The press of the entire country are
awakening to the vital Importance of
the recently discovered cure for con-
sumption. The most influential news
papers north, south, east and west
unite in editorials calling attention to
the universal success the treatment il
meeting with in crushing out the dead
~ disease and in praise of tc nanli-
ness shown by the majority of the
medical profession in SO promptly ac-
cepting 1t, regardless of the fact that
DR. Amick has not as yet disclosed his
formula. Without an exception the
press of the country have nothing but
the sevcrcst censure for the few mar
row-minded conservatives In the medical
profession who, while acknowledging
themselves utterly unable to benefit,
not to say cure, the poor consumptivc,
refuse to perscribc the lifc-giving medi-
zines, giving rs their only reason that
AmiclS violates their code of ethics in
not making public his formula for
fools to tampcr with. The Louisville
Commercial says editorially: "rhe
code of ethics among physicians, like
the social code among club men, may
be advantageous, but the law does no.
recognize either and cannot properly
be used To enforce either AS such. DIR.
Amicl Of Cincinnati has discovered u
remedy for consumption. lie Is very
free To furnish his medicines To other
physicians, and according To reports,
apparently well authenticated, his
remedies have proved very eilicacious.
A committee of physicians went to Gin
cinnati II few days ago to investigate
the matter and We're convinced that
DR. Amick had made II valuable discov-
cry, but one of the physicians charged
that Dir. Amick WAS guilty of unpro-
fessional conduct; in other words, that
he had violated the code of ethics. DIR.
AmiclS il n regular physician of good
Standing in the community and has
been in good standing with his CON
ferries of medicine, and even II he has
violated the code Of ethics the laws Of
Ohio cannot be used against him"
The Minneapolis Journal says: DIR.
Amich, who has acquired great deal
of celebrity of late by his successful
treatment of phthisis, has recently had
his cure investigated by and ut the in
stigation of the newspapers of Glove
land. OF ten almost hopeless eases
which were selected only one died, two
were pronounced cured four showed
marked improvement, and three We're
much improved. In all eases there
was mn increase In weight, and the
subjects had only been under treatment
for Two months. The physicians who
watched the course of treatment all cx-
pressed themselves as satisfied with the
cure and testified M 10 the great value
of the discovery. But u number OF the
doctors who were interviewed accused
DR. Amick Of violating the code" lie
hns made one of the most wonderful
and valuable discoveries ever hoped
for in medicine, but he refuses tG give
the formula to every Tom, Dick and
Harry To monkey with, and he there
fore violates the code. IL IN II note
worthy fact that the majority of ply
sicians who have SO much to say about
the code" never accomplish anything
of note but feel satisfied il only they
have kept their scnseless fetch from
rude violation. Fortunately the pub
lie, which gives the physician his sup
port, doesn't care fly for the code
and is always ready and willing to give
honor and credit To the man who dis
covers anything that will alleviate the
sufferings of humanity, whether he
keeps his formula To himself or gives
IL freely away for quacks ~ pick up
and use in their business.
The Minneapolis Times, after refer
ring cditorinlly To the action of the
state board of health of Michigan in
placing consumption on the list Of in
fictitious diseases, recommends the
AmclS treatment, because thirty or
more physicians in the city are using
the medicines compounded by DIR.
AmclS in their practice and are of the
opinion that the medicines accomplish
more than the discoverer claims IL
may be that u reliable cure has been
found but IL not that IL seems certain
that help has been introduced which
greatly assists the fight against this
enemy of human life"
TO ISOLATE CoNsuMprIvEs.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 1.-THE
action of the County Medical Society
in asking the board of health TO isolate
consumptives has increased their fears
occasioned by startling headlines in n
local paper by the resolution of the
medical congress in Washington and by
the state legislature of Michigan all
declaring the deadly disease infectious.
The deaths from consumption have de-
creased everywhere during the past
year, and DR. Flcck, with few others,
ascribes this TO his isolation theory
Medical experts investigating deeper,
however, say it is due 10 the Amick
cure, free test packages of which are
distributed broadcast To all consump-
tives through physicians. One author
| ity says: "The doctors talking isola-
| tion could better devote their attention
| to the authentic cures by the Cincinnati
treatment reported daily in the med
zeal and secular press"
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. li.--Recent cdi-
| torials in the local press ON the Amick
cure for consumption have excited
ultra-conservative doctors. The Times
| says: 1T seems reasonably certain 1t
will greatly assist the fight against the
enemy of human life, for thirty or more
local physicians say the medicine ac-
complished more than the discoverer
claimed" The Journals editorial,
after saying lit is one Of the most val
liable and wonderful discoveries ever
hoped for in medical science, congrat-
ulates humanity that the formula is
not given to every Tom, Dick or Harry
to monkey with and is preserved from
the tampering of fool empiricists"
The doctors say the editorials are di-
rect blows against the medical code OF
