that Dr.Amick has not as yet disclosed his for
mulae. Without an exception tho press OF
the country have nothing but the severe,
censure for the few narrow-minded conserva-
tives In the medical profession who, while
acknowledging themselves utterly unable to
benefit, not TO say cure, the poor consump-
tive, refuse to prescribe the llfe-glving
medicines, giving as thelf only reason that
Amlck violates their code Of ethics In not
making public his formulate for fools TO tam
pei with. The Louisville Commercial says
editoriaily: 1.-THE code OF ethics among
physicians, like the social code among club
men may DO advantageous, but tho law does
not recognise either and cannot properly be
used to enforce either as such. DR.. Amck
OF Cincinnati has discovered remedy for

10 REPORTS, apparently won autnchucutcu,, mrs
remedies have proved very eficacious A
committee Of physicians went TO Cincinnati a
few days ago to Investigate the matter and
were convinced thai. DR.. Amick had made
valuable discovery, but one OF the physicians
charged that DR., Amick was guilty OF unpro-
fessional conduct; In other words, that he
had violated the code Of ethics. DR.. Amick
Is regular physician Of good standing In the
community and has been In good standing
with his confrercs Of medicine, and even II
he has violated the code OF ethics the laws Of
Ohio cannot be used against HIM"
The Minneapolis Journdl says: DrAmick,
who has acquired great deal Of celebrity OF
late by his successful treatment Of phthi,is,
has recently had Ills cure Investigated by and
at the instigation Of the newspapers Of C!cve-
land. OF ten almost hopeless cases which
we're selected only one died, two were pro-
uounccd cured, four showed marked lmrrovc
mcnt, and three were much improved In all
ea-cs there was an increase IN weight, and
the subjects had only been under treatment
for two months. Tho physicians who
watched the course Of treatment all expressed
themselves as Satisfied with the cure and tes-
'ifcd Us to the great value Of the discovery.
But number of doctors who were inter
siewcd accused DR.. Anlck Of ''violatlng the
CODE" He has made one Of the most won
derful and valuable discoveries ever hoped
for IN medicine, but he refuses TO give the
formulate to every Tom, Dick and Harry &c
monkey with, and he therefore violates the
code. II Is a noteworthy fact that the major
ity Of physicians who have so much TO say
about the "codc" never accomplish anything
Of note, but feel satisfied II only they have
kept their senscless fetch from rude viola
ton. Fortunately the public, which gives
the physician his support, dcsn't care ny
for the "codc," and Is always ready and will
ing 10 give honor and credit To the man who
discovers anything that will alleviate the suf-
ferings of humanity, whether he Keeps Lis

for quacks 10 pick up and use in their busi
nes-.
The Minneapolis 7io.es, after referring cdl.
torially TO the action OF the state board OF
health Of Michigan In placing consumption
on the list OF infectious diseases, recommends
the Am!ck treatment, because ''ihiriy or
