SAW an instrument once which the doctor who invented it said was a Dusmorphos- tiapalimklast. What does that mean, Doctor Bicyclades ?” “In so far as it can be said to mean anythin, Socrates, its composition shows that it means tool for breaking something already ill-formed. The man was a fool who gave it that name.” “But I heard you discussing with Penni- doktor, O Bicyclades, the ‘Inhibition by local lesion of the Sternutatory Act.’ What does that mean, in plain Greek?" “*O Socrates, it means that pressure on certain | spots stops sneezing.” “Why not say that, Bicyclades?” “To say truth, Socrates, there are some things that every onc has to have a little practical knowledge of —law, political economy, and medicine. Therefore we, who live off these things, have to use a jargon lest the laity should understand how little we really know.” ‘But every one must know a little of carpen- tering, O Bicyclades; for instance, how to drive a nail; yet the carpenter does not need to call his compass a kuklographonate in order to be em- ployed. He doesn't even call himself a Pro- fessor of Lumber Surgery.” “No, for it requires more skill and longer training to be a doctor than to be a carpenter; therefore we give the doctor due honor by a title.” “Are all doctors, then, skilled and well-trained, Bicyclades?” “To truth, no; many of them know very lit- Indeed, to be a watchmaker takes more skill than most doctors have.” “But does the watchmaker call himself a Horological Doctor, or @ Professor of Tickeron- tonomy ?" “No, Socrates, for the watchmaker, like the carpenter, depends for his success upon his skill, of which anyone can judge. Whereas no one can judge of the skill of the physician.” “ But if his patients get well, does it not show that the physician is skillful, Bicyclades?” “By Hercules, no; for nature usually makes | persons well, anyhow, in most cases—if we let them alonc; and of course the patients of even | the greatest physicians will die when they get| diseases sufficiently severe.” “Then the man who called his tool a Dusmor- phostiapalimklast was not a fool, Bicyclades was he not rather a swindler?” “No, Socrates, he was only a fakir, for he supplied what people wanted.” “What is it to fake, Bicyclades?” “Tt is to sell to the simple at a wondrous price that which is simple in itself.” “Is not Medicine, then, the greatest of fakes?” “Tt appears to be so, unless we except Theol- ogy—and Philosophy, Socrates.” p45 Hall.
