In to-day's DEMOCRAT will be
found the resolutions adopted at the
| Saturdays meeting of the Rapides
Medical Association. The measures
thus taken, though they may seem
to be out of place by some of our peo-
pie, have been brought about by the
poor manner in which the medical fra
te1nity of this Parish have been remu-
nerated for services rendered. These
resolutions they adopted for their self
protection, finding it the only alterna-
tive in the matter. For their actions
in this regard, neither will we censure
or blame them in the least. The Er-
press and Tom Talk are requested to
publish the resolutions adopted.
