15. The foregoing table contains the standard 
fees which shall be demanded; they shall be in- 
creased, according to the judgment of the practi- 
tioner concerned, in all cases of extraordinary de- 
tention or attendance ; also in proportion to the 
importance of the cases, of the responsibility at- 
tached to it, and to the services rendered, when 
these are extraordinary. They shall be dimin- 
ished at the discretion of the physician when he 
believes that the patient cannot afford to pay the 
regular fees, and yet is able to make some compen- 
sation. It shall be considered, however, as un- 
professional to diminish the standard fees, except 
from motives of charity and benevolence. Medi- 
cal officers connected with the staffs of the hospi- 
tals and dispensaries of the District of Columbia 
shall be entitled to charge the usual fees for medi- 
cal services rendered to patients able to pay for 
medical attendance.

vent gratuitous services to those who are inca- 
pable of making remuneration without distressing 
themselves or families.

of obstetrics is absent, and a second attends the 
patient, the latter may charge the full fee, but 
shall relinquish the patient to the first; and in 
no case shall the second continue to attend, except 
to render indispensable service during the con- 
tinued absence or disability of the first.

in, both the attending ami consulting physician

but when the latter is not detained in attendance 
he should only charge the usual fee for consulta- 
tion. 
17. It is recommended to the members of this 
Association to present their accounts for profes- 
sional services at the close of the attendance ; and 
it shall be the duty of each member to obtain a 
settlement from all his families at least once in 
three months, viz : the first of January, the first of 
April, the first of July, and the first of October.

of the army and navy not members of this Associa- 
tion ; also to associate members, to women practi- 
tioners, and practitioners of Africafi descent who

of the District of Columbia, provided such practi- 
tioners act in conformity to the ethics of the 
American Medical Association. 
20. While the privilege of selecting the consult- 
ing physician is conceded to the patient or his im- 
mediate family, nevertheless, as the good of the 
patient is the sole object in view, it shall be allow- 
able for the attending physician to express his 
preference.

be laid before the Association at the earliest sub- 
sequent meeting for its action. 
22. No graduate of medicine shall be eligible 
to membership in this Association who shall not 
devote his entire time to the practice of medicine, 
and if any member shall accept a clerkship or 
eng age in any business not connected with the 
regular practice of medicine, his connection with 
this Association shall cease. 
The present associate members shall be entitled 
to the privileges of consultation, but to no other 
privilege of the Association. 
23. The Code of Ethics of the American Medi- 
cal Association is hereby adopted as the code of 
ethics of this Association, and made a regulation 
binding upon its members.

ing to the order in which they have affixed their 
names to the rules and regulations, as provided in 
regulation 27. 
25. In certificates on account of illness given

specting absence from official duties, the disease 
shall not be specified, neither shall the name or 
nature of the disease be divulged by any written 
description or statement of its syinptons given to 
the patient himself, nor by any specification of 
the disorder, nor by any disclosure which may be

not be held for that purpose sooner than one 
month from the time of offering such proposition, 
and it shall then require the concurrence of two- 
thirds of the members present for its adoption.

OF THE DUTIES OF PHYSICIANS TO THEIR PATIENTS, AND OF 
THE OBLIGATIONS OF PATIENTS TO THEIR PHYSICIANS. 
Akt. I.-Duties of physicians to their patients. 
§ 1. A physician should not only be ever ready to obey the calls of the 
sick, but his mind ought also to be imbued with the greatness of his mission, 
and the responsibility he habitually incurs in its discharge. These obliga- 
tions are the more deep and enduring because there is no tribunal other 
than his own conscience to adjudge penalties for carelessness or neglect. 
Physicians should, therefore, minister to the sick with due impressions of 
the importance of their office, reflecting that the ease, the health, and the 
lives of those committed to their charge depend on their skill, attention, 
and fidelity. They should study, also, in their deportment, so to unite 
tenderness firmness, and condescension with authority, as to inspire the 
minds of their patients with gratitude, respect, and confidence. 
