The profession has for its prime ob-
ject, the service it can render to hu-
manity; reward or financial gain
should be a minor consideration. The
practice of medicine is a profession, as
one writer has termed it, the greatest
profession that God has entrusted to
man. In choosing this profession an
individual assumes an obligation to
conduct himself in accord with its high
ideals.
The obligation assumed on entering
the profession requires the physician
to conduct himself as a gentleman and
demands that he use every honorable
means to uphold the dignity and hon-
or of his vocation, to exalt its standard
and to extend its sphere of usefulness.
The medical society has a duty. In
order that the dignity and honor of the
medical profession may be upheld, its
standard exalted and the advancement
of medical science promoted, a phy-
sician should associate himself with
medical societies and contribute his
time, energy and means in order that
these societies may represent the
ideals of the profession.
A physician’s deportment means
much to the glory and honor of his
profession or it may mean ruin, degra-
dation and loss of confidence on the
part of the community toward him. A
physician should be an upright man,
instructed in the art of healing, conse-
quently he must keep himself pure
in character and conform to a high
standard of morals and must be dili-
gent and conscientious in his studies.
Hippocrates states it: “He should be
modest, sober, patient, prompt^to do
his whole duty without anxiety, pious
without going so far as superstition,
conducting himself with propriety in
his profession and in all the actions
of his life.”
Certain forms of advertisement are
unbecoming, unprofessional and are
distasteful, namely, the solicitation of
patients by circulars or advertisement
is unprofessional. It is equally unpro-
fessional to procure patient by direc-
tion through solicitors or agents of
any kind. The joining of many church-
es and making love with preachers
and heads of lodges and other organi-
zations is unprofessional of the low-
est type. All other like self-laudation
defy the tradition and lower the tone
of the profession. The most worthy
and effective advertisement possible,
even for a young physician and es-
pecially with his brother physicians,
is the establishment of a well-merited
reputation for professional ability and
fidelity. This cannot be forced but
must be tbe outcome of character and
conduce The publication or circula-
tion of ordinary simple business cards,
being a matter of personal taste and
sometimes of convenience is not
deemed improper.
It is unprofessional to promise radi-
cal cures, to boast of cures and secret
methods of treatment or remedies.
It is ethical at all times for physi-
cians to safeguard the profession. The
doctors should expose without fear or
favor before the medical society cor-
rupt or dishonest conduct of members
of the profession.
Every physician should aid in safe-
guarding tbe profession against tbe ad-
mission to its ranks of those who are
unfit or unqualified morally and in-
tellectually.
Professional service of physicians to
each other—experience teaches that it
is unwise for physicians to treat one
of his immediate family or himself.
Therefore a physician should always
cheerfully and willingly respond with
his professional service to the call of
any physician practicing in his vicin-
ity to render aid to the family or
his fellow physician.
The attending physician Bhould do
this free of compensation. In all long
serious illness, consultation should he
had and I have found it satisfactory
for the patient to name the consultant
physician. Both tbe attending and
consulting physicians should go over
the case together at the bedside. When
they have satisfied themselves as to
a thorough examination they should
seclude themselves and discuss the
case in secrecy. By no means should
the consultant physician have a pri-
vate talk with the patient or friends.
Many times we are called in large
number on emergency cases, each and
every man thinks he should be paid,
not for service rendered bat for having
made the trip. It has been my ex-
perience in such cases, a very diffi-
cult task to locate the party who gave
me the case, men of broader exper-
iences bold that the first to arrive
should be considered the physician In
charge, all others should depart.
A physician should avoid making so-
cial calls on those who are under the
professional care of other physicians
without the knowledge and consent of
the attending physician. Should a
friendly visit be made there should be
no Inquiry respecting the physical con-
dition or treatment of said patient. A
physician should never take charge of
or prescribe for a patient who is un-
der the care of another physician, ex-
cept in emergency, unitl after the
other physician has relinquished the
case or has been properly dismissed.
When a physician does succeed an-
other physician in the charge of a case I
he should not make any comments j
or insinuations, such comments or in-
sinuations tend to lower the esteem of j
the patient for the medical profession j
and so react against the critic.
Hospital Advantages
i
Webster defines hospital as being a j
place or institution in which the sick s
or injured are given medical and sur- j
gical treatment, commonly or in whole i
or in part at public expense or by j
charity. I agree with the author who j
said that an attempt to practice medi-
cine without a hospital is like going a
hunting without a gun.
What are some of the advantages of-
fered by the hospital?
1st. It offers protection to the ex-
pectant and confined mothers. Statis-
tics show in one of the eastern hospi-
tals that maternal mortality had been
reduced from 2% to less than one-
half of 1%.
2nd. It is no more a theory, but an
established fact that our women are '
more susceptible to fibroid tumors,
keloids and a few others, pus tubes I
or pyo-salpinx comes in large mini- j
bers. Without access to a local hos- j
pital such cases will have to be turned j
over to a hospital where we may not \
be allowed to operate.
3rd. A hospital offers nurse-training
for many of our girls that they could
in no other way obtain.
4th. Hospital patients can more
closely be observed with respect to
dieting and giving of medicinal reme-
dies. A complete record kept and
hence an insured speedy recovery.
5th. A hospital shows progressive-
ness and intelligent thought, on the
part of community in which it is lo-
cated. It Inspires confidence, stimu-
lates interest, it broadens the sphere
of the medical profession and at the
same time enables it to take its full
place in the heart of the public where
it rightfully belongB.
We should feel congratulated and
thank those in authority for establish-
ing a tubercular unit for our group
within our own community. The place
of which we speak Is out on the Shep-
perd Dam’s road. It Is desirably lo-
cated with respect to drainage, shade
and sunshine. Spacious enough to ac-
commodate a score or more of pa-
tients at one time, and the arrange-
ments are of such that offer the best
opportunity for their speedy recovery.
I believe that the forty thousand col-
ored of Houston should at some times
and in some way show their apprecia-
tion for this much needed institution
for our people.

YOU CAN LEARN A LOT
FROM ADVERTISING
The main thing an advertiser wants to do is to tell you
plainly Just how and why his goods are worthy of your
consideration. You can learn a great deal from that
alone, because many things you see advertised are the
things you buy and use in your regular dally life. By
reading the advertisements, you can learn the names and
read descriptions of the things that are beet and most sat-
isfactory.
But advertising teachers more than that. ~ All advertisera
trv to maka their advertisements themselves valuabta te
yeu.
A good many people hive learned a whole lot abou'. good
music, good books, good food, good clothes, ways to keep
healthy, ways to live comfortably, ways to kaep tha hauaa
and grounds looking well—they’ve learned all thasa things
and many other things Juat by reading advertisements.
Raad tha advertisements right along, and yeu will learn a
great deal that will be helpful and valuable te yeu as you
ga through 'life.

“And some fell
upon good ground'
The Sower, in the parable, cast his seed
to the winds of heaven.
That which landed among the stones, the
thorns and in the barren places, perished.
Only the seeds which reached the good
ground had a chance to grow.
The modern advertiser does not strew his
seed of salesmanship to the winds.
He plants it carefully in the “good ground”
—in the places where because of favorable
conditions it has a chance to bear a harvest
of consumer results.
He uses newspaper advertising because
through the newspapers he covers complete-
ly the markets which he knows, upon care-
ful investigation, to be right places for his
product to flourish.
