It is greatly to be regretted that doctors cannot acquire
some of the fortitude of Mr. Balfour. Sir Morell Mackenzie and. Professor Bergmann have been firing pamphlets at one another. The German's idea of the Englishman seems to be that he is a quack, and the Englishman's idea of the German is that he is a brute. As Sir Moron Mackenzie has been rewarded and decorated for his services to his Imperial patient, and as Professor Bergmann enjoys the full confidence of his present Sovereign, both might have been content to be silent under the misapprehensions of meaner men. Heirs quarrel every day over a corpse, but some dignity is required of doctors. These two are as sensitive as the German Government, which has actually confiscated all copies of Sir Morell Mackenzie's book on the treatment of the Emperor Frederick.