§ 2. Every case commited to the charge of a physician should be treated 
with attention, steadiness, and humanity. Reasonable indulgence should 
be granted to the mental imbecility and caprices of the sick. Secrecy and 
delicacy, when required by peculiar circumstances, should be strictly 
observed; and the familiar and confidential intercourse to which physicians 
are admitted in their professional visits should be used with discretion and 
with the most scrupulous regard to fidelity and honor. The obligation of 
secrecy extends beyond the period of professional services : none of the 
privacies of personal and domestic life, no infirmity of disposition or flaw of 
character observed during professional attendance should ever be divulged 
by the physician except when he is imperatively required to do so. The 
force and necessity of this obligation are indeed so great that professional 
men have, under certain circumstances, been protected in their observance 
of secrecy by courts of justice. 
§ 3. Frequent visits to the sick are in general requisite, since they enable 
the physician to arrive at a more perfect knowledge of the disease-to meet 
promptly every change which may occur, and also tend to preserve the con- 
fidence of the patient. But unnecessary visits are to be avoided, as they 
give useless anxiety to the patient, tend to diminish the authority of the 
physician, and render him liable to be suspected of interested motives. 
§ 4. A physician should not be forward to make gloomy prognostications, 
because they savor of empiricism, by magnifying the importance of his 
services in the treatment or cure of the disease. But he should not fail, on 
proper occasions, to give to the friends of the patient timely notice of 
danger when it really occurs, and even to the patient himself, if abso- 
lutely necessary. This office, however, is so peculiarly alarming when exe- 
cuted by him that it ought to be declined whenever it can be assigned 
to any other person of sufficient judgment and delicacy. For the physician 
should be the minister of hope and comfort to the sick ; that, by such cor- 
dials to the drooping spirit, he may smooth the bed of death, revive expiring 
life, and counteract the depressing influence of those maladies which often 
disturb the tranquillity of the most resigned in their last moments. The life 
of a sick person can be shortened not only by the acts, but also by the 
words or the manner of a physician. It is, therefore, a sacred duty to guard 20 
himself carefully in this respect, and to avoid all things which have a tend- 
ency to discourage the patient and to depress his spirits. 
§ 5. A physician ought not to abandon a patient because the case is 
deemed incurable, for his attendance may continue to be highly useful to 
the patient, and comforting to the relatives around him, even in the last 
period of a fatal malady, by alleviating pain and other symptoms and by 
soothing mental anguish. To decline attendance under such circumstances 
would be sacrificing to fanciful delicacy and mistaken liberality that moral 
duty which is independent of, and far superior to, all pecuniary considera- 
tion. 
§ 6. Consultations should be promoted in difficult or protracted cases, as 
they give rise to confidence, energy, and more enlarged views in practice. 
§ 7. The opportunity which a physician not unfrequently enjoys of pro- 
moting and strengthening the good resolutions of his patients suffering 
under the consequences of vicious conduct ought never to be neglected. 
His counsels, or even remonstrances will give satisfaction, not offence, if 
they be proffered with politeness and evince a genuine love of virtue, 
accompanied by a sincere interest in the welfare of the person to whom they 
are addressed. 
Abt. II.-Obligations of patients to their physicians. 
§ 1. The members of the medical profession, upon whom is enjoined the 
performance of so many important and arduous duties towards the com- 
munity and who are required to make so many sacrifices of comfort, ease, 
and health for the welfare of those who avail themselves of their services, 
certainly have a right to expect and require that their patients should 
entertain a just sense of the duties which they owe to their medical attend- 
ants. 
§ 2. The first duty of a patient is to select as his medical adviser one who 
has received a regular professional education. In no trade or occupation 
do mankind rely on the skill of an untaught artist; and in medicine, 
confessedly the most difficult and intricate of the sciences, the world ought 
not to suppose that knowledge is intuitive. 
§ 3. Patients should prefer a physician whose habits in life are regular, 
and who is not devoted to company, pleasure, or to any pursuit incompatible 
with his professional obligations. A patient should also confide the care of 
himself and family as much as possible to one physician, for a medical man 
who has become acquainted with the peculiarities of constitution, habits, 
and predispositions of those he attends is more likely to be successful in his 
treatment than one who does not possess that knowledge. 
A patient who has thus selected his physician should always apply for 
advice in what may appear to him trivial cases, for the most fatal results 
often supervene on the slightest accidents. It is of still more importance 
that he should apply for assistance in the forming stage of violent diseases ; 
it is to a neglect of this precept that medicine owes much of the uncertainty 
and imperfection with which it has been reproached. 
§ 4. Patients should faithfully and unreservedly communicate to their 
physician the supposed cause of their disease. This is the more important, 
as many diseases of a mental origin stimulate those depending on external 
causes, and yet are only to be cured by ministering to the mind diseased. 
