reportr has taken toward disclosing the criminal side of
the private practice ought TO receive the unqualified
approval of all good citizens, if bring the cuprits TO
the bar of justice. 1t undoubtedly will in some cases
But 1t must not be supposed that these articles

the malady would suffer in consequence and perhaps
extend its contagion 10 the veins OF pde and healthy
bodies. Our duty, then. in relation to This matter

who seek to drag the profession into dsrepute
and secondly to tell tine unfortunate wHoWl we regret
to say, exist long sin eah where their
troubles may receive honest and competent treatment

some reliable medical office where the unfortunate can
receive honest treatment by competent medical man
who sails under fictitious name and who is response.
