What Is a Doctors Duty?
the Doctors Selfish Interest?
Blu DIR. VIM. NJ. BAIRD

A gentleman called on me recently to have GER
tain operation which he didn't need Now many
physicians would have performed it at once and
justified their course by saying, Wel he wants it,
and if he wants it, might well have the fee for
it as to let him go to some one else"
All of which think is a decidedly bad, in fact a
vicious code of ethics to guide doctor.
BY my outspoken denunciation of some of these
things during the past few years. have incurred the
enmity of some of these fakers but call atten-
tenton here to the fact that they have stopped Take
for instance the violet ray treatment for stricture
which at ceased to exist when turned the light
upon it, the fve-day of certain diseases is
no longer Haunted to the public vision and it is only
a question of time when $685. will be in the scrap
pile as practically is at present. for twothrds OF
that given is fake preparation, for the operator
has no desire to use the genuine when he knows it Isl
dangerous
I know of one instance where man advertises
to give it, and claims to have given it hundreds of
times and to friend he confded he had given
it but once, and then the effects of it on the patient
nearly scared him silly, and from that time ne in
ecs colored water and then tells the patient he must
take medicine ALSO Why in the world if it is cure,
should the doctor give other medicine afterward?
Sometime ago patient called on me in decided
neurasthenic condition with vital powers very much
exhausted and requested me to give him antitoxn,
as he had reasoned it out by process of false
reasoning that this might be beneficial Of course
I refused, but he went to a surgeon, who admins
tered it, or at least made the patient believe he did,
ana the ultimate result can well Dc imagined. Inc
patient afterward returned to me and is to-day en-
tirely WELL but still continues to 'cuss' the Doctor
who gave him what he wanted given
Commercialism is hurting the medical profession,
for there is not day goes by but what I hear pa
tients who have consulted and been treated by many
physicians giving the Doctors anything but good
reputation and the keynote of their opinion in
varably that all the Doctors thought of the fee.
No one questions but what the Doctor should be
paid for his service but fair remuneration for proper
service should be all anyone should ask, and in the
end believe it will pay best.
For over 80 years l have devoted my whole time
to my speciality and anyone interested 1 shall be

After Bulgaria has answered all the

the provisional boundary fixed a short
time ago, the Greek government feels
forced to give the Macedonian divisions

ESKIMO MORALS

Whites and Missionaries

Stefansson, who will sail for Nome to
take charge of the Canadian govern
rnent Arctic exploring expedition, was
the guest of the College club at lunch
con and made what he expects will be
his last address for nearly three and
a half years. He said:
'I am going on strictly scientific
expedition for the Canadian govern
ment. There is an unexplored area of
a million square miles in the Arctic
and we shall try to learn what it con-
tains. If there is land, it probably is
uninhabited. If inhabited, its people
must be Eskimos.'
Stefansson spoke with deep feeling
of the misrepresentation he had suf-
fered because of his recommendation to
the Canadian government that all white
people be barred from the Eskimo ter
ritory to protect the natives from ex-
termination by disease, especially
mea sles. He said:
Il have been quoted as particularly
wishing missionaries excluded, and have
been violently attacked by the Canadian
clergy in consequence. I sought to
have all civilized people kept away
from the Eskimos. who are healthy,
prosperous contented and have as gouo
morals as our own 1 thought an ap-
peal to the government to protect these
people needed no diplomacy. It never
occurred to me that l would meet ac-
tive opposition in my effort to save

WILSON TO RUN AWAY
Ambassador to Mexico Avoids Embar-
rassment July 4.

Mexico City. July Although Pro-
visional President Vict oriano Huerta
has accepted the invitation sent to him
to meet the American residents of Mex
leo City, during their festivities-on
the Fourth of July, the colony in Mex
ice City will celebrate the day this year
without the presence of the American
ambassador. Henry Lane Wilson has
decided to go to Vera Cruz to partici-
pate in the festivities on board the
vessels of the United States navy there.
He will thus avoid the embarrassment
of what might be construed into off,
cial contact between the president of
the Mexico republic and the represen-
tative of a nation which has not recog-
nized his government. Repairs to the
Mexican Central railway have made
such progress that the federal govern
ment believes it will be able to for
ward a supply to Torreon within the
next three days. The government has
not delivered it's reply to the demands
made by E. n. Brown, president of the
National Railways, as a condition that
he and A. Clark, the general manager,
remain in their positions.
