Abstract
<h3>To the Editor:</h3> —In a friendly chat with one of my medical friends, recently, I asked him why he did not take theJournal of the American Medical Association. His reply was as follows: "It is too full of<i>big things</i>." There is some truth in this assertion. TheJournalis often full of big things; my friend claims that the so-called expert and the specialist are allowed too much space in which to air themselves; that it requires too much effort upon the part of the country doctor to digest the "big things." He says the country doctor's time is better spent in reading a few practical<i>truths</i>than in trying to analyze a lengthy article on "Electro-anesthesia and Frequency of Induction Vibration;" "The Esoteric Beauty and Utility of the Microscope"; "Appendicitis with Original Report of One Hundred and Forty-one Histories and Laparatomies for that disease under Personal Observation."
