Camak, In The Anderson Independent). To begin with, I want to say that if I had a dozen votes. I’d cast every one of them against the government’s taking any steps toward regimenting of public health. Of all unshackled men, in thought and action, I think the doctor should be the freest. Of all unrestricted choices of free men, I think the choice of physician should be the foremost. I think that one of the gravest injuries the government of the United States could do its citi zens would be to wrap their doctor up in red tape of politics and gov ernment regulation. Of all professions that have made progress n the development of the effectiveness of their service to hu manity, their knowledge, their skill and their certainty, the medical pro-! fession, it seems to me, is far in the lead. Without government interference, the medical profession has, through its diligence or research and appli cation, blocked out many dreaded I diseases and extended the span of! human life. This has been done by a profes sion of men, unshackled and unreg imented. I think they should stay that way. But, my friend, the doctor, if there! is any danger of your being regi mented. who is responsible for the thought? Have you deviated considerably from the philosophy of your for bears? Instead of being the servant of the people and responsible for their health needs, have you begun to look upon them as belonging to you — clients rather than patients? Has the matter of money affected your total absorption in the health and cure of any and everyone? Is it true that your code of ethics is so set i up in your favor that even a quack i is hard to run down and unlicensed Is it true that members of boards of : regents of medical colleges have been admonished by you to limit the number of young men entering these institutions because there are too Special to The Chronicle..

Is it true that when a man of ordinary appearance knocks on your door in the wee hours of the night and implores you to go tend his wife or child he thinks is dying, that you ask, before you con sent to go, if he has any money or if there is any insurance on the pa tient’s life? I do not know that any of these implied accusations are true. You | have always served me and my fam- drawals were in the nature of sus- ily in a way that has made me love pensions.
