The time had cotnc to i• ft the veil and the speaker proposed to >et forth hi' brethren as they were with their faults and their virtues It was proper to >ay that for live years pa<l, almost daily, he had been engaged in lb* work of striving to elevate the pro fesshm. He had been able to study doctors both at home and abroad, in Great Britain and on the Continent ile had been in nearly every quack in stilution in the country and had been assured at each and all of them that hi' particular case could only b* re- lieved by immediate treatment m each and all of those concent'. For twenty five years he had been Secretary of the State Board of Health of Kentucky, and fur twenty-nine years he had gone before Legislatures and often before ( otigti" He had conn* in contact with many representative laymen and had found that the heln of doctors to- ward securing needed legislation d.d more harm than good.

Great Britain and on the Continentile had been in nearly every quack instilution in the country and had beenassured at each and all of them thathi' particular case could only b* re-lieved by immediate treatment m eachand all of those concent'. For twentyfive years he had been Secretary of theState Board of Health of Kentucky,and fur twenty-nine years he had gonebefore Legislatures and often before( otigti" He had conn* in contactwith many representative laymen andhad found that the heln of doctors to-ward securing needed legislation d.dmore harm than good.

liad told him of results in his sectionwhere physicians of all schools hadjoined in the work of uplifting the pro-

tors throughout the country. Theprofessional classes had fell the rise inthe cost of living without a correspond-ing rise n fee - Ihe speaker cited arich lay man who sail! he could affordand wa* w illing to endow his physician.r give him a regular salary Hu* plan"i a County Medical Collector to lookJitter doctors’ fees had been suggested:md would he welcomed In plain pco-

pl< and wage-earners generally, whoprefer to pay as they go rather thanincur large bills \* :t relief for doc-tor'. unnecessary night practice shouldhe broken up.
