MEDICAL ETHICS.
The Duty of Doctors Concerning Patients
Known to Be EelOns.

known to Be Fslons.
circular has recently been issued by
Pinkerton's National Detective Agency,
asking each physician who receives copy
to give information to the agency in case
suspicious person should come to him for
treatment of a gunshot wound OF the jaw.
1t seems that burglars entered the residence
of the cashier of the Farmers Bank of New
Castle, Del, where the bank is also located,
and attempted to overpower the cashier
and his family. A fight ensued, and the
cashier shot and wounded one Of the burg
lars The ball is supposed to have entered
the mouth OF the burglar, shattering the
jawbOne and carrying away with it por-
zion of the bone--a piece of which has been
found in the blood which came from the
wound, and experts pronounce it part OF
the jawbone.
The detective agency wishes the co-Opera-
ton OF medical men in securing the appre-
hens on OF this criminal, and We hope they
may have it
AS rule, physicians should religiousiy
guard the secrets of their patients, and
especially when to reve Il them would eX-

from justice. A man who bre lks into the
house OF keeper Of other peoples moneys,
and makes an attempt upon his life III
order to complete felony, is an outlaw,
and Whatever pity any man or any ply

counteracted by the pity he feels for every
law-ab.ding citizen. When the conse-
quences of his crime bring dangerous
Criminal to the notice of medical man we
hold it to be a duty that the latter should

FROM A HIGH AUTHORITY.

DIR. n. s. Davis on the Professional ana
Family Use of Alcoholic stimulnnts.
Mr.. Edwin Higgins, president of the
Maryland State Temperance Alliances,
recently addressed an inquiry to DR.. n
S. Davis, of Chicago. in regard to q
newspaper report. DR.. Davis is one of
the ablest medical authorities and most
successful practitioners IN the country.
and presided over the recent Inter-
national Medical Congress at Washing
ton. He sent the following letter:
EDWIN HIGGINS. EsQ.-Dear Str:
Your letter of the 10th inst. is received.
What l did say at the Temperance
Breakfast in Brighton. Eng, August.
1866. was that had practiced medicine
continuously fifty years. and that dur
ing the last forty years l had not pre-
scribed or directed for internal use
enough of any kind of fermented and
distilled drinks to fill pint cup The
fact is, it is many years since alto
gether abandoned the use of all forms
of alcoholic drink in the treatment Of
disease, and with positive benefit to my
patients. In regard to substitutes for
family use in emergencies. spirits CAM
phor, aromatic spirits of ammonia, tea.
coffee, are almost always at hand, and
are more efficient for all proper pur-
poses for which alcoholic liquors are
usually resorted to in families.
Yours truly, N. S. DAVIS"

NO SUPPRESSION OF FACTS.
Maine Prohibtionists May Have Access to
the Internal Revenue Records.

Maine Prohibitionists May Have Access to
the Internal Revenue Records.
In connection with the enforcement
of the prohibitory law of Maine is q
cheering report from Washington made
public few days ago. There has for
a long time been a contest between the
Prohibitionists of Maine and the Inter-
nal Revenue Collector for that State,
Mr.. Page, rs to the right of the former
to examine the list of liquor-dealers
licensed under Federal laws. The
Prohibitionists have claimed that Col
lector Page has placed obstacles in
their way, in violation of law. Mr..
Page first took the ground that no one
outside the office had right to see the
list, but the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue on an appeal to him ordered
his subordinate to exhibit it. Then
when he found persons copying it he
took the ground that they could not do
this. and he obstructed inspection by
taking the lists away for so-called Off
cial use, going so far as to send them
to United States District Attorney Bird
at Portland, where they were kept sew
eral days. Citizens of Maine who were
denied the privilege of examining
them telegraphed the facts to Congress
men Ding1ey. He brought the matter
to the attention of Commissioner Mil
Ter who has decided the points raised
as follows, and they are of interest in
all States:
l. That the list must be kept for pub
lie inspection. including copying in the
collectors Office during Office hours.
subject only to reasonable temporary
actual official uses. 2. In making up
this list the Secretary. under the head
of place" must give the street and
number where the tax payer proposes
to do business, If the streets of the
place have names and numbers. 8.
The list must give the names of the
persons who have paid special taxes.
As in many cases Collector Pages lists
of the city liquor-dealers omit the street
and number and are otherwise defec-
tive, it is supposed he will be directed
to fill out his lists in accordance with
these requirements.

ANTl-POVERTY,

What Enforced Prohibition Has Already
Done in Maine, Kansas and Elsewhere.
By careful research and fortified by
unquestioned testimony we find that:
1t has made liquor selling disgrace.
1t has greatly modified the drinking
habits of young men.
1t has greatly reduced the number of
saloons.
1t has shut up the distilleries and
breweries.
1t has largely reduced the amount of
drunkenness.
1t has virtually relieved the commun-
ity of tramps and vagrants.
1t has increased the demand for Ia
Dor.
1t has greatly reduced the taxes.
1t has added largely to the value Of
all kinds of property.
1t has nearly emptied the jails, pris-
ons and poorhouses.
1t has greatly reduced the amount of
sickness.
1t has greatly reduced the number of
railroad, steamboat, and other acci-
dents.
1t has elevated the moral character
of the people.
1t has largely diminished litigation.
1t has contributed to the attendance
at churches.
1t has increased the attendance at
the schools.
1t has greatly increased savings
bank deposits and banking capital.
1t has reduced the criminal cases be-
fore the court over 50 per cent. and
crime of all kinds, including murders
and violence. have diminished more
than Is per cent.
1t has added greatly to the volume of
trade, including the demand for wear
ing apparel, pianos, sewing-machines,
carpets, furniture, ETC.. ETC., also in
creasing railroad traffic.
In fact, all branches of business have
had a greatly increased prosperity, and
the people have better security for their
lives, homes and property.
The above positively, clearly and un-
answerably prove that when prohibi-
ton of the liquor traffic becomes gener-
al in both State and Nation, drunken
ness, poverty and crime will be almost
unknown in the community, and the
promised glorious good time will have
come for the country. May God speed
the day, and each citizen realize his
personal responsibility for its consum-
acknowledgements Monthly.
