Syracuse. jan 13 CspeoiaD.-Taking UP The
question OF division Of fees among physlciaiS
and surgeons and intimating that there Is
grating in the profession. Or. T H Halsted'
retiring president Of the Syracuse Academy OF
Medicine in his annual address before the Acad-
envy on Tuesday night. said:
There Is going on all over the United States
to-day a searching investigation into the bust
ness methods Of the country. SO far as they
have gone the revelations have been sicEeninS

and honesty OF business methods. and partlc-
ularly so in the case OF those persons ana lnsn-
tutions occupying iduciary position
AT the present time when a great war IN
volving the fundamental principles Of morality
is only just preparing, il is incumbent upon ana
IL is the duty Of every individual and every
organization TO make deep investigation OF ms
and ats principles and actions. and be ready TO
take stand on side or the other. Ours IS
one of the great professions. numbering at least
10000 members, and occupying a position OF
trust and confidence toward the whole So.oCO'OOo
people OF this country. Tho people who give US
so frankly their confidence have right to know
directly from us exactly where We stand on this
question occupying the thought 81 every serl-
Gus minded citizen Of this Republic
Before Joining in the universal condemnation
OF the methods pursued by the Standard OH
Company, the father OF the present condition.
and Of the insurance companies and other ex-
ploiters of the people. let us first do some house
cleaning so as TO be ready TO unite with the
great mass OF the genera! public In overthrow
ing this perncious system so destructive OF
character and morals.
Unless energetic and radical measures be
taken TO prevent it. there Will soon exist a wide
spread suspicion of the integrity Of the Whole
medical profession. If dishonest methods are
being practised liz the business dealings of doc
tors with their patients. or between doctors at
the expense Of the patient. then, If VIC know

AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE.

Now. what of the surgeon. consultant or spe-
cialist who divides the fee pays the commits

vantage of his colleagues because he is compet-
ing with them. not basis of professional
skill. character and attainments. they sup
pose. but he Is secretly and actually payipg
money to other physicians to have their cases
referred to him and diverted from his more
ethical colleagues who expect recognition upon
their professional merits alone. He appeals to
the selfish and financial interests OF the general
practitioner. This is shrewd method Of appeal
to- many men. even in profession. II is an
easy and rapid method OF getting into a lucra-
tive practice. but 1t has its disadvantages There
IS not the stimulus 70 do ones best work because
practice comes too easily. and in time his poor
work alone tells on his reputation.
Then such a man thinks too much OF what
his fee is TO be: his Judgment gets warped and
before he knows II he firds himself in the mer-
tai habit OF wondering how much money can
he gather from the patient. rather than what is
the best thing TO do for him. He operates both

must frequently be in doubt as to how much
reliance can be placed-with safety To the pa
