gislation, offered the following resolutions in
lieu of those offered by the committee yester-
day.
Resolyed That the interests of the cause OF truth
and the interests Of humanity rise higher than the
distinctive lines OF medical schools, and we hold it
tinctive lines where these higher interests be
subserved thereby
Resolued, That the exclusion of medical men from
positions OF honor and trust in the public nstitu-
tiOns OF the country or in the Government service
on account Of medical opinions, is an abuse OF
power, and ought no longer to be tolerated.
ResOIUed, That the censure and ostracism with
which some medical organizations are pursuing the
more liberal-minded OF their members, are an in
vason OF the rights Of American citizens, subversive
of the freedom of thought and action which should
characterize all scientific bodies.
The resolutions were unanimously adopted.