A patient should never be afraid of thus making his physician his friend and 
adviser; he should always bear in mind that a medical man is under the 
strongest obligations of secrecy. Even the female sex should never allow 
feelings of shame or delicacy to prevent their disclosing the seat, symptoms, 
and causes of complaints peculiar to them. However commendable a modest 
reserve may be in the common occurrences of life, its strict observance in 
medicine is often attended with the most serious consequences, and a patient 
may sink under a painful and loathsome disease, which might have been 
readily prevented had timely intimation been given to the physician. 
§ 5. A patient should never weary his physician with a tedious detail of 21 
events or matters not appertaining to his disease. Even as relates to his 
actual symptoms, he will convey much more real information by giving 
clear answers to interrogatories than by the most minute account of his 
own framing. Neither should he obtrude upon his physician the details of 
his business nor the history of his family concerns. 
§ 6. The obedience of a patient to the prescriptions of his physician should 
be prompt and implicit. He should never permit his own crude opinions 
as to their fitness to influence his attention to them. A failure in one par- 
ticular may render an otherwise judicious treatment dangerous, and even 
fatal. This remark is equally applicable to diet, drink, and exercise. As 
patients become convalescent, they are very apt to suppose that the rules 
prescribed for them may be disregarded, and the consequence, but too often, 
is a relapse. Patients should never allow themselves to be persuaded to take 
any medicine whatever that may be recommended to them by the self- 
constituted doctors and doctresses who are so frequently met with, and who 
pretend to possess infallible remedies for the cure of every disease. How- 
ever simple some of their prescriptions may appear to be, it often happens 
that they are productive of much mischief, and in all cases they are injuri- 
ous, by contravening the plan of treatment adopted by the physician. 
§ 7. A patient should, if possible, avoid even the friendly visits of a phy- 
sician who is not attending him ; and when he does receive them he should 
never converse on the subject of his disease, as an observation may be made, 
without any intention of interference, which may destroy his confidence in 
the course he is pursuing, and induce him to neglect the directions pre- 
scribed to him. A patient should never send for a consulting physician 
without the express consent of his own medical attendant. It is of great 
importance that physicians should act in conceit; for, although their modes 
of treatment may be attended with equal success when employed singly, yet 
conjointly they are very likely to be productive of disastrous results. 
§ 8. When a patient wishes to dismiss his physician, justice and common 
courtesy require that he should declare his reasons for so doing. 
§ 9. Patients should always, when practicable, send for their physician 
in the morning, before his usual hour of going out; for, by being early 
aware of the visits he has to pay during the day, the physician is able to 
apportion his time in such a manner as to prevent an interference of engage- 
ments. Patients should also avoid calling on their medical, adviser un- 
necessarily during the hours devoted to meals or sleep. They should 
always be in readiness to receive the visits of their physician, as the deten- 
tion of a few minutes is often of serious inconvenience to him. 
§ 10. A patient should, after his recovery, entertain a just and enduring 
sense of the value of the services rendered him by his physician; for these 
are of such a character that no mere pecuniary acknowledgment can repay 
or cancel them. . 
OF THE DUTIES OF PHYSICIANS TO EACH OTHER AND TO THE 
PROFESSION AT LARGE. 
Art. 1.-Duties for the support of professional character. 
§ 1. Every individual, on entering the profession, as he becomes thereby 
entitled to all its privileges and immunities, incurs an obligation to exert his 
best abilities to maintain its dignity and honor, to exalt its standing, and to 
extend the bounds of its usefulness. He should, therefore, observe strictly 
such laws as are instituted for the government of its members; should 
avoid all contumelious and sarcastic remarks relative to the faculty as a 
body; and while, by unwearied diligence, he resorts to every honorable 
means of enriching the science, he should entertain a due respect for his 
seniors, who have, by their labors, brought it to the elevated condition in 
which he finds it. 22 
§ 2. There is no profession from the members of which greater purity of 
character and a higher standard of moral excellence are required than the 
medical; and to attain such eminence is a duty every physician owes alike 
to his profession and to his patients. It is due to the latter, as without it he 
cannot command their respect and confidence; and to both, because noscien- 
tific attainments can compensate for the want of correct moral principles. 
