MUST CONSERVATIVES BE ISOLATED 7

in editorials calling attention to the
universal success the treatment is
meeting with in crushing out the
deadly disease and in praise OF the
manliness shown by the majority OF
the medical profession in so promptly
accepting it, regardless OF the fact that
DIR. Amick has not as yet disclosed his
formulate. Without an exception the
press OF the country have nothing but
the severest censure for the few mar
row-minded conservatives in the medi-
cal profession who, while acknowledge
ing themselves utterly unable to benS-
it, not to say cure, the poor consump-
tive, refuse to prescribe the life-giving
medicines, giving us their only reason
that Amick violates their code OF
ethics in not making public his formu-
lac for fools to tamper with. The
Louisville Commercial says editorially;
1.-The code of ethics among physicians,
like the social code among club men,
may be advantageous, but the law
does not recognize either and cannot
properly be used to enforce either as
such. DR.. Amick of Cincinnati has
discovered a remedy for consumption.
He is very free to furnish his medi-
cines to other physicians, aud accord
ing to reports, apparently we'll anthem
ticated, his remedies have proved
very eficacious. A committee of
physicians went to Cincinnati n few
days ago to investigate the matter.
and we're convinced that DR.. Amick
had made valuable discovery, but
one of the physicians charged that
DR.. Amick was guilty Of unprofe
sional conduct, in other words that he
had violated the code of ethics. DR..
Amicl5 is regular physician of good
standing in the community and has
been in good standing with his con-
freres OF medicine, and even if he has
violated the code of ethics the laws OF
Ohio cannot be used against him."
The Minneapolis journal says: Dr.
AmiclS, who has required great deal
OF celebrity of late 10y his successful
treatment of phthisis, has recently
had his cure investigated by and at
the instigation OF the newspapers of
Cleveland. OF ten almost hopeless
cases which were selected only one
died, two were pronounced cured.
four showed marked improvement,
and three were much improved. In
all cases there was an increase in
weight, and the subjects had been
only under treatment for two months.
The physicians who watched the
course of treatment all expressed
themselves as satisfied with the cure
and testified as to the great value
OF the discovery. But number
of doctors who were interviewed ac-
cused DIR. Amick of violating the
CODE He has made one of the most
wonderful and valuable discoveries
ever hoped for in medicine, but he re-
fuses to give the formula to every
Tom, Dick and Harry to monkey with,
and he therefore violates the code. 1t
is noteworthy fact that the majority
of physicians who have so much to say
/ about the "coden never accomplish
anything of note, but feel satisfied il
only they have kept their senseless
fetch from rude violation, For
tunately the public, which gives the
physician his support, doesn't care a
| fig for the "code,n and is always ready
and willing to give honor and credit to
the man who discovers anything that
will alleviate the sufferings of human
ity, whether he keeps his formula to
himself or gives it freely away for
quacks to pick up and use in their
business.
Tho NIipnaono1ie Tipas oftar ra far-
ring editorially to the action of the
state board of health of Michigan in
placing consumption on the list OF in
fictitious diseases, recommends the
Amick treatment, because thirty or
more physicians in the city are using
the medicines compounded by DIR.
Amlck in their practice and are OF the
opinion that the medicines accom-
plish more than the discoverer claims
1t may be that a reliable cure has beer
found but if not that it seems certain
that help has been introduced which
greatly assists the fight against this
enemy of human life.
