VVHE PRIVATE MEDICAL PRO.
Il FEssIoN.


1t is quite desirable that should define our position
before the public in reference to what is generally known
as the private medical profession The strides which
reporter has taken toward disclosing the criminal side of
the private practice ought to receive the unqualified
approval of all good citizens not bring the euprts to
the bar of justice, as it undoubtedly will in
But 1t must not be supposed that these articles
attack upon the 'Drivate" practice as a WHOLE but
rather upon those who by ignorance and crime persist
in disgracing it, The who seeks to treat and cure
any private disorder is not necessarily a criminal and
he is too often regarded by the purianical as such All
diseases must be cured or the unfortunate poeOr of
the malady would suffer in consequence and perhaps
extend its contagon to the veins pure and healthy
bodies Our duty, then, in relation to this NATTER
two-fod; first, to single out expose and denbunce all
who seek to drag the profession into crime dsrepute
and secondly to tell the unfortunate who will we regret
to say exist as long as sin the EARTH where their
troubles may receive honest and competent treatment
is held in the belief of many that regular family doc
tors cannot consistently treat every contagious disease
Heads of families naturally feel adverse to having their
family physician do So and consequence the medical
profession has become divided However wrong or in
consistent this may be with scientific opinion the fact
exists and public sentiment may we suppose, be held
responsible.
Holding then that it was duty to find if possible
some reliable medical office where the unfortunate can
who sails under no fictitious name and who is response
BILE for his acts, reporter made examination of
some twenty of the principal Offices yesterday morning
but found with single exception place that seemed
TO guarantee any reliability medical skill There
in almost every instance fraud swnde connected
with the office. Either the doctor only hotel
porter with some deceased physicians dry
goods clerk with similar fictitious title. 1t seemed
some time that there was not reliable medical insti
tute' in the city,
At last reporter entered the Morrill, Medical Insti
tute where he found the Doctor Frederick Morrill, will
ling, indeed desirous to have his mode of treatment
thoroughly investigated This seemed vastly different
from the other doctors he had called on They all pro.
tested against any attempt investigation and in many
instances ordered HIM to leave the Office Not So how
ever, with DR.. Morrill, He courted the most thorough
scrutiny This reporter proceeded to make in COM
pany with dsinerested Citizen and after making every
possible inquiry and observation he states that there
one place where all classe' of complaints and diseases
are treated by an upright and honest physcan that
place is the Morrill, Medical Institute" where Dr. F.
Morrill, old and competent doc or graduate Of the
Medical University at Philadelphia, is constantly at.
tendance 1t is singular fact that our reporter has
heard tangible stories against the doctor although
every quack in the city is bitterly opposed to him. prob
ably on account of his unprecedented success all
medical undertakings.
Dr. Morrill, does not treat by the job "quack"
doctors do. If person should ask him how much he
would charge to Ger tain disease, he will answer
THAT depends upon the stage and nature of the COM
plant" He has tabular list of prices with ten or
twenty dollars set opposite certain private diseases
much after the style OF hotel bill of fare but treats all
complaints on the same principle of regular family
physician which he justly claims to be. We are conf
dent that Dr. Morrill, honest business where any
man may trust his without fear of imposition, or
where any lady will receive competent treatment for all
her complaints for reasonable compensation. No
shadow OF Legitimate unlawful treatment ever cloud
ed the Doctors reputation and persons desiring such
need not apply to him. DIR. Morrill, has had long and
successful experience in his peculiar line of treatment
which includes nearly all complaints TO which Heshis
heir His remedies very consistent his cures are
his best recommendation. His ofceis at No As Howard
