Mr. Hail frankly states that there is a dys cidad tendency in under-estimate the evil cos sequences, of being too ready to resort to surgical operations. Hasty operations re attributes to two different impulses, On the one hand, there is the time surgaon, who argacat at it is better to be on the safa zidu” and that the consequences of unnecessary opere ation are as nothing compared with the poss! bid dangers of delay...

A change has come over the boss-surgeon in hospitals in recent years. His Interest fa contred almost entirely upon major operative - surgery. But, give him a non-operative cases where careful obiervation and close attentiop are required, and he not pacommonly proves a failure.
He considers that crushed fingers are better "lopped off" to use his own phrase, He has "forgotten the off "ariam, that "amputation is
the reproach of surgery."
THE BUNUPRAN SUGAR CROP AND THE SUGAR MARKET, According to the most recent estimates this year's crop in the principal, sugar producing countries of Europe comes little behind the rich yield of the previous year. It is expected, to teach a total of 6,570,000 tons for the present year against 6,950,000 in 1905-6. Only in France is there any likelihood of a falling off exceeding 20 per cent.; in the other, European, countries, except in Russia, prospects are beare ly as good as they were last year, For Russia