It is also incumbent upon the faculty to be temperate in all things, for the 
practice of physic requires the unremitting exercise of a clear and vigorous 
understanding; and, on emergencies, for which no professional man should 
be unprepared, a steady hand, an acute eye, and an unclouded head may be 
essential to the well-being, and even to the life, of a fellow-creature. 
§ 3. It is derogatory to the dignity of the profession to resort to public 
advertisements, or private cards, or handbills, inviting the attention of in- 
dividuals affected with particular diseases-publicly offering advice and medi- 
cine to the poor gratis, or promising radical cures; or to publish cases and 
operations in the daily prints, or suffer such publications to be made ; to in- 
vite laymen to be present at operations, to boast of cures and remedies, to 
adduce certificates of skill and success, or to perform any other similar acts. 
These are the ordinary practices of empirics, and are highly reprehensible 
in a regular physician. 
§ 4. Equally derogatory to professional character is it for a physician to 
hold a patent for any surgical instrument or medicine; or to dispense a 
secret nostrum, whether it be the composition or exclusive property of him- 
self or of others. For, if such nostrum be of real efficacy, any concealment 
regarding it is inconsistent with beneficence and professional liberality ; and 
if mystery alone give it value and importance, such craft implies either dis- 
graceful ignorance or fraudulent avarice. It is also reprehensible for physi- 
cians to give certificates attesting the efficacy of patent or secret medicines, 
or in any way to promote the use of them. 
Art. II.-Professional services of physicians to each other. 
§ 1. All practitioners of medicine, their wives, and their children while 
under the paternal care, are entitled to the gratuitous services of any one or 
more of the faculty residing near them, whose assistance may be desired. 
A physician afflicted with disease is usually an incompetent judge of his 
own case; and the natural anxiety and solicitude which he experiences at 
the sickness of a wife, a child, or any one who, by the ties of consanguinity, 
is rendered peculiarly dear to him, tend to obscure his judgment, and pro- 
duce timidity and irresolution in his practice. Under such circumstances, 
medical men are peculiarly dependent upon each other, and kind offices and 
professional aid should always be cheerfully and gratuitously afforded. 
Visits ought not, however, to be obtruded officiously, as such unasked 
civility may give rise to embarrassment, or interfere with' that choice on 
which confidence depends. But if a distant member of the faculty, whose 
circumstances are affluent, request attendance, and an honorarium be offered, 
it should not be declined ; for no pecuniary obligation ought to be imposed 
which the party receiving it would wish not to incur. 
Akt. III. - Of the duties of physicians as respects vicarious offices. 
§ 1. The affairs of life, the pursuit of health, and the various accidents 
and contingencies to which a medical man is peculiarly exposed, sometimes 
require him temporarily to withdraw from his duties to his patients, and to 
request some of his professional brethren to officiate for him. Compliance 
with this request is an act of courtesy which should always be performed 
with the utmost consideration for the interest and character of the family 
physician, and when exercised for a short period all the pecuniary obliga- 
tions for such service should be awarded to him. But if a member of the 
profession neglect his business in quest of pleasure and amusement, he can- 
not be considered as entitled to the advantages of the frequent and long- 
continued exercise of this fraternal courtesy without awarding to the physi- 23 
cian who officiates the fees arising from the discharge of his professional 
duties. 
In obstetrical and important surgical cases, which give rise to unusual 
fatigue, anxiety, and responsibility, it is just that the fees accruing there- 
from should be awarded to the physician who officiates. 
Art. IV.-Of the duties of physicians in regard to consultations. 
§ 1. A regular medical education furnishes the only presumptive evidence 
of professional abilities and acquirements, and ought to be the only ac- 
knowledged right of an individual to the exercise and honors of his profes- 
sion. Nevertheless, as in consultations the good of the patient is the sole 
object in view, and this is often dependent on personal confidence, no in- 
telligent regular practitioner, who has a license to practice from some med- 
ical board of known and acknowledged respectability, recognized by this 
Association, and who is in good moral and professional standing in the place 
in which he resides, should be fastidiously excluded from fellowship, or 
his aid refused in consultation, when it is requested by the patient. But no 
one can be considered as a regular practitioner or a fit associate in consul- 
tation whose practice is based on an exclusive dogma, to the rejection of 
the accumulated experiences of the profession, and of the aids actually 
furnished by anatomy, physiology, pathology, and organic chemistry. 
