connection with DIR. w. L. Maupin-
claiming that he held no consultation
with the said DR.. Maupin after learn
ing that he (Maupin) vas not in good
professional standing and was not
recognized by the regular profession.
He was not willing to compromise
his relation with the profession in
order to retain the friendship of DR..
Maupin. After a full hearing of both
sides, DIR. Lee offered the following:
Resolved, That il is the sense of
this society, taking the statements
of both the prosecuting witnesses,
and that of DR.. Broome himself, whose
truth we cannot deny-that we hold
DR.. Broone not guilty of unprofes-
sional department in his intercourse
with DR.. Maupin-but that we I'M
quaiitiedly condemn DIR. Maupiu as
having departed from the true pro-
fessional department in dealing in
secret remedies, and fully justify and
sustain the medical faculty of Column
bia in withholding their recognition
of DR.. Maupin rs M worthy ofsuch
recognition. Considerable discus
sion ensued; after which the resolu-
ton w6s substituted by the follow
ing:
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this society, taking the statements
of both the prosecuting witnesses
and DR.. Broome himself; the truth of
all of which we cannot deny-that
Dr.Broome did not, by his intercourse
with DR.. Maupin, (whom we regard
of not good professional standiEg)
Intentionally, violate the Code OF
Ethics by which This society is gov
erned-yet the spirit of the action is
such as may be used by unprofcssion-
al mel to prejudice the claims of the
real profession with the public mind
and thus indirectly cast reproach
upon the dignity and honor of our
noble profession. The society then,
would simply recommend DIR. G. w.
Broome to exercise more care in this
regard in the future. Adopted, and
