1404 rhe had had twenty-five years’ experience in London, had held appoiiitments in various hospitals, and was at present connected with the Central Throat and Ear Hospital in Gray’s-inn-road, of which the Archbishop of Canterbury was president. Ho had also visited most of the hospitals in the colonies. The witness went on to state that he was ’opposed to the scheme which Sir Edmund Currie had proposed to their Lordships, because he did not think that doctors were more gifted than other people with philanthropy and benevolence. lIe considered that hospitals existed for the benefit of the sick and not for the benefit of the medical profession. The Duke of Westminster had said that the very lpoor and the very rich got the best medical all vice ; but, in his opinion, the poor gave quite as much to medical men as they got, hy enabling them to acquire the knowledge requisite for treating the very rich. With regard to the provident scheme, he thought it waspreposterous to ,ask the poor to do what the rich did not do, to pay whether they - were in health or in disease. The system of letters had been entirely abolished at his hospital. He advocated the payment of small sums by ’’those able to pay. The witness proceeded to condemn the system of having paying beds in hospitals, and maintained that they merely aerved to bring a monopoly of practice to the doctors connected with the hospital. He further expressed himself as in opposition to the system of Mr. Holmes, whiêh proposed to abolish the outpatient department. The treatment given by club doctors was ;apt, like that of the parish doctors, to perfunctory. He suh’mitted statistics from his own hospital to show that the patients .attending there had paid in sixteen years the sum of £12,000, and, he believed, in no instance had there been any abuse of the charity or any done to the patients by asking them to pay for their medicine and rfor their board. A great deal of jealousy existed among surgeons in ,general hospitals on account of the special hospitals ; but he submitted tables to show that 150 physicians and surgeons of general hospitals were consulting or actual officers to special hospitals. He was sorry to .say, however, that in the Medical Directory these gentlemen did not say that they were connected with these special hospitals, at the same "time their names appeared in the hospital reports. Mr. Lennox Browne’s evidence will be continued at the next sitting of ’’the Committee on Monday, the 23rd inst.
