NEW IDEAS ALWAYS UNWELCOME
DIFFICULT TO OVERCOME PREJUDICES. “Men who have advanced new ideas have always from tho earliest days -of history been greeted with scorn and contumely by their contemporaries,” says the “Mirror.” “In art, science, religion, music, politics, philosophy, drama it has been the same. “Euripides, Socrates, Galileo, Wagner, the pve-Raphaelites, Columbus. Lister, Marconi, the brothers Wright —hardly a great name in the history of progress has escaped. And the harshest and bitterest critics have always been fellow-craftsmen who have followed the beaten track.” “It is most difficult to overcome the prejudices of the medical profession.
said a famous London physician to the “Daily Mirror.” “Lord Lister, when he introduced his antiseptic treatment, was scorned by his profession; Harvey, when he discovered the circulation of the blood, was r idiculetl; and the introduction of the stethoscope was almost laughed out of the country.”
