DOCTORS TO FIGHT FRA TDS.
WILL BAND TOGETHER TO PROTECT
THEMSELVES FROM MALPRAC-
TICE SUIT SWINDLERS

Many physicians in this city think the time
is ripe for the formation of organization to
protect medical practitioners from being vic
tinlized by blackmailers. Many of the malprac-
tics suits that instituted against medical
men and women are the work of clever black
rnaers il is said, and deftly and skilfuy
are the details of the plot to mulct the person
chosen as the victim executed that the schem-
ers usually get what they want without the suit
being tried in the courts. To break down the
apparently strong plot that has been laid for
the purpose of getting money is a task from
which the victim almost bly, shrinks and
he usually pays without much ado the money
asked to keep himself from gaining any unde-
sirable notoriety.

protect medical men from being the defendants
