minds long ago that they needed no code
whatever by which to regulate their profess

\ their own business without the advice of
| their brethren in Oshkosh. The time has
gone by when such trivaties as are to be
found in tho old code can be reasonably TAX
en- notice of by the profession. The ar.u-
mcnts against the new code centre simply on
the question of consultation. at is said,'

DIR. Roosa's remarks were greeted with

a homeopatb, and never shall.
Dr. Andrew ii. Smith said the result OF
the old code was that when the patient of u
homTopa,ist desired to have, say, DIR. Austin
Flint called in to consult in his case, the dog.
matist could say to him, "Dr. Flint won't
consult with me. lie won't see you unless
you dismiss me- In nine cases out of ten

DIR. Smith, 'to take the dogmatsts into part.
