MiffachuGtts, York and Cannedicut States, ana
-''""''"' came into the following resolver.
'1 'H B end of f ciety it the common welfare,
and good of the people associated. The end
of this malting is to form a Medical-Society, and
when for med to unite its members in a cordial aff.&i
on, to add life and vigour, to the healing art, to sap-
P<G quackerifm, and to encourage medical know
ledge and virtue. Such a combination of men there
fore as may produce their own common good, and
happ nef% and that of their felowmtn, muff be fich
an one a; that in the iff. place may render them com
patible one with another, which cannot be without
rum, and to adopt fach rales as are not iaconfiftent
with the rights of mankind and natural justice, must
be confident with the c:enal principle# of right —
To adopt any rule which is naturally unjust, is to
adopt that which is absurd—That such are the c:r
cumflances cf mankind in this d ftemper'd world,
that we cannot live without encountering danger,
and (offering many evils: One of the greatest evils
therefore minkind fuffer is disease, and fxondly the
an /e^be, ignorant, and injudicious application of
medicine. Imagine (for once) a person groaning
under the p^i of fame dCafe, or the excruciating
aogu sh cf some wound ; an ignorant pretender is
called in fcr'affiftonce; by whose applcation, the
patient inflantly expires, or a foundation laid that
the patient f,ius out a mif^able exiflancL
The invention paid to the fuffbrings of mankind
needs no drfcinp'ion. To form rules to quadra:?,
Wih the r^ut# of mankind in general and thiv foci: y
in p.rucuUc, will be the defigu of this meeting.
To ad^p: luch rules as this foclety or tie major part
agree to that so when any desertion or dispute foil
ar;ft coocen^ng them (n be fire there mu,' in a
world f)unrenfohable and polluted) the ^ppLl may
be made to theirowa rules, and by the application
cf a general ^d fputed rule adap ed to the par
ticular case, it may appear on which fide die ool!
quity lies the contreverfy fairly fouled, and all
mouihr eternally flopp'd : Whereupon we rtfolve
