A representative of this paper lille
lounging in the lobby of a prominent New
York hotel, met a gentleman whom he had
known years before in the city OF Detroit.
but whom he had not seen before for a num-
Der of years. When the knight Of the quill
had last seen this gentleman, he was giving
his entire time md attention to an extensive
medical practice, and was on the crest of the
wave of popularity. From Detroit he re-
moved To New YORK where he could ind a
more extensive neld for his talents n ex-
perience. Although several years had passed
the doctors physical condition had evideni-
ly been very much improved. for he was
looking much better than when tho man'of

talk, the doctor. fell into an easy train of con-
yersation and uttered some truths 30 scien-

Certainly it is: 1t is way outside OF our
code of ethics, bur l nave grown far beyond
the code. Ihave all 1 can attend To, and am

exact formula, such as physicians
are using every day. You see the code is
established and sustained by old physicians,
like myself who make the rules aud insist
upon their enforcement in order to keep the
younger doctors from obtaining a foothold
and encroaching upon the already estab,

largely the reason why young physicians
