DEMOCRATIC ANNOUNCEMENTS:
GRATITUDE as A PART or
MEDICAL ETHICS.

Elsewhere in this issue we
comment on the lack of gratitude
displayed towards physicians by
those who benefit by medical
care and skill. The physician
first remembered in sickness the
last thought of in health-is pro
badly one of the greatest suffer
ers from human ingratitude. 1t
is rather odd, therefore, that
from this experience he does not
entertain that fellow feeling
which makes one W0ndrOus kind.
For his much Wanted medical
ethics forces him to the display of
ingratitude to the press, which
has more to do with the making of
regulations than any one other
agent. Indirectly all physicians
profit therefrOm, but because a
dictum of medical ethics bids
them beware of the unclean
thing" they do SO to the extent
of unwarranted and ridiculous
ingratitude.
A case in point arises: The
N. O. Morning World has been
Waging a fierce war on the
Quacks that infest that city-a
noble crusade indeed. Medical
societies are passing resolutions
of approval of the World. But
that journal in the course of it's
exposures happened to mention
the name of New Orleans spe-
ciallSt, to whom the victim OF q
quack had applied for and re-
ceivcd relief. The skilled medi-
co was out Of town, but some one
called it to his attention. that
his name had been mentioned in
the public prints with reference
(hOrrors) TO q cure, and the medi-
co writes at once to disclaim any
connection with the case and to
inveigh against the mention of
his name as implying breach of
medical ethics. In other words,
gratitude in the aggregate is
strictly ethical, but decidedly
wrong in the individual.

Quips and Fancies.

The convention of Mothers
Clubs at Shreveport gave their
first honors as usual, for activity,
to an unmarried woman. Old
maids are the only women who
have time to study out what
mothers should do.
Buy at home" If we had a
dollar for every time we have
given this advice to our people
we would have money enough to
send off and get all our supplies
as they do for their stationery.
If / were a teacher again [
would as a fundamental lesson
to children on honesty teach
them the sacredness of obliga-
ton. 1t is an exalted form of
the Golden Rule: When others
have done good unto you, do We
even so to them. 1t would seem
a natural human impulse to re-
pay kindness shown. But not
so. Ask doctors who give more
than mere medical skill; good
cheer and comfort and hope-or
maybe true sympathy-to all of
the household as well as their
patients. Is the kindness re-
membered? Let the unpaid bills
of the physician answer!
The lawyer, who gave his best
of legal lore, nights and days of
requited study to his client, is
he remembered? Let his blight
ed political hopes answer.
The artist and the artisan,
who freely give their taste as
we'll as their skill, what reward
is theirs? The skill is paid for,
the talent, the genius is not re-
Warded even with words of
praise.
The country editor, who goes
out of his way, to boost a fellow
toWnsman's business or candi-
dacy, is he repaid? Let the num-
berless instances in which work
could have been thrown his way,
and was not for a dollars differ
ence in the price, answer!
To repeat, every child should
be taught the sacredness of obi
CATION. Every kindness shown
is to be paid back some day, some
how. Only thus can human be-
ing be truly honest in their deal
ings with each other.
