The bress 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 is
meeting with in crushing out the
deadly disease and in praise of the
manliness shown by the majority of
the medical profession i'm SO promptly
accepting it, regardless OF the fact that
Dr. Anick has not as yet disclosed his
formulate. Without an exception the
press OF the country have nothing hut
the severest censure for the few mar
row-minded conservatives in the med
zeal profession who, while acknowledge
ing themselves utterly unable to bene-
fit, not TO say cure, the poor consump-
tive, refuse to prescribe the life-giving
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 editorialy:
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 IL
such. DIR. AmiclS, of Cincinnati, has
discovered n remedy for consumption.
lie is very free TO furnish his medi-
cines to other physicians, and accord
ing TO reports, apparently we'll
authenticated, his remedies have
proved very eflicacious. A committee
of physicians went 10 Cincinnati
few days ago TO investigate the matter
and were convinced that DR.. AmiclI
had made n valuable discovery, but
one of the physicians charged that
Dr. Amick was guilty of unprofessional
conduct: in other words, that he had
+ violated the code of ethics DR.. Amick
is regular physician vi good stand
ing in the community and has been in
good standing with his confrcres Of
medicine, and even if he has violated
the code of ethics the laws of Ohio can
not be used against him.
The Minneapolis journal says: DIR.
Amick, who has acquired great deal
of celebrity of late by his success
full treatment OF phthisis, has recently
had his cure Investigated by and at
the instigdtion of the newspapers of
Cleveland. OF ten almost hopeless
cases which were selected only one
died, two were pronounced cured, four
showed marked imprUveme Mt. and
three were much improved. In all
eases there was an increase in weight,
and the subjects had been only under
treatment for two months. TIE ohy-
sicians who watched the Course Of
treatment all expressed themselves as
satisfied with the cure and testi-
aal hl e
the discovery. Bat a number
of doctors who were interviewed ac-
cuscd DR.. Amick of "vio ating the
code" lie has made one of the most
wonderful and valuable discoveries
ever hoped for in medicine, but he re-
fuses To give the formulate TO every
Tom, Dick and Harry TO monkey with,
and he therefore violates the code. 1t
is a noteworthy fact that the majority
of physicians who have so much to say
about the "code" never accomplish
anything of note, but feel satisfied if
only they have kept their senseiess
fetch from rude violation. Forum
ately the public, which gives the physl-
clan his support, doesn't care fig for
the code" and is always ready and
willing to give honor and credit TO the
man who discovers anything that will
alleviate the sutferings of humanity,
whether he keeps his formulate to him
self or gives it freely away for quacks to
pick up and use in their business.
The Minneapolis Times, after refer
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 DR..
Amiclx in their practice and are of the
opinion that the medicines accomplish
more than the discoverer claims. 1t
may be that a reliable cure has been
found but if not that it seems certain
that help has been introduced which
greatly assists the fight against this
enemy of human life
To Isolate Consumptives.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct 1.-THE
action of the County Medical society
in asking the board of health TO iso-
late consumptives has increased their
1 fears occasioned by startling head
lines in local paper by the resolution
of the medical congress in Washington
and by the state legislature of Mlchi-
/ gan all declaring the deadly disease

ing the past year, and DIR. Feck, with
few others, ascribes this to his iso-

vestigating deeper, however, say 1T is
due TO the Amick cure, free test pack
ages of which are distributed broad
cast to all consumptives through physi-
cans. One authority says: The doctors
talking isolation could better devote
their attention to the authentic cures
by the Cincinnati treatment reported
daily in the medical and secular press"
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 14.-Recent edi-
torials in the local press on the AmiclI
cure for consumption have excited
ultra-conservative doctors. The Times
says: at seems reasonably certain it
will greatly assist the fight against
the enemy of human life, for thirty or
more local physicians say the medicine
accomplished more than the discoverer
claimed" The Journals editorial
