fectlous.

The press OF the entire country arc awak-
ening 10 the vital importance OF the recently
discovered cure for consumption. The most
influential newspapers north, south, cast and
west unite In editorials calling attention to
the universal success the treatment Is meet
ing 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 DR.. Amick has not rs yet disclosed his for
mulae. Without an exception the press OF
the country have nothing but the sevcre'
censure for the few narrowmiudcd conserra-
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 lifc-giving
medicines, giving as their only reason that
Amick violates their code OF ethics In not
making public his formulae for fools to tam
per with. The Louisville Commercial says
editorially: "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 ns such. DR.. Amck
OF Cincinnati has discovered q remedy for
consumption. He Is very FREQ to furnish his
medicines TO other physicians, and according
10 reports. apparently we'll authenticated, his
remedies have proved very enicaclous. A
committee Of physicians went 10 Cincinnati n
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 unpro-
fcssional conduct; In other words, that ho
had violated the code OF ethics. DR.. Amick
is q regular physician Of good standing In the
community and has been In good standing
with his confreres 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: Dr.Amick.
who has acquired great deal Of celebrity Of
late by his successful treatment Of phthisis.
has recently had his cure investigated by and
At the instgation of the newspapers OF Cleyc-
land. OF ten almost hopeless cases which
were selected only one died, two were pro-
nounced cured. four showed marked imrroya
mcnt, and three were much improved. In all
cases there was m increase in weight, and
the subjects had only been under treatment
for two months. The physicians who
watched the coursc Of treatment all expressed
themselves Ms satisfied with the cure md tcs-
;ilied as TO the great value OF the discovery.
But n number OF doctors who were Inter
viewed accused DIR. Amick Of ''violating the
CODE" He has made one Of the most won
dcrful and valuable discoveries ever hopcl
for IN medicine, but he refuses 10 give tho
formulne to every Tom, Dick and Harry 10
monkey with, and he therefore violates the
cole. 1t Ia q noteworthy fact that the major
ity of physicians who have SO much to say
about the "code" never accomplish anything
OF note, but feel satisfied II only they have
kept their senselcss fetich from rude viola
ton. Fortunately the public, which gives
the physician his support, desn't care iig
for tho scode,n and is nlwnys ready and will
ing to give honor and credit to the man who
discovers any thing that v Ill alleviate the suf-
ferings OF humanity, whether he keeps Lis
formiiae to himself or gives 1t freely away
for quacks to pick up and use In their busl-
ness.
The Minneapolis Times, after referring edf-
torially TO the action OF the state board OF
health Of Michigan In placing consumption
on the list OF infectious diseases, recommends
the Amick treatment, because "thirty or
more physicians In the city are using the
medicines compounded by DIR. Amick In their
practice and are OF the opinion that the med
icines accomplish more than the discorerer
claims. 1t may be that q reliable cure has
b. en- found but II not that II seems certain
that help has been introduced which great
ly assists the fight against this enemy OF hu-
man life."
To Isolate Consumptives.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 1.-THE action
of the County Medical Society In asking the
board OF health TO isolate consunptives has
Increased their fears occasioned by startling
headlines In a 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 everywhere
during the past year, and DIR. Fleck, with
few others, a.crbes this to his isolation the
ory Medical experts investigating deeper,
however, say 1t 10 due TO the Amick:cure, free
test packages OF which are distributed broad
cast 10 all consumptives through physicians.
One authority says: "The doctors talking
isolation could better devote their attention
10 the authcntic cures by the Cincinnati treat
ment reported daily in the medical and secu-
lar pre.s.p
MINNEApoLIs, Oct. 14.-Reccnt editorials
in the local press on the Amick cure for con-
sumption have excited ultra-conservative doe
tors The Times says: '.1t seems reasonably
certain it will greatly assist the fight against
the enemy OF human life, for thirty or more
local physicians say the medicines accom-
plsbed more than the discoverer claimed"
The Journals editorial after saying sit Is one
of the most valuable and wonderful discover
les ever hoped for In medical science. con-
graduates humanity that the formulae Is not
given to every Tom, Dick or Harry to monkey

fool empiricists." The doctors say the edi-
toriais are direct blows against tho medical
