in ed torials calling attention to the
universal success the treatment is
meeting with in crushing out the
deadly disease and in praise of the
mapliness shown by the majority of
the medical profe sion in SO promptly

DR.. Amick has not as yet disclosed his

press of the country have nothing but
the severest censure for the few mar
row-minded conservatives in the medi-
cal profession who, while ackuowledg-
ing themselves utterly unable TO bene-
tit, not to say cure. the poor consump.
tive, refuse TO prescribe the life-giying
medicines, giving as 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 editorally:
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
iuch. DR.. Amick of Cincinnati has
discovered remedy for consumption
lie is very free to furnish his medi-
cines to other physicians, and accord,
ing to reports. apparently well
authenticated, his remedies have
proved very etiicacious. A committee
OF physicians went to Cincinnati
few days ago to investigate the matter
and were convinced that DR.. Amick
had made valuable discovery, but
one of the physicians charged that
DIR. Amick was guilty Of unprofessonal
conduct: in other words, that he had
violated the code of ethics. DR.. Amick
is regular physician of good stand
ing in the community and has been in
good standing with his confreres 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..
Amick, who has acquired a great deal
of celebrity of late bv his success

had his cure investigated by and at

Cleveland. OF ten almost hopeless

The Minneapolis Times, after refer