§ 2. In consultations, no rivalship or jealousy should be indulged; can- 
dor, probity, and all due respect should be exercised towards the physician 
having charge of the case. 
§ 3. In consultation, the attending physician should be the first to pro- 
pose the necessary questions to the sick; after which the consulting physi- 
cian should have the opportunity to make such further inquiries of the 
patient as may be necessary to satisfy him of the true character of the case. 
Both physicians should then retire to a private place for deliberation; and 
the one first in attendance should communicate the directions agreed upon 
to the patient or his friends, as well as any opinions which it may be thought 
proper to express. But no statement or discussion of it should take place 
before the patient or his friends, except in the presence of all the faculty 
attending, and by their common consent; and no opinions or prognostica- 
tions should be delivered which are not the result of previous deliberation 
and concurrence. 
§ 4. In consultations, the physician in attendance should deliver his 
opinion first; and when there are several consulting they should deliver 
their opinions in the order in which they have been called in. No decision, 
however, should restrain the attending physician from making such varia- 
tions in the mode of treatment as any subsequent unexpected change in the 
character of the case may demand. But such variation, and the reason for 
it, ought to be carefully detailed at the next meeting in consultation. The 
same privilege belongs also to the consulting physician if he is sent for in 
an emergency, when the regular attendant is out of the way, and similar 
explanations must be made by him at the next consultation. 
§ 5. The utmost punctuality should be observed in the visits of physicians 
when they are to hold consultation together, and this is generally practica- 
ble, for society has been considerate enough to allow the plea of a profes- 
sional engagement to take precedence of all other, and to be an ample reason 
for the relinquishment of any present occupation. But as professional en- 
gagements may sometimes interfere, and delay one of the parties, the physi- 
cian who first arrives should wait for his associate a reasonable period, after 
which the consultation should be considered as postponed to a new appoint- 
ment. If it be the attending physician who is present, he will, of course, 
see the patient and prescribe; but if it be the consulting one, he should 
retire, except in case of emergency, or when he has been called from a con- 
siderable distance, in which latter case he may examine the patient and 
give his opinion in writing and under seal, to be delivered to his associate. 24 
§ 6. In consultations, theoretical discussions should be avoided, as occa- 
sioning perplexity and loss of time; for there may be much diversity of 
opinion concerning speculative points, with perfect agreement in those 
modes of practice which are founded, not on hypothesis, but on experience 
and observation. 
§ 7. All discussions in consultation should be held as secret and confi- 
dential. Neither by words nor manner should any of the parties to a con- 
sultation assert or insinuate that any part of the treatment pursued did not 
receive his assent. The responsibility must be equally divided between the 
medical attendants-they must equally share the credit of success as well 
as the blame of failure. 
§ 8. Should an irreconcilable diversity of opinion occur when several 
physicians are called upon to consult together, the opinion of the majority 
should be considered as decisive ; but if the numbers be equal on each side, 
then the decision should rest with the attending physician. It may, more- 
over, sometimes happen that two physicians cannot agree in their views of 
the nature of a case and the treatment to be pursued. This is a circum- 
stance much to be deplored, and should always be avoided, if possible, by 
mutual concessions, as far as they can be justified by a conscientious regard 
for the dictates of judgment. But in the event of its occurrence, a third 
physician should, if practicable, be called to act as umpire ; and if circum- 
stances prevent the adoption of this course, it must be left to the patient to 
select the physician in whom he is most willing to confide. But, as every 
physician relies upon the rectitude of his judgment, he should, when left 
in the minority, politely and consistently retire from any further delibera- 
tion in the consultation, or participation in the management of the case. 
§ 9. As circumstances sometimes occur to render a special consultation 
desirable, when the continued attendance of two physicians might be objec- 
tionable to the patient, the member of the faculty whose assistance is required 
in such cases should sedulously guard against all future unsolicited attend- 
ance. As such consultations require an extraordinary portion both of time 
and attention, at least a double honorarium may be reasonably expected. 
§ 10. A physician who is called upon to consult should observe the most 
honorable and scrupulous regard for the character and standing of the prac- 
titioner in attendance; the practice of the latter, if necessary, should be 
justified as far as it can be consistently with a conscientious regard for 
truth, and no hint or insinuation should be thrown out which could impair 
the confidence reposed in him, or affect his reputation. The consulting 
physician should also carefully refrain from any of those extraordinary 
attentions or assiduities which are too often practised by the dishonest for 
the base purpose of gaining applause, or ingratiating themselves into the 
favor of families and individuals. 
