DOCTORS May
CHANGE THE CODE
The Question Of Regulars Con-
su|ting With |rregulars May
Come Up To-Day.

Among the Richmond physicians who
go to-day to Newport News to attend
the annual meeting Of the Medical Society
of Virginia there has been some mention
OF the possibility of the question touch
ing the change Of code coming up for
discussion and decision at this time This
new code" as it is termed by the reg
ulars." If adopted by the State Society,
would change the ethics of the profess
sion, in that it would permit consulta-
tons between physicians practicing diff
fcrent methods. According to the "old
code now in effect, a regular" may
net consult with any other. Whether
this matter will come up is not known.
and should it engage the societys atten-
ton it will be because the National Med
zeal Society has left this matter for each
State to determine for itself. The i'm
preston, however in Richmond: and ac
cortling to doctors here, throughout the
State generally, is that the "old code"
50 long honored and revered by the Mes
tors of the profession will continue in
force
Much interest is always exhibited in
what is known as the general discussion,
and in accordance with the custom of this
organization the object for general dis
cussion is selected at the annual meet
ing one year in advance. The subject
chosen for this meeting is "Puerperal

ed to take part in the discussion.
There is one physician in Richmond
who has never been absent from the
meetings OF this society. and he is DR..

ago The physicians who assembled in
Richmond on that date elected him their

has continuously filled to the present time.
