The name of the mover of each motion to be entered upon the minutes. 2. Every motion shall be reduced to writing by the mover, if the presiding officer or any Fellow request the same. 3. Any Fellow may call for the division of a question, provided it comprehends two distinct propositions. A motion to strike out and insert shall be deemed indivisible; but a motion to strike out shall not preclude either amend- ment or a motion to strike out and insert. 4. The mover, with the consent of the seconder, may withdraw any motion previously to its amendment, com- mitment, or to the question upon its final passage being put by the presiding officer. . 5. When a Fellow speaks he shall stand up, addressing himself to the presiding officer, and confining himself strictly to the question under consideration. 6. No Fellow shall be interrupted while speaking except by a call to order, or for the purpose of explanation. 7. The presiding officer shall decide all calls to order; 16 unless an appeal be made to the College, in which case the person appealing shall first state his reasons for appealing, and then the presiding officer his reasons in support of his decision, but no further debate shall be allowed. 8. No Fellow shall be allowed to speak more than twice upon the same question, without permission being granted him by the College. 9. Whilst a question is under consideration, no motion shall be received excepting to adjourn, to lay the subject upon the table, to postpone, to refer to a committee, or to amend; which several motions shall have precedence in the order in which they are named. 10. A motion for adjournment shall always be in order, except when the College is voting on another question, or while a Fellow is speaking. 11. A motion to amend an amendment is in order, but not one to amend an amendment to the amendment. The question on the amendment shall be decided before that on the main question. 12. No motion shall be received to postpone the motion under discussion for the purpose of introducing a substitute. 13. A motion for postponement shall preclude commit- ment, and one for commitment shall preclude amendment, or a decision on the original question. 14. Motions for postponement, to lay upon the table, and for adjournment, shall always be determined without debate. 15. A motion that has been negatived, cannot be again brought forward at the same meeting, excepting upon a motion to reconsider. 16. No question shall be reconsidered, excepting on the motion of two Fellows, who voted with the majority when the question was decided, and submitted at the meeting at which the same was discussed. 17. When a blank is to be filled, the question shall be first taken on the largest sum, greatest number, and re- motest period. 17 18. Two Fellows may demand the yeas and nays on any question which is not required to be decided by ballot, and have them entered upon the minutes. The presiding officer in such cases shall always vote last. 19. No order shall be taken upon the report of any special committee, excepting to refer it back to the com- mittee, to lay it upon the table, or to obtain the sense of the College in relation to the resolutions appended thereto. 20. The presiding officer shall not discuss any subject while in the chair, but may assign his reasons on deciding a question of order. He shall have no vote excepting on a ballot, or upon a call for the yeas and nays. CHAPTER VI. OF THE TRANSACTIONS. 1. Every written communication, intended for a place in the Transactions, shall be referred to a special committee, to be appointed at the time the paper is offered, who shall report upon the propriety of its publication. Such papers as are approved by the College shall be put into the hands of the Library Committee; and such papers as it shall not be deemed advisable to insert in the Transactions, shall be put into the hands of the secretary, to be deposited in the archives of the College, subject to withdrawal by the author. 2. No paper read before the College shall be published, as having been so read, without the consent of the majority of the members present at the reading thereof,—this con- sent to be expressed by vote. 18 CHAPTER VII. OF THE LIBRARY. 1. At the stated meeting in July, the College shall ap- propriate such a sum as may be deemed compatible with its funds, for the use of the Library, for the ensuing year. 2. At the close of the stated meetings, and at such other times as the Library Company shall designate, any mem- ber may take out any book or set of books; which he may retain till the next stated meeting. He shall enter his name in a book kept for the purpose, and the time at which books are taken out shall be noted. 3. If a book be kept out longer than from one stated meeting to another, or beyond the stated meeting next after the time when it was borrowed, the member so retaining it, shall pay to the treasurer twenty-five cents for each volume so kept; and one dollar for every month after- wards. 4. If a book be lost by a member, he shall either replace it, or pay to the treasurer double the value thereof, or of the set of books to which it belongs. 5. At the stated meeting in May, all the books shall be returned to the Library, to enable the Library Committee to make their final report. CHAPTER VIII. RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT. 1. No Fellow shall attend or prescribe for a patient, who has previously employed another Fellow of the College in the same illness, unless it be in consultation with the°nrst physician, or in case of relinquishment, or of sudden emer- gency, when the said physician cannot be found. r 19 2. When a Fellow of this College is called to a family in an emergent case, because the family physician is not at hand, he shall resign the patient to the family physician, unless the physician or the family desire his assistance in consultation. 3. If, during the absence or sickness of any physician, a patient, who may have been under his charge at the time of his departure or attack, or have called upon him for assistance during his absence or sickness, or in any way given it to be understood, that he regarded him as his regular medical attendant, shall call in another physician, the latter shall on the return or recovery of the former, offer, with the consent of the patient, to surrender the case. 4. In cases of consultation, neither of the physicians shall offer any opinion, or give any directions respecting the patient, until they have retired to a private place; and the physician who was first in attendance, shall communi- cate their direction to the patient or attendants. 5. To enable practitioners to exhibit uniformity in the rate of charging, it is proposed that no entry shall be made in their account books of lower fees than those contained in the following table. If in any case, however, the physician should have reason to believe that his patient cannot pay the full amount without serious inconvenience, a deduction may be made at the end of the year, at the moment of rendering the bill, or at any other time. But the fee-bill, as at present established by the College, being founded on a just consideration of the important services which its members are called on to perform, it is their duty to con- form to it in their charges, whenever the circumstances of their patients are not such as clearly to forbid it. 6.
