POOR MAN'S DOCTOR YOUNG OFFENDER

POISON LAW OFFENCES IN

VIENNA

Extraordinary scenes of protest were witnessed recently in one of the main streets of Vienna, when Oskar Bohr, the seventy-one-year- old doctor, was arrested and sen- tenced for offences under the new poison law. An appeal, signed by 16,000 of his patients and admirers, has been submitted to the Ministry of Justice, and many have volun- teered to undergo the short term of service in place of the "benefac tor of the poor." These words are written on his plate before the house, and are encircled by laurel leaves by grateful patients.

Dr. Bohr has consulting hours from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

but as early as six o'clock people are lined

as evening falls there still patients waiting for treatment. Almost every day he treats from eighty to a hundred sufferers, and in no esse does he charge more than one Austrian schilling, ie, sevenpence, while many of the very poorest get their treatment for even less. His method of consulta- tion seems to invite confidence. }. Doors are thrown wide open be- tween the waiting rooms and the consulting room, so that incoming patients may see the spirit of trust and comradeship which exists be- tween doctor and patient.
