R . is- held by' the membeafl o f . some medical societies that it is not reputable for a physieiim to advertiBe for practice in the papers. Jusfc why i t is that doC-

... ters should not Advertise, dr iwhy they ■should stigmatize one who does as a quack, is unexplainable on business principles, and savors much of the ipqui- eitorial dognias of the Dark Ages, when individual advancement o r preference

- was made subservient to the wishes or —interests of a combination^ — i;—:

' O ther' profession, and business inter­ests find in it the secret oPsucceasand

■ consider it an honorable method, yea, a necessary adjunct to a successful career.

' B a t EsculapiuBj iu his region of exelu siveness, holds himself a little ^ h e r than tho ordinary mortal, yet if he per­forms some great cursor an opferationjhe hasnoscrnples agam stalong an&lauda- tory notice of his professional skill.

A caBe has just been decided ,in the Supreme Court of Illinois where, a medi­cal society attempted to coerce one of its members. Dr. McCoy advertised in the

.local press contrary to the edict of .the fraternity. In the county court it was

. no trouble to secure a verdict against the • doctor, because of the society *s influence.

waa- 1c^ ie3 ' te^^W :tSuprem&^8oTirtr -The opinion,of. the court was that ** the defendant had a constitution al light to advertise in the newspapers, and that suoh acts of a society carihofc be tolerated in a free country.” The'excuse that it is “ unprofessional,” is a reason too trivial lo t consideration, and yet itj is- given.' In the onwarijjnove of tbe world, theso ancient' notions should be put out of

_sight and medioal-sodeties adopt pro­gressive ideas and methods.

J o o M u c h A d v ic e .Qreat pressure is being -brought to

bear upon the Republican members of " I . onr present Legislature to have them pass

temperance measures at this session. Unfortunately:thifl pressure conies from at least tiire6 different directions and places the legislators in a-position where it is impossible for-'them to please all. The ultra tliird party people desire noth­ing but totol prohibition throughout the State. They would rather have freerum than fcike anything short of a radical en-~ ao tm en t; There are very few, however, who go to this extremeL Next come those who ask for county local option, knowing-that by-suoh a taw, they can banish liquor from some o f the counties

- - without the danger of defeat tljey would encbuntfer'if the vote was to be taken over

• the entire State; . There are also many influential people who regard high license as the proper form of commencing the

' active war against rum, believiDg that to be ultimately and permanently success­ful the outposts, of the enemy niust flrst bo captured, and w carciful arid thorough-

r |y “planned seige bo laid1 at the citadel,p the grand toup to be deferred until suc­

cess isabsolutely assured.Each one of these wings has its dele-

' gataon a t the Stato Capitol urging its par­ticular method, and the result is not what good friends of temperance might desire. I t is certain thatthe Republican majority in t i e Senate and Assembly is determined to pass a positive i^njperance measure; it has given abundant evidence* of its. purposed 0 temperance people arid or­ganizations were united on the measure it .would be promptly passed ; but in the

. * present state of affairs the Republicans must decide the question upon which

-delegations disagree, and we believe they will do it in the true intCTest of tQmper-

to be sold and consumed on the premises under a penalty of OOO^ije, or impris­onment for two y^rs, 0 ; both, &t iho dis cretion. offfiS Court; $be,blil has passed the Senate and wo hope tho Assembly will lose no timo in forwarding the good work.