§ 1. Medicine is a liberal profession, and those admitted into its ranks 
should found their expectations of practice upon the extent of their qualifi- 
cations, not on intrigue or artifice. 
§ 2. A physician, in his intercourse with a patient under the care of 
another practitioner, should observe the strictest caution and reserve. No 
meddling inquiries should be made-no disingenuous hints given relative 
to the nature and treatment of his disorder; nor any course of conduct 
pursued that may directly or indirectly tend to diminish the trust reposed 
in the physician employed. 
§ 3. The same circumspection and reserve should be observed when, 
from motives of business or friendship, a physician is promoted to visit an 
individual whois under the direction of another practitioner. Indeed, such 
visits should be avoided, except under peculiar circumstances ; and when 
they are made, no particular inquiries should be instituted relative to the 
nature of the disease, or the remedies employed, but the topics of conversa- 
tion should be as foreign to the case as circumstances will admit. 
Art. V.-Duties of physicians in cases of interference. 25 
§ 4. A physician ought not to take charge of or prescribe for a patient 
who has recently been under the care of another member of the faculty in 
the same illness, except in cases of sudden emergency, or in consultation 
with the physician previously in attendance, or when the latter has relin- 
quished the case, or been regularly notified that his services are no longer 
desired. Under such circumstances no unjust and illiberal insinuations 
should be thrown out in relation to the conduct or practice previously pur- 
sued, which should be justified as far as candor and regard for truth and 
probity will permit; for it often happens that patients become dissatisfied 
when they do not experience immediate relief, and, as many diseases are 
naturally protracted, the want of success in the first stage of treatment 
affords no evidence of a lack of professional knowledge and skill. 
§ 5. When a physician is called to an urgent case because the family 
attendant is not at hand, he ought, unless his assistance in consultation be 
desired, to resign the care of the patient to the latter immediately on his 
arrival. 
§ 6. It often happens in cases of sudden illness, or of recent accidents 
and injuries, owing to the alarm and anxiety of friends, that a number of 
physicians are simultaneously sent for. Under these circumstances, cour- 
tesy should assign the patient to the first who arrives, who should select 
from those present any additional assistance that he may deem necessary. 
In all such cases, however, the practitioner who officiates should request 
the family physician, if there be one, to be called, and, unless his further 
attendance be requested, should resign the case to the latter on his arrival. 
§ 7. When a physician is called to the patient of another practitioner, in 
consequence of the sickness or absence of the latter, he ought, on the return 
or recovery of the regular attendant and with the consent of the patient, to 
surrender the case. 
[The expression, "patient of another practitioner," is understood to 
mean a patient who may have been under the charge of another practitioner 
at the time of the attack of sickness, or departure from home of the latter, 
or who may have called for his attendance during his absence or sickness, 
or in any other manner given it to be understood that he regarded the said 
physician as his regular medical attendant.'] 
§ 8. A physician when visiting a sick person in the country may be 
desired to see a neighboring patient who is under the regular direction of 
another physician, in consequence of some sudden change or aggravation of 
symptoms. The conduct to be pursued on such an occasion is to give advice 
adapted to present circumstances; to interfere no further than is absolutely 
necessary with the general plan of treatment; to assume no further direc- 
tion unless it be expressly desired ; and, in this last case, to request an im- 
mediate consultation with the practitioner previously employed. 
§ 9. A wealthy physician should not give advice gratis to the affluent, 
because his doing so is an injury to his professional brethren. The office of 
a physician can never be supported as an exclusively beneficent one ; and 
it is defrauding, in some degree, the common funds for its support when 
fees are dispensed with which might justly be claimed. 
§ 10. When a physician who has been engaged to attend a case of mid- 
wifery is absent, and another is sent for, if delivery is accomplished during 
the attendance of the latter, he is entitled to the fee, but should resign the 
patient to the practitioner first engaged. 
§ 1. Diversity of opinion and opposition of interest may, in the medical 
as in other professions, sometimes occasion controversy and even contention. 
Whenever such cases unfortunately occur, and cannot be immediately 
terminated, they should be referred to the arbitration of a sufficient num- 
ber of physicians, or a court-medical. 
