aujsago to investigate tho matter,
and weio convinced that Dr. Amlck
had mado a valuable dI?coeiy, but
Dno of tho phjsicians chaiged that
Dr. Amick was guilty of unprofo

Amick Is a regular physician of good
standing in tho community and has
boon In good standing with his con
freres of medicine, and even if ho has
violatod tho codo of ethics tho laws of
Ohio cannot bo used against him."
Tho Minneapolis Journal says. Dr.
Amick, who has roqulied a great deal
of cclebiltj of lato by his successful
treatment of phthisis, has lecently
had his euro investigated by and at
tho instigation of tho newspapers of
Cloveland. Of ton almost hopeless
cuses which wcia selected only ono
dlod, two were pionounced cured,
four showed marked improvement,
and three were much improved. In
all casos thpro was an increase In

only under troatment for two months.
The phvslclans who watched tho
course of tieatment all expressed
themselves as satisfied with the euro
and !ostlflcd as to tho gieat value
of tho discovery. Dut a number
of doctors who wero interviewed ac
cusod Dr. Amlck of ''violating tho

Is a notoworthv fact that tho majority
of phjslclan3 v. ho have so much to say
about tho "code" never accomplish,
anything of note, but feel satisfied if
only they have kept their senseless
fetich from rudo violation. For
tunately tho public, which gives tho
physician his support, doesn't eato a
Hg for the "code," and is always leadj
and w illlng to glv e honor and credit to
tho man who discovers an) thing that
will alleviate tho sufferings of human

himself or gives It freoly avvnyfor
quacks to pick up and use in their
business.
The Minneapolis Times, after refer
tlng edltotiully to tho action of tho
state boutd of health of Michigan in
placing consumption on tho list of in
fectious dlsoatos, recommends tho
Amlck tieatment, because "thirty or

Amlek in their practice and are of tho
opinion that tho medicines accom

It may bo that a tollable euro has beon
