Doctors Who Advertise


while we have great respect for
the medical profession and for the
high purpose of the state medical
board in seeking, under the new law,
to raise the standards of learning
and skill in the profession, still 1t
occurs to us as rather a dangerous
proceeding for the board to under
take to discipline physicians who see
fit to advertise cures. To be sure,
no man unable to stand reasonable
examination ought to be permitted
to practice medicine under any cir
cumstances, but II man is fitted by
learning and character TO practice
the profession of medicine he ought
to be permitted to do SO without
prejudice.
Guaranteeing a cure for any dis
ease may be unethical, according to
the professional standards, but 1t is
no part Of the business Of law Off
GERS, such as the board of medical
examiners are, to undertake to pre-
scribe rules of ethics. Physicians
do make cures, and If man has the
confidence in himself and is fortifie /
by experience he has right to guar
antee a cure, and failing in his cure,
to suffer the penalty of the loss of
his guarantee and of injury to his
prestige.
If tie medical board may refuse
to issue license because physician
advertises cure. it may refuse to
issue license because a physician
advertises at all. 1t is the clear duty
of the board to be sure of the appli-
cants qualification, but 1t is no part

THE STOCK is TAKEN.
(From Saturdays Daily)

tfTom saturday Dally.)
There was rejoicing and general
feeling OF relief yesterday afternoon
when Chairman Sanborn, OF the citi-
zens' meeting, announced that the
last share OF the packing house stock
had been subscribed for.
There was good cause for both Joy
and relief. The task to raise $685.
900 on the heels OF a panic was not
easy. But, thanks to the energetic
solicitors the work is done, the mon
ey subscribed and the packing house
assured.
AS was truly said by one OF the
speakers at yesterdays meeting:
Amarillo has made another invest
ment which will yield returns hun
dred-fold.
Most OF our men OF means are lib
eral subscribers to packing house
stock. Many men who could i'll az
ford to be So liberal, responded with
subscriptions "A number OF our
merchants have their names opposite
a respectable number OF shares.
But there are some whose names
are conspicuous by failure to get
them on the lists. They are the
drones in the hive the leeches who
live off the substance OF others. They
are the stumbling blocks in the way
of the city's progress Their little
souls In their little forms shrink
from anything that means breadth,
public spirit, progress or general
prosperity Their innate selfishness
so completely directs their every ac-
ton that all but self is excluded
from their considerations. The dol
lar is their god. accumulation OF
money their only aim in life.
You want to know who are these
little men who persist in living off
others and refuse to contribute their
part toward the general welfare?
Ask to see the lists and mark
the names you fail to see. You la
boring men and farmers, in partlc-
ular are patrons OF such niggardly
and parslmonious specimens OF hui
manity. You will not find their
firms represented 10 the advertising
columns of your daily paper. You
will not see them at such meetings
as that of yesterday, You will not
get their names on your appeals for
charity. You will only find them
ready to take your dollars and they
Invariably pawn off on you an in
ferior article at superior price
What Is your duty TO yourself and
your neighbor In such a case?

Deluded scribe! Look at our country
