and a patient there until the nucleus of a little practice had been formed. Sometimes it was an ac cident. sometimes an etuergency case, sometimes a new comer to the town, or one who had quarrelled with his doctor.
EPILEPTIC GADCZER.
I mixed with people su for as I could, for I learned, that brass plate along will never attract, and people must see the human being who lies in wait be hind it. Some of my tradespeople gave) me their custom in return for mine, sund mine, was so small that I was likely, to have the best of the bargain. There was a grocar who developed epileptic fity which means butter and tes to us. Poor fellow he could never have realized the mixed feelings with which. Lrceived the news of a fresh attack."
When Koch announced that he had dis covered a cure for consumption. Conan Doyle was anxious to be present at a demonstration in Berlin, and there get Sir Malcolm Morris.
.h.
I came back a changed can.” WTICS. Malcola Morris assured he that I was wasting my life in the proviness! and had too small- a held for my ne tivities."