§ 2. As peculiar reserve must be maintained by physicians towards the 
public in regard to professional matters, and as there exist numerous points 
Art. VI.-Of differences between physicians. 26 
in medical ethics and etiquette through which the feelings of medical men 
may be painfully assailed in their intercourse with each other and which 
cannot be understood or- appreciated by general society, neither the subject- 
matter of such differences nor the adjudication of the arbitrators should be 
made public, as publicity in a case of this nature may be personally injurious 
to the individuals concerned, and can hardly fail to bring discredit on the 
faculty. 
Art. VII.-Of pecuniary acknowledgments. 
Some general rules should be adopted by the faculty, in every town or 
district, relative to pecuniary acknowledgments from their patients; and it 
should be deemed a point of honor to adhere to these rules with as much 
uniformity as varying circumstances will admit. 
OF THE DUTIES OF THE PROFESSION TO THE PUBLIC 
AND OF THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE PUBLIC TO THE 
PROFESSION. 
Art. I.-Duties of the profession to the public. 
§ 1. As good citizens, it is the duty of physicians to be ever vigilant for 
the welfare of the community, and to bear their part in sustaining its insti- 
tutions and burdens; they should also be ever ready to give counsel to the 
public in relation to matters especially appertaining to their profession, as 
on subjects of medical police, public hygiene, and legal medicine. It is 
their province to enlighten the public in regard to quarantine regulations- 
the location, arrangement, and dietaries of hospitals, asylums, schools, 
prisons, and similar institutions; in relation to the medical police of towns, 
as drainage, ventilation, etc., and in regard to measures for the prevention 
of epidemic and contagious disease; and when pestilence prevails it is their 
duty to face the danger, and to continue their labors for the alleviation of 
the suffering, even at the jeopardy of their own lives. 
§ 2. Medical men should also be always ready, when called on by the 
legally constituted authorities, to enlighten coroners' inquests and courts of 
justice on subjects strictly medical-such as involve questions relating to 
sanity, legitimacy, murder by poisons or other violent means, and in regard 
to the various other subjects embraced in the science of Medical Jurispru- 
dence. But in these cases, and especially where they are required to make 
a post-mortem examination, it is just, in consequence of the time, labor, and 
skill required, and the responsibility and risk they incur, that the public 
should award them a proper honorarium. 
§ 3. There is no profession by the members of which eleemosynary services 
are more liberally dispensed than the medical, but justice requires that some 
limits should be placed to the performance of such good offices. Poverty, 
professional brotherhood, and certain of the public duties referred to in the 
first section of this article should always be recognized as presenting valid 
claims for gratuitous services ; but neither institutions endowed by the pub- 
lic or by rich individuals, societies for mutual benefit, for the insurance of 
lives, or for analogous purposes, nor any profession or occupation can be 
admitted to possess such privilege. Nor can it be justly expected of physi- 
cians to furnish certificates of inability to serve on juries, to perform militia 
duty, or to testify to the state of health of persons wishing to insure their 
lives, obtain pensions or the like, without pecuniary acknowledgment. 
But to individuals in indigent circumstances such professional services 
should always be cheerfully and freely accorded. 
§ 4. It is the duty of physicians, who are frequent witnesses of the enor- 
mities commited by quackery, and the injury to health and even destruc- 
tion of life caused lay the use of quack medicines, to enlighten the public 
on these subjects, to expose the injuries sustained by the unwary from the 
devices and pretensions of artful empirics and impostors. Physicians 27 
ought to use all the influence which they may possess, as professors in Col- 
leges of Pharmacy, and by exercising their option in regard to the shops 
to which their prescriptions shall be sent, to discourage druggists and 
apothecaries from vending quack or secret medicines, or from being in any 
way engaged in their manufacture and sale. 
Abt. II.-Obligations of the public to physicians. 
§ 1. The benefits accruing to the public, directly and indirectly, from 
the active and unwearied beneficence of the profession are so numerous and 
important that physicians are justly entitled to the utmost consideration 
and respect of the community. The public ought likewise to entertain a 
just appreciation of medical qualifications; to make a proper discrimination 
between true science and the assumptions of ignorance and empiricism; to 
afford every encouragement and facility for the acquisition of medical edu- 
cation, and no longer to allow the statute-books to exhibit the anomaly of 
exacting knowledge from physicians, under a liability to heavy penalties, 
and of making them obnoxious to punishment for resorting to the only 
means of obtaining it. Alphabetical List of Living Resident Members.
