"OLD DOCTOR GROVES"
RECALLS EARLY DAYS
OF MEDICA.L PRACTICE
Noted Fergus Practitioner
Chuckles and Claims Share to
Honors Accorded Lister and
Pasteur - Hospital "Staff"
Comes Under Fire.
Saturday's Toronto Globe had the
following article on Dr. Groves, who
is well known in this section of the
country, for his many operations.
The mouth was a play in itself.
Each time a rising young executive
said "Summation" the routh would
note it with a quirk. Each time an
earnest -minded young doctor solved
one more problem with one more
theory the mouth would smile ten-
derly. Each time those blessed
words "specialization" and .'efficien-
cy" turned up, the mouth remember
ed something that amused it.
Statistics up to a point it closed
firmly upon. After the fourth page
it took on an interesting and des-
pairing droop,
It was worth watching .that
mouth. It was more worth liseerl-
ing to when Dr. Abraham Groves, of.
Fergus the oldest delegate to the
Ontario Hospitals Association Con•
vention, consented to talk.
Dr. Groves will be 83 on his next
birthday. He graduated from Med-
ical School in Toronto when the
Franco-Prussian War was raging ;
when ladies wore hoopskirts and
gentlemen antimacassared thin flow-
ing whiskers ; when Confederation
was extremely new in Canada, and
there were no such things as germs
in medicine.
Abraham Groves started his pro-
fessional career as a genera] prac-
tioner in Fergus. He is still in Fer-
gus, still a general practioner and
very proud of both facts.
Helping people into the world,
fighting all sorts of enemies to keep
them in it, mending from broken
knuckles to broken necks -these are
seine of the jobs of a general prac-
titioner. "Old Doctor Groves" has
clone them all and done them well,
in the fifty-nine years since he first
rode out from Fergus, to visit a
I atient in the township of Garit-
fraxa.
Best Neck in Country
To -day Dr. Groves is head of the
Fergus Hospital. It was there that
the neck was mended fourteen years
ago. Dr. Groves still has the broken
piece he took out. Its owner still has
the neck. "The beat neck in the
country ; he claims," Dr. Groves
mid yesterday.
Many great men have risen
many great discoveries have been
made in modern medicine. But the
names of Lister and Pasteur are
still greatest names in the science to
Dr. Abraham Groves.
When voranaue Groves left medi-
-el school at the age of 23, things
were not as now, "I remember the
surgeon going from one operation to
another without even washing his
hands. Why should he? There wasn't
any such thing as a germ.
"I m told by men of good repute
that T was the first surgeon who ever
sterilized before an operation. That
was in the year '73, on July 5"
The old doctor chuckled. "Not
that I knew nothing about the
crerm theory. Nobody did pay any
attention to him when I got my dip
loma.
"But there' was typhoid around,
and we. were beginning to suspect

typhoid. So I said to my assistant,
John Wishart, that we had better
be on the safe side and boil this wa-
ter and every thing that was washed
in it.
"John used to.,laugh afterward
and say that we two should share the
honor of Lister and Pasteur."
"Can be Carried too Far."
"What do I think o fthe. tenden
Iles of modern medicine? Well. I'm
a general practioner, and tin individ-
ualist -both out of date, perhaps. 1
think specialization and organiza-
tion can be carried too far.
Hospitals for instance. Ours is a
private hospital. But its a great deal
more public than most of the hos-
pitals in this Province. Any properly
qualified doctor in Ontario can treat
his patients there. I'll have no
'stag' in my hospital."
There was a large contempt in the
old doctor's voice. "Stag 1 I call it a
rascally system that permits a thing
called a 'board' to say who shoji or
shall not look after you or me when
we're sick. Who pays the bills
anyway? You or the 'board?'"
Dr, Groves, of Fergus stopped
and laughed. "The poor, long-suffer-
ing public," he said, "they must like
it or it wouldn't be done. But it
seems a terrible thing to me if, in a
great crisis of your life you cannot
have the roan you trust to care for
you because he is not on 'the staff'."
