A. Certainly; and we welcome any kind of safeguard that will protect the public against fraud and imposture.
Q. Then you consider your profession very seriously?
A. Undoubtedly. It is the most important profession in the world; not a man, woman, or child exists who has not derived some benefit from its exercise.
Q. If I am not mistaken, you ought to be educated at Oxford or Cambridge to do full justice to your opportunities?
A. Certainly; upon the foundation of a school training at either Eton, Westminster, Rugby, or Harrow.
Q. Ought you not to take up human and comparative anatomy?
A. As a matter of course, combined with physiology and chemistry.
Q. But does every professor of your art follow this routine of work?
A. Those who are of the greater worth. There are outsiders who assume our noble name and yet know nothing of our special subject.
Q. Besides the studies you have mentioned, are there any others necessary to the formation of a man of your special attainments?
