^every man that employs the
doctor should take of his means

it fair, let the doctor come with
in the scope of his patient’s
means.
“Live and let live” should be
the motto of the doctors. If the
doctors would be fair to their
petienta, they would consider
each care op its own merits,
with respect to their fees.
In other words, if Mr A has an
income of 96 per day and Mr B
has an income of 60 cents per
day will the doctor charge the 60
cm; man ss much as the 96 man?
I am quite sme that if the doctor
would stop and meditate just a

eoald make a difference as to the
v above without discrimination.
