The Minneapolis Journal says: Dr.Amicsi

has recently had his cure Investigated BY and

watched the course of treatment all expressed
themselves as satisfied with the cure and tes-

But u number Of doctors who were inter
ricwed accused DR.. Amlck Of violating the
code" He has made one OF the most won.
drrful and valuable discoveries ever hoped
for In medicine, but he refuses to give the
formulse to every Tom, Dick and Harry tc

code. 1t is noteworthy fact that the major
ity OF physicians who have 20 much TO SAY
nbout the ''code" never accomplish anything
OF note, but feel satisfied II only they have
kept their sensclcss fetch from rude viola
ton. Fortunately the public, which gives
the physician his support, desn't care iig
for the "code," and b always ready and Will

The Minneapolis Times, after referring edi-
torially TO the action of the state board OF
health of Michigan in placing consumption
on the list Of infectious discaees, recommends
tho Amick treatment, because thirty OF
more physicians In the city are using the
medicines compounded By DR.. Amlck In their

To Isolate ConsumptiveL
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct 1.-THE acticn
OF the County Medical Society in asking the
board Of health 10 Isolate consumptlvcs has
Increased their fears occasioned by startling
headlines in local paper by the resolution
OF medical congress In Washington and by
the state legislature OF Michigan all declaring
the deadly disease infectious. The deaths
from consumption have decreased every where
during tho past year, and DIR. Flcck, with
few Others nscribes this to his isolation tho
ory. Medical experts Investigating deeper,
however, say 1t Is due to the Amick.curc, free
lest packages Of which are distributed broad
cast 10 all consumptives through physlclsns.
One authority says; "Thc doctors talking
isolation could better devote their attention
to the authentic curcs by the Cincinnati treat
ment reported daily In the medical and secu-
lar press.n
MIsSEApoLIs, Oct A.-Recent editorials
In tho local press on the Amick cure for con-
sumption have excited ultra-conservativc doc
tors. The Timer says: sit scems reasonably
certain It will greatly assist the fight against
lie enemy OF human life, for thirty or more
local physIclans say tho medicines accom-
lplished more than the discoverer clnimed."
The Journals editorial after saying at is one
III tho most valuable and wonderful discover
lies ever hoped for in medical science, con-
GRADUATES humanity that the formnlae Is not
given to every Tom, Dick or Harry TO monkey
with and Ia preserved from the tampering OF
iool empiriclsta." The doctors say the edi-
torials are direct blows against the medical
code Of ethics.
